 Every year I try to share a testimony from the perspective of one of the older kids in KFCUSA. The last four years I have used one from a high school student in an effort to show the "fruit" of this ministry. Please understand that extraordinary kids like this one I want to share with you today are the product of strong environment.
When I received the following thoughts on "The Path of Freedom" via Facebook I was blown away. You see the topic of the Bible Club at his past week. I had sent the students their message via "text message" on Thursday and they discussed it on Friday. The topic was, "If God is in Charge, How Do I Have Free Will"? Well the following are the thoughts of a 17 year old young man named David:

New Opportunities for KFCUSA across the USA |
|
|

 For over two years I have sensed that there was a significant change coming to KFCUSA. I felt that it involved sharing this vision in many cities across the USA. I have tried for a year to do this in the only way I knew, which was going through the churches as a means of reaching the “masses” within the church. This was only marginally successful. When you consider that we only know of clubs functioning in seven U.S. cities and 67 schools in an eight year period, we haven’t even made a dent. After all, there are well over 60,000 elementary and jr. high schools in the nation, and we only know of 67 we’ve affected. That means that at our current breakneck pace we will reach the goal of seeing someone plant a club in every school in the nation -- in about 6,000 years.

Always Preach the Gospel; Whenever Possible, Text The Message |
|
|

 On April 23 the students in the high school Bible club “Fuse” had the first of two very unique messages. Bob Heath, founder of Kids for Christ USA, had a crazy idea, one of those that are “so crazy they just might work”.
“The idea was to get all the students to join a ‘text group’ for FUSE (The name of the group). Then I gave them all about 24 hours to text what they wish that they could hear someone teach, then I would teach them via text message(s),” said Heath. When the deadline arrived, Bob had two very good questions sent to him by the kids:
• “What does the power of God look like?”
• “If God is in control, how do we have free will?”

 For those of you who don’t know me, or know me that well, I represent Kids for Christ USA. KFCUSA is a ministry that assist students and parents in planting and facilitating Bible clubs in the public Elementary and Jr. High Schools. (Now we even work with a couple of High Schools.) In a nutshell, we network with people of all segments of “The Body of Christ” to be the ultimate resource for parents/students who wish to plant Bible clubs in the public schools.
Bible Clubs which are done well look like full-blown kids’ church or youth church - de-churchified -- and condensed to 30-40 minutes before or after the bell, right inside the public schools. As a ministry, KFCUSA is a little over 8 years old. In that eight years we have seen some things that worked and some that didn’t. I would venture to say that it is entirely possible that we are seeing more un-churched kids than anyone else in the USA. Whether that statement is true or not, I long for the day that it is. Please understand I love church kids, I am just called to reaching the schools -- and those kids are largely from families that do not attend any church on a regular basis.

KFCUSA Joins Forces With Good News Daily |
|
|
|
 Good News Daily is a Christian news and information website that seeks to relay positive news and feature stories from a Christian perspective - offering "hope after the headlines" of the daily newspaper - as well as to serve as a vehicle that shares information about Christian ministries and organizations, to better connect them for greater impact in our world.
I have written a monthly column for Good News Daily since the summer of 2006. Being a part of this project has been a huge honor for me. Since media spin is a concern to me and most every believer I talk to, I typically don’t allow myself to even waste my time on the mainstream media. One thing I love about Good News Daily is that you won't feel dizzy from the spin: There is none. Good News Daily is the perfect blend of journalistic integrity, and passion for Christ.

 Bob Heath, founder of Kids for Christ USA, is scheduling Community Impact Conferences and Meetings across the USA.
Call to host an event in your area!
Eight years ago Bob began taking the gospel into public elementary schools using the vehicle of "Before School Bible Clubs," working within the implied perimeters of the "Federal Equal Access Act". The program has since grown from one club in Tulsa, OK, to in excess of 67 clubs across the USA. "We saw over 10,000 decisions to serve Jesus just in the first six years, and thousands more led to Christ by kids using a simple tool called "The Ticket To Heaven Prayer", says Heath.

As another school year comes to a close I pause to reflect on the year. It has been a mixed bag of blessings and challenges and new beginnings. Thousands of kids made decisions to follow Jesus with their lives, new schools opened as did new doors. There were also a number of clubs that didn't get re-opened this year due to lack of Parent or student sponsors. This is not out of the ordinary, but I wish it were.
