Growth in Next Generation

In September Nancy Grayson Elementary Released Time started with just 7 students from the third-grade class With 16 volunteers God had prepared the way for this group to grow, and they really did! At the closing ceremonies, we celebrated 31 students and 17 volunteers. Each of these students learned at least one verse and there were 2 students that earned 100 points in just one year. The volunteers had grown in their spiritual walk as they trusted God to grow Released Time.
During the review of the students, favorite Bible accounts one very fidgety young man called out his favorite was the one about the war and the armor. The teacher learned through some questions that he was referring to the Armor of God. Another young lady shared her favorite verse from the year. Isaiah 41:10a - So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
Join me in praising God for sending workers to share the good news of Jesus with the students of Shippensburg. Praise God for shining the light of Christ into the darkness of this fallen world. John 15:16 tells us "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you." Ask God to call Released Time students to Himself through our summer camping programs. Learn more about camp click here.
