Together For Good

Bob is in the fourth grade and works hard at memorizing verses during Released Time. I had the pleasure of meeting this young man during a Released Time visit last year. He was also in my cabin for the Mother and Son Retreat this past spring, and I saw him again during a week of summer camp when he was signing his name on the poster board that keeps track of children that began relationships with Jesus during camp. 
Each aspect of Joy El worked together so that he could experience God in a personal way and ultimately begin a new relationship with Jesus. Now he will be able to return to Released Time and his listener to be encouraged to deepen his relation ship with Jesus. 
There are thousands of Bobs in the public school system, that need the hope of Jesus in their lives. If you are interested in joining me to reach young people for Christ, please let me know and I can help you find a Released Time to volunteer with near you. Click Here for a Volunteer Application.

Slow Fade

It is amazing how our perceptions can change. Summer goes by much faster than winter and school takes forever to end. As an adult, I know that 12 years is a relatively short amount of time. Isn't that how it is with sin. Our perception of how bad something is changes. I am old enough to remember when divorce was a terrifying sin for a Christian, but over time churches have come to accept it a just part of life BUT scripture tells us in Malachi 2:16 "For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence," Says the LORD of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously."
It is easy for us to deviate from the path the God sets for us to walk in if we do not know the scriptures. Even churches can get lost, but the Released Time Bible Program is fighting hard to teach children the scriptures during their public school hours. Please join us as we pray for more students, more volunteers, and more missionaries to carry on the work.
