Kids Blast is our annual Kids Crusade at our church. It took the place of their VBS.
We do three nights of high energy kids services. We have motion songs, games, candy, prizes, lessons, worship and altar time.
This year's Kids Blast absolutely blew me away.
The theme for Kids Blast 2018 was "No Fear". Once we decided on that theme the Lord began to work on the fear in our lives and in the lives of several members of our team.
Let me just say right now that we have an amazing team!! We are so proud of our students and the adults that came along side us to minister to the kids in our community.
Kids Blast is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night. The Sunday night before it starts, our church canvasses the neighborhoods around the church. We knock on doors and invite kids to come.
Each night the kids register, play in the gym, then at 6:00pm they come into the sanctuary and we do 15 minutes of pre-service games then we start service.
We had so much fun and from weeks before we knew that "No Fear" was directly from the Lord. We prayed for adults and kids who are facing fears and who had been allowing fear to control them. Every night God showed up and moved among us.
We are so thankful that God uses us. It is such an honor to serve Him and to share His love with kids, teens and adults.
We wish we had grown up knowing the love of the Lord and knowing that He is always with us. This is what drives us to share with kids God's love now. We want them to KNOW Him so that no matter what they face in life they will know that He will never leave them or forsake them.
The kids around us are facing many things. There are many broken homes and broken hearts around us.
Would you join me in praying that God would continue His work in the days and weeks beyond our kids crusade and that if these babies need a church home that they would feel welcome at our church. We want them to be continually told how much they are loved and have a church family to help them grow and to support them.
Father, Thank you so much for all that you did in during Kids Blast this year. Thank you for all that you brought to light. Thank you for your undeniable love and healing. Thank you for our amazing team, would you bless them and grow them. Thank you for all that you did in me. I ask that you would continue to grow me and propel me forward. Teach me and heal me. Lord I want to serve YOU all the days of my life. Nothing I have ever done compares to serving you and being in your perfect will. Nothing I have ever chased has fulfilled me the way that YOUR love fulfills me. Thank you for loving me, healing me, using me and for being YOU. You are faithful. You are wonderful. You are love. You are truth. You are everything I have ever wanted or needed. I am so thankful that You pull me up out of the darkness and set my feet on solid ground. And I am so thankful that you use me to love your children young and not so young. Thank you Lord. Thank you. In Jesus; name I pray. Amen.
Let me leave you with the lyrics to a wonderful song...Tremble by Bethel Worship
Jesus, Jesus
You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus
You silence fear
