Community we all need it! Whether we realize it or not.

32, 4, and 6

We are in the midst of raising funds for our kids wing remodel. So we made a video to highlight the value of children’s ministry.

This powerful statistic comes from George Barna’s book “Transforming Children Into Spiritual Champions”. I have quoted it below.

George Barna reported that “the greatest evangelistic window currently available is among young children.” According to the data gathered, children, ages 5 through 13 have a 32 % probability of coming to Christ while teenagers and adults have just a 4% and 6% probability respectively of doing so. Barna continued in the report to state “that if a person does not accept Christ as savior before the age of 14 the likelihood of ever doing so is slim.”

Man to Man Defense

"If evolution really works, how
come mothers only have two hands?"
Milton Berle

We are now experiencing the difficulty of our man to man defense. Before the birth of our second son we could double team our first son we would win most games. Now it’s man to man and when we need fresh legs I keep looking to the bench and there is no one there, I call for a time out only to find out that we have used them all. I can’t imagine what it will be like with three when will have to switch to zone defense. Two kids is fun, but two kids is though. In the end I wouldn’t trade either of them for the world.
