From the Voice of a Volunteer
Gene Parks, KiDs Beach Club® Volunteer, 2022-2023 School Year
Cora, a rising 4th grader from Spring Garden Elementary chose to make Jesus her Forever Friend during Beach Club® this last year. She made that decision public to her pastor and church family on June 4th when she followed the Lord in baptism. "Ms. Gene," one of Cora's Beach Club® leaders was there to support and cheer Cora on in this great decision! Before being baptized, Cora had the pastor say, "A shout out to KiDs Beach Club® and Ms. Gene for helping me with my decision!" 
We serve a mighty God who is actively working on the hearts of the precious children who attend Club week in and week out. You see, Cora already knew about Jesus when she started attending Beach Club® last fall. He was no stranger to her, but He was not yet her personal Forever Friend. Then one day during Club, Cora asked Ms. Gene if she could help her ask Jesus into her heart, settling that decision once and for all!
Gene shared with us, "All glory, honor, and praise be to God for Cora's decision and for using KBC for His Kingdom! I am so grateful God allowed me to see the fruit! What a beautiful example of how God uses KBC to partner with churches!"
When a seed is planted, we never know when it will take root and produce fruit. In Cora's case, not only did that seed take root, but Ms. Gene was able to plant more seeds by ministering to Cora's extended family. She was able to encourage and pray for Cora's older sister who was nervous about starting high school in the fall, and she was able to share Christ with another family member who herself was wrestling with that same decision Cora made.

Cora's story is why we do what we do here at KBC! And it's why we keep doing it!
THANK YOU to all our volunteers who faithfully serve each week during the school year!
Thank you for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and for showing up to support
your Beach Club® kids, even when it's not your home church!
