Across the County Kid’s Stories

From the Mailbox Club Lady:

“I am amazed how many children are putting names of their friends down to try the Mailbox Club
lessons. Even one of the adults signed up the child’s mother (age 50) because she wanted to try the lessons.”

From Good News Club®:

A boy who was handed a candy cane, “I don’t like candy canes.” He says with a big smile on his face. He continues using excited hand motions and voice, “But you know what I do? I tie a string around them and make a grappling hook!”

One boy asked, “What’s this?” when he saw a Bible sitting at his place at Good News Club®. “Is this for me to keep?” During the Bible lesson he asked for help to find the passage in the Bible. He and the boy beside him eagerly leaned over his Bible trying to follow along with that week’s Bible lesson.

We were waiting for the bus to pick us up when I (Shelley) overheard a mom telling Jerusha how she had attended Good News Club® when she was in elementary school. I had to jump in the conversation asking her where she attended club and her name. Based on the information she gave, Norma Minnich and I were the club teachers at the time she attended. Now her son is participating in club!

In Good News Club® we encourage the children to give and pray for our missionaries. This year the children were raising money for gospel tracts to go to the children in the Middle East. Our missionary had provided nativity ornaments that the children in the Middle East had colored. The last day of club when I announced to the children that they would each get an ornament from a child who lived in the Middle East, one of my clubbers shouted out, “We gave to them, and now they are
giving to us!”
