1. How long have you been serving in the children's ministry at the Crux?
I started when we were in the theater.
2. What is the one thing that makes you so passionate about this specific group of kids?
I love working with children. They energize me with their inquisitive nature.
3. Why did you decide to get involved with this ministry?
For 2 reasons: 1) I was fortunate to have 2 godly grandmothers who were both involved in the children’s ministries at their churches. They were wonderful role-models for me and exemplified the importance of loving every child. I realize that not every child comes from a stable environment. Sometimes a child just needs that one person who is consistently there for them and who shows them what it is like to be loved by God. I count it a privilege to be used by God in this way. I also feel it is a way I can honor my grandmothers for the incredible impact they had on my life. 2) The second reason is to maintain balance in my life. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in advancing my degree and working on research and taking care of dying children…that I desperately just need to be around healthy children. Working with healthy children provides a balance for me.
4. Where would you like to see this ministry in 1 year?
Ah this is a tough question. Because one is always inclined to say we want more kids…more numbers. Although that would be nice, I would especially like to see our kids . among the students and also between the students and adults that are involved in our ministry. I would love to see their relationships deepen with Christ as they learn more and grow closer to Him.
5. What are some of the biggest challenges for you in working with this class?
Space…and the wide variety of ages in one classroom. I look forward to the day we will have enough children and enough workers to break into smaller, more age appropriate groups.
