When kids leave this age group, we want them to know that:
My identity is in Jesus.
This is such an important age for kids. They are at the beginning of the adventure of being a teenager. We are convinced that our kids will be better equipped to face adulthood if they are established in Jesus at this age already.
This is an exciting group that meets every second Friday night and we have been amazed at the maturity these guys and girls have shown. They have fun and laugh until it hurts.
My parents have struggled financially for years (almost 10 years now). Through these tough situations is how I actually came to rely on God and give my life over to Him (2004-ish). Through the years, my parents have asked me for money and sometimes I’ve loaned them money and sometimes I haven’t. Early on through wisdom from elders, I learnt that I should never “loan” money, I should rather “give” money with no expectation of receiving it back so that there is freedom in giving and no guilt put onto a relationship or a person. This was difficult for me as I thought in order to honour and respect my parents (a commandment) I needed to help them when they needed help. I had to make a stand for Jesus in my life and say that I couldn’t help them financially anymore. I had to separate myself from my earthly parents and follow what my Heavenly Father says is right and true. 2 Corinthians 12:14 “… After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children”.
