Foundations for Teens

Tom Teaching MK and Friends

For the last 2 years Levi and Jacob have enjoyed attending the teen youth group called MK and friends.  Most of the teens are missionary kids from NTM.  

They are currently studying the Firm Foundations lessons Creation to Christ.  Though many of them have heard this before being MK’s, many of the “friends” who come have not had the solid foundation of God’s work leading up to Christ.   There are several people and even some of the older teens who take turns teaching.  Last friday I had the opportunity to take a turn.   We are praising the Lord that these young people desire to learn God’s Word.   For the last few weeks I have enjoyed seeing them actively engaged in the lessons.   This last week was no different.  Yes, there were silly teen age answers mixed in, but they were all eager to answer questions and even raced to find the scripture portions to read.    MK and Friends2

As we worked through the Passover events I was encouraged as the teens were able to discuss God’s requirement of a blood sacrifice starting from Adam and Eve.   I was encouraged that they tied God’s provision of the passover lamb to the ram God provided in exchange for Isaac’s life.     I praise the Lord for the foundation that God has given us in His Word and for those who have worked to make this study a reality for so many.    Thanks Ruth!  See Dave and Ruth Brendle’s blog f or their version of this story!  It is a thrill to teach God’s Word and see lives changed!

Thank you again for standing with us in prayer as we begin this New Year.  God continues to prove himself faithful and show his desire to save and use sinful human beings for His glory and honor. 

Our family continues to minister to prospective missionaries.   Even today we rejoiced as one of those couples began their journey  to the mission field.   As I write, they have been in the air for about 2 hours on their first day of travel to the Philippines.  They will be ministering to missionary children at Faith Academy,  an international school.
