This Actually Happens In Homes Just Like Your's
Monday, December 31, 2012 at 1:17PM The following is an excerpt from Bob Heath's book Reaching A New Generation of Kids for Christ:
“Mom! Dad! Wake up!” These words boom out of your child’s mouth as he races into your bedroom.
“Please get up!” Your son gently nudges your side and pushes into your arm. “You’ve got to get me to school early today!”
Your eyelids slowly open and your eyes start to focus. You’re shocked with what you see first. Your son is already dressed for school and is even holding your car keys!
“It’s Kids for Christ day,” he says emphatically. “And I don’t want to miss it!”
Does such a scene sound impossible? I’ve lived the normal reality with sleepy-headed children who refuse to get dressed for school. I’ve fought the endless morning battles just to get a child out of bed and ready for the day. I know how ridiculous this may sound to you, yet I also know after talking to hundreds of parents that a scene just like this one happens all across America as kids prepare to attend their weekly Bible Club meeting.
I’ve also heard a related scenario: kids begging parents to let them stay at school late in order to attend a weekly after-school Bible Club program.
Perhaps you too will hear stories just like this as you begin your own Bible Club. But before you print up your flyers and set up your weekly schedule, it’s probably wise to start with a solid foundation that will prepare you for what you’re going to encounter. This book was written in order to help equip you with the knowledge, skills and insight needed to run an effective Bible Club in an American Public School.
