Dear Parents,
I want to share just a few short thoughts.
B.G.M.C. Bike Day just happened. Your child had a great opportunity to put "action" and "effort" to a worthy cause. We try to provide learning opportunities for your children that will help them throughout life. We believe that one of the greatest things any person can learn--at any age--is to get "beyond oneself and focus on the needs of others."
Even this B.G.M.C. Bike Day effort could be a learning lesson for your child. You could help your child to understand more about sacrifice, denying oneself, working through a tough project even when one's emotions are saying "I don't feel like it."
Missions is generally about personal sacrifice. The missionaries themselves have sacrificed a "normal" american lifestyle. They have sacrificed their time. Their families have sacrificed the comfort of being in America. "What would God have us to sacrifice?" Maybe that's a question that can be discussed in review of our B.G.M.C. Bike Day.
I'm proud of the forty-some riders that we had on Sunday morning. My hope is that we in Kidsworld ministry are helping your efforts in raising children that are "others" minded, rather than self-serving.
I invite you to share any thoughts or ideas you may have on how we may better work with you and other parents to accomplish this goal. See you soon!
Serving Together,
Pastor Randy
