This video (How Bad Do You Want It) has been a huge encouragement for me as I work with my kids. They need the love of Christ and people in their lives who will be the example for them. A lot of my kids don’t have a good family life. I’ve never been a physical father, but these kids have been teaching me how to be one for them. How to pour my life into them and plant seeds for God to give the increase on.
I would like to ask you all to consider supporting and growing your bus ministry. This ministry is very special in that it connects you with families outside of the Church and through the kids reach the rest of the family. A lot of times, these kids are looked down on as rowdy troublemakers, but they are in desperate need of people who will love on them and show them Jesus.
There are 5 main ways that you can support a bus ministry. If you are interested in helping, please talk to Mr.Whitlock since he has been running the vans.
1.Be a bus captain, a rider, or someone who takes care of the behind the scenes work
This allows the unique opportunity to prepare the kid’s hearts for Church and reinforce what they learned. Allows you to connect with the kids and their family in a way that others can’t. Allows you maintain the ministry spiritually and legally (preventing chaos on the ride to and from church)
2. Be a bus mechanic
Help maintain the vehicles. This is very important since there can be no bus ministry workout properly working vans or busses
3. Going on outreach
Gets you into the community and allows for growth of the Church
4.Be a financial supporter
Ministries cost money. Contributing to the van ministry would allow for a bigger budget to grow it.
This could also entail donating or selling a van to the church when the need arises.
5.Pray
This is huge. Without God’s blessing on this ministry, it will not succeed. Please pray for the bus ministry and the workers.
