Today we lift up students as they enter into a new year. We pray for peace and trust as they learn to navigate new concepts and situations; that no matter what challenges or joys the year holds, they will see God moving in their lives. May they know and rely on the love God has for them. ⁠
⁠
"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." 1 John 4:16⁠

Today we lift up parents and guardians as they make decisions, encourage students, and prepare for the new school year. We pray for wisdom and hope for parents as they step into a new year of unknown challenges and opportunities. Above all, may they know and remember that they are not alone--Christ goes before them and with them every step of the way!

"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8

Let's join together in prayer as schools reopen for the coming year! Join in lifting up administrators, teachers, paras, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, resource officers, coaches, and all those who will be serving, leading, and guiding students this school year.

"The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you, the Lord lift up his countenance on you and give you peace" Numbers 6:24-26

I spy some familiar faces from the Kids Crossing team in Uganda! Mr. Mark, Miss Kimmi, and Mrs. Laurie are serving this week. We miss them in Kids Crossing, but we are so thankful for their heart to serve in Uganda!

The Uganda team is en route from Kampala to Busia, on the border between Uganda and Kenya. Busia will be base for the week as the team serves through eyeglass clinics, kids' day camps, pastor training, health clinics, roof repairs for widows, and the establishment of a lending library of faith-based books. It will be a busy week! Pray for perseverance and for many to hear about and respond to Jesus.

Today in Kids Crossing, we learned about how Samson’s sin led to his own death, but God used his death to save the Israelites from their enemies. Samson’s story reminds us of Jesus. Jesus never sinned, but God sent Him to die on the cross and rise again to rescue people from sin and give them eternal life.

Ask your elementary-aged kid to share the gospel with you using these icons. Hint: if they need a little help to remember, we sent a gospel plan home with each child this week. :)

Crown: God Rules. (Colossians 1:16-17)
X: We Sinned. (Romans 3:23)
Cross: God Provided. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Gift: Jesus Gives. (Romans 5:8)
Hand: We Respond. (Romans 10:9)

Pray for the opportunities for you and your child to share the gospel with others this week. If you sense that your child is ready to respond to the gospel, pray together and then let us know so that we can celebrate with you!

DAILY CHALLENGE

Take the time to let someone know you care, even if they are not physically with you.

Write a letter to a relative, friend, co-worker, or someone from your church asking them how they are doing, letting them know how you are, and sharing something that would encourage them. You can add drawings or stickers before mailing it to them.
