David Luna — K-1st Grade Small Group Relationship Coordinator
It is a blessing to be able to connect, teach, and share with the children the teachings of our Lord, and I truly love it. These children, our next generation, need to know about our God and Jesus Christ and what He means to me and to them. It is the most important message that we can give them.
I currently serve as the Small Group Relationships Coordinator for Kindergarten to 1st Grade in Kidzone. I have been teaching in Kidzone or Children’s Ministry at Chase Oaks Church for around 19 years. It was a calling from God to use the gift or talent that He gave me. It is a blessing to be able to connect, teach, and share with the children the teachings of our Lord, and I truly love it. Sometimes it is hard get up each and every weekend to prepare and go in to teach these kids. It can be difficult and sometimes you wonder if you are even getting through to these kids and their parents.
In Acts 17, Paul along with other followers went to three cities to teach others about the Gospel of Jesus. He met people that wanted to know more about this Jesus and the one true God, but others did not believe and wanted to even hurt them, but Paul and the other Christians continued to spread the Word even though it was difficult (17:13-14).
Just like Paul and the first Christians, I am reminded that we must persevere because these children, our next generation, need to know about our God and Jesus Christ and what He means to me and to them. It is the most important message that we can give just as it was for Paul in the early church.
What are you doing to spread the Word, the Gospel of Jesus? What can you do today, even though it may be hard, to tell others about Jesus Christ? We need more volunteers to serve with these kids. Is it your calling?
