Back Together: KiDs Beach Club® Brings In-Person Leadership Luaus Nationwide

For the first time since Covid hit in 2020, KiDs Beach Club^® hosted nationwide training for club leaders and volunteers. These “Leadership Luaus” gave attendees the opportunity to learn how clubs are run, hear helpful tips from experienced leaders, and celebrate our shared mission to make Jesus cool at school! Participants also enjoyed fun prizes and united in prayer for the kids who will be impacted through KiDs Beach Club^®.

Luaus were held in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, and Kentucky. Churches across the country rallied their Beach Club^® volunteers, with some even going the extra mile, literally, by bringing a full busload of volunteers to participate!

Did the attendees find the Luaus valuable? Listen to what they had to say:

• “Thank you, KBC, for your continued leadership in sharing the Gospel. It was a wonderful training.” – Dallas Region Luau Attendee
• “I am so excited to start the new year!!!” – First Conyers (Georgia) Luau Attendee
• “Had such a sweet time! Thank you all for everything! Looking forward to a fantastic KiDs Beach Club^® year!” – Ellendale (Tennessee) Luau Attendee
• “It was a great experience!” – First Conyers (Georgia) Luau Attendee

We were so excited to have everyone back in person and are deeply grateful for the wonderful turnout. Keep an eye on the KBC website for photos and videos from all our 2024 Fall Luaus. We can’t wait to share more with you!

North Texas Giving Day is September 19!

September 19 is North Texas Giving Day (NTXGD), one of our three major annual fundraising opportunities.

As has been the case for the past few years, KBC will be featured on WBAP-AM (820) in the North Texas area for two weeks leading up to NTXGD. On the evening of the 19^th, KBC will be featured LIVE on the Chris Krok show.

Chris focuses on family, faith, and wholesome values on his nightly talk show. In 2011, he was honored as one of the 100 most important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America, by being added to “Talkers” magazine’s “Heavy Hundred” list, ranking him among the biggest Talk Radio Stars in the U.S.

KiDs Beach Club^® is BUILDING FAITH in preteens and their families around the world. We need your help in continuing to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.

How can you help? Simply text KBC2024 to 41444 to support our NTXGD campaign. Or go to https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/Kids-Beach-Club and enter your gift there.

God has placed in our hearts a big goal for NTXGD because we have a BIG GOD who is changing lives and making it happen!

It’s been 60 years, but the incredible Olympic victory of American Billy Mills in the 1964 10,000-meter race stands as one of the greatest moments in Olympic history.

Born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Billy was orphaned at 12 years old. He struggled to find direction in his life, but ended up attending college on an athletic scholarship. After graduation, Mills joined the U.S. Marine Corps, where he found a running coach and through hard work and sheer willpower, he qualified for the 1964 Olympics.

But Billy wasn’t considered the best. He came in second in the Olympic trials, and his best time in the 10,000-meter race was almost two minutes slower than the world record. But during the actual race, Billy found the determination to become a CHAMPION!

As the runners came around the final turn in the race, Billy was well behind the leaders. But he gathered all the determination he could muster and began a sprint that is legendary in the track and field world. He sprinted past runner after runner, finally passing the leader with just steps left before the finish line. In winning, he set a new Olympic record.

Determination is a powerful thing! And KBC is determined to achieve our mission of giving every preteen a Jesus experience. But we also need determined, faithful ministry partners to come alongside us to make that happen.

Your regular monthly gift provides stability to KBC so we can more effectively accomplish our goal. Regular monthly gifts help reduce the “highs and lows” of giving cycles, and provide financial stability that is vital to help us stay focused.

THANK YOU for your faithful monthly support of KiDs Beach Club^®.

James 5:16b – The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

Club Leader Gene Parks shared a story with us about a young man in Grace Hardeman Elementary in Watauga, Texas.

One of the kids in the Grace 

Hardeman Beach Club^® had a friend, whom we will call Billy. You see, Billy wasn’t attending Beach Club^®. And according to Gene, his friend wanted Billy to come, but apparently, Billy’s mother was hesitant to let him be a part of the club.

After learning about God in his club, the boy realized that he needed to ask God for some help in getting his friend Billy to join in the fun! So when he was asked to write down any prayer requests he might have, the boy simply wrote:

 “My friend Billy because his mom won’t let him come.”

We know, as we read in James 5, that the prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much!

And guess what? God heard that prayer and Gene reported that Billy’s mom had filled out a registration form to allow Billy to attend Beach Club^®!

Gene wrote, “TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Great things are happening at Beach Club^®!” Great things, indeed!

As summer heads to fall, KBC is excited about seeing everyone in person in August in one of our many Leadership Luaus!

These Leadership Luaus are a perfect opportunity to catch the “Beach Club^® Fever!” Hear motivational talks, be encouraged, win cool prizes, and learn about new and exciting tips/techniques to help make your Beach Club^® THE place to be for kids this fall!
