Salvation Weekend Kid Stories

Here are a few stories from Salvation Weekend in K.1 Promiseland. I am sure there are many more stories,not listed here, that have yet to be told. Enjoy having a birds-eye view of God's transforming work in the lives of kindergartners, first graders, parents and leaders.

• Kaylie came to me during activity stations and said that she became friends with Jesus last year…when she was 5. She asked if she could explain it to the others. So during small group time while the kids were coloring I asked her to share her story and she did. It was wonderful. 3 of my 7 prayed the prayer tonight. The other 4 said they had prayed it before.

• Charis Joy Franks got it! She admitted, believed and chose. As a Dad it was tremendous to have the help and opportunity to bring our conversations to a head. Thanks, PL!

• 3 kids today finally understood and grasped the story of Jesus dying on the cross for their sins.

• 4 Children put their hands in Daryl and I’s and they chose Jesus!

• A boy in my group said that he saw heaven when he was a baby.

• My kids that prayed today, prayed outloud and with confidence.

• I was pleasantly surprised at how many kids choose Jesus as their forever friend.

• Half of my group already knows Jesus

• One of my kids knew the Bible verse (John 3:16) word for word

• Emma accepted Jesus as her forever friend. Emma was brought to tears by her decision.

• One girl kept saying, “God is my forever friend now!”

• My daughter accepted Christ!

• 3 of my kids prayed the prayer.

• All my kids prayed to be God’s forever friend today!
