KidsQuest offered a training for all our volunteers a couple weeks ago. The theme this year is Elevating Community. Taken from Acts 2:42 where the early church devoted themselves to the Word of God, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer, our desire is to incorporate these four areas into the KQ small groups and the volunteer staff. After the training, I was discouraged because I didn’t feel like it went well. However in only a week, I have seen people catch the vision of Elevate! Leaders are investing more into preparing to teach, volunteers are coming early to pray and have begun brainstorming ways to fellowship outside of church together, celebrating what God is doing through them and in the lives of the kids. This past Sunday everyone seemed happy to be there, excited about the future and igniting this world for Christ. God is truly elevating this community. I’m excited to see where He takes us as we continue to devote ourselves to His purpose for our lives and our ministry in KidsQuest.
