Score!

Red Card Kids was designed to raise awareness about children at risk and inspire a reaction among families in the church

(Don't know what I'm talking about?  click HERE or check out their website HERE)

One 11-year-old boy took what he learned in this 8-week class to heart.  When Jacob found out that more children die from malaria than AIDS he wanted to come with a way to help.

As a soccer player, he asked people to donate money for every goal his team made that season.  The money Jacob was raised would then go towards buying mosquito nets for children on the other side of the world. 

 

Wow, Jacob, this is really awesome!  Keep it up!

If you want to know more, here’s a link to an article from the Denver Post highlighting Jacob’s story.

Equip Yourself to Take a Stand - Pt. 2

As a follow up to this post introducting Red Card Kids, we'll be highlighting the first 2 lessons in the Red Card workbook!

Lesson 1: God's Heart for Children

-If everyone embraced the idea that children are created in God's image, how would this change teh way children are treated?

-Memorize Mark 10:14b. Use your prayer card to review God's heart for children and pray for them.

Lesson 2: Poverty

-How would your daily routine change if you spent 4-5 hours fetching your family's water each day? Knowing that your nearest source of water is 4 miles away, what would you do to reduce your water usage?

Equip Yourself to Take a Stand!

We are excited to introduce you to Red Card Kids... and we'll be highlighting their program over the next several weeks!

Overview: 

Red Card is an 8-week family class on children at risk. Lessons raise awareness of their situations, provide a biblical view of God’s heart for these children, challenge believers to pray for them, and offer practical steps for involvement. The material is designed to provide eight 75-minute lessons for use in churches.

The unique feature of the curriculum is our target audience… families. We want to encourage and empower children to become advocates for the largest unreached group in the world – their own peers. Lessons will allow parents and children (4th grade and up) to learn, process, pray, and take practical steps together.

Testimony from the Donels family, who were impacted by the Red Card class and recently brought home two children from Ethiopia -

The Red Card class opened our eyes to the devestating needs of children around the world. Each week had such an impact on our family because of the hands-on activities.
