The Lord has BIG plans for the kids at Bible Club

By Anna Zach

Over the past few months we have been planning and planning for the new Bible Club year. There has been this deep desire in me to help make Bible Club a really amazing place; a place where these kids know that we see how amazing they are, how much they are capable of, how talented they are, and how much potential is inside of them just waiting to be unleashed. I just know these kids are wonderful and I want them to know it too.

In October I went to St. Louis for the Annual CCDA conference. As a first timer I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was expectant. I found myself encouraged and affirmed in all the planning and thought that we have been taking for Bible Club. I was encouraged to sit in on speakers who passionately shared about God’s expectation for our young people. God has been in the habit of using young people to do amazing things- David, Josiah, Esther, Jeremiah – they were all teenagers when the Lord called them to insanely huge tasks for His kingdom. Does God still have amazing and huge things for teenagers to do? Does He have heroic works for our teenagers at Teen Bible Club? Do I believe it? Absolutely, one hundred percent, you bet your bibby He does!!! I am incredibly excited and expectant to be a part of what He intends to do as He reaches into the lives of our young people. These kids and teens have so much in them that God has wonderfully placed there. They have a power that He has given them, and we, if we allow it, have the chance to see it come to life. I am so excited for Bible Club to be a place where young people have a place to learn and use all that God has gifted them with.
