I started at Brookwood today. Besides alot of paperwork I had an awesome day. I worked on a MacBook all day and took it home to just play around and see what I can come up with on Pro Presenter and work with all the tools at my disposal.

I am excited to be involved FULL TIME with a ministry with vision of growing to reach kids for Christ. I can’t wait to use my gifts and abilities to lead them further in their relationship or even intiate their relationships. Keep praying that God will bless our ministry and that God will be honored through our efforts.

I am so tremendously pumped about getting plugged in and adding to an already incredible Children’s team.

Now the search for a dwelling place is on. If you know of something between North Greenville University and Mauldin let me know.

Love you guys

This is my mode of thinking right now.

How can we get kids either further in their relationship to Christ or to begin their relationship with Christ. How can we present the word of God in a relevant, accessible and fun way. These are the 3 things that we want to do at Brookwood.

We want to be relevant. We want to be up to date. We do not want to do GI Joe or the Jungle Book but we want to be involved in Horton Hears a Who and Mim’s Island.

Why? What are kids doing around the world? They are watching these movies, these TV shows and playing with these toys. We want the kids to feel comfortable in order to teach them the word of God.

We want to be accessible. Different people have a different knowledge of the Bible. This is especially true with Children. We want to make it a priority that our services are accessible to all kids no matter their knowledge of God’s word. We also realize that the Holy Spirit Himself will bridge the gap of understanding but we must to do our part to commit our teaching to reach all regardless of prior knowledge.

We want to be fun. Why is this a requirement of our ministry? Shouldn’t we focus on sound teaching and hope that it is fun? That is not a bad question but why can’t you be both? God is capable of all things. We want God to work on kids hearts and bring them closer to Him. But to bring kids back it needs to be fun. We are doing our job by knowing that kids need to have fun. We are presenting the message in a way that relates to kids and trusting God with the results.

All of these things are individual goals but also must work hand in hand with one another. If their isn’t a balance then we aren’t fulfilling our mission. This is where my heart is and I can’t wait to get started.

Pray that God would bless my efforts by seeing people from volunteers to children go further in their relationship with Christ because of my efforts.

Well now that I am employed the vision is starting and boy am I excited. I need to know some video editing stuff. What do you think is the best? What should I look for in the future coming out to really make videos awesome? These are questions I am looking for the answer to. Let me know what you think. 

I don’t know what else to say. Not only is it an answer to prayer but it is also way more than I expected. I start Monday at Brookwood. I am basically going to be involved with the services for the third to fifth graders at Brookwood Church! I’m so happy I prayed that everyone who was praying gets blessed about a gazillion times. God answers prayers!!! Love you all so much. out
