Children's Ministry News and Insights
If you are engaged in Children's Ministry within the West Michigan Conference, thank you SO much! You truly are helping to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. As you engage in this vital area of ministry, know that my prayers are with you. Do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of help, support and encouragement to you. I pray that this page will prove to be a useful resource for you as you continue your work in sowing and growing God's kingdom.
Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times. -- Mark 4:8
