"What Does Kids for Christ USA Mean to You"? |
 Every two years we close the year with a little poll we call the “Year End Survey” (Original huh?) Four years ago we asked 236 children in the Tulsa area a series of questions (See story titled, “Year End Student Survey 2003-04 on this website.) Two years ago the survey was done with by the groups we worked with in Sacramento, CA (See Story titled, “Update: Sacramento”.) This year I tried something a tad different. In the spirit of being a random sampling I sent out this question to everyone in our Kids for Christ USA group on Facebook. The responses couldn’t have been more perfect if I had planed it AND I DIDN’T!
Four of the people that responded were:
1-College Theology Student Volunteer
1-Lead Minister/Teacher
1-KFCUSA Board Member
1-Jr. High Student

 Adults once again our kids have lead the way and we are dragging behind. I am refering to internet communities such as "Facebook". I know mnay of you Moms and Dads have resisted the very thought for a variety of reasons.
I am constantly searching for better ways to get more people involved in this vision, so that we can reach more and more kids accross the USA. Between the tools on Facebook itself and the fact that many cell phone carriers make "Facebook mobile" available as a part of their servies I have found it to be a VERY POWERFUL tool |

Dating Perspectives of a Christian Teen's Dad |
 Right off the bat, I am just going to tell you three things:
1. In this case the teenager is my SON. Have you ever noticed that articles like this are usually written from the perspective of the girl’s father?2. If you buy into the “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” theory, I should just kiss you goodbye right now, because you won’t want to hear this.
3. If you are looking for some deep spiritual directive in this piece, good luck! I promise not to use multiple Scriptures to make my points, just Biblically based horse sense. I intend this to poignant, but slightly comedic. Parenting is hard enough with a sense of humor.

 Our objective is to keep parents involved by setting events and participation activities for all parents in the school and especially KFC students's parents.
As an example, Anderson Elementary is hosting a Parents Breakfast early in April, followed by a Family Game Night back in the school gym at the end of the month.

A Great Day In The Kingdom of God |
|
 This past Friday (3.7.08)
was an absolutely extraordinary 24 hour period in Kids for Christ USA. Actually,
I am convinced that it was an extraordinary day in THE KINGDOM of GOD. Testimonies such as these are not
an everyday occurrence in our ministry, but are far
more prevalent than I typically share in this platform.
To begin with, on Thursday
evening God was reaching out to a young lady (14 years old) to help her
overcome the temptation to "cut". Cutting if you are not
familiar with it, is a sick demonic attack against our youth. I find it
amazing that we as a nation spend insane amounts of money teaching kids to say
no to drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile cutting is not something people talk about very often, but for an estimated 2 to 3 million Americans it is a serious problem. The majority of people who self-injure or "cut" are women between the ages of 13 and 30, but there are "cutters" of every age, gender, and economic group. (read the story on our website called "Trying to Cope..." about cutting.)
