Great Tutoring Workshop!

On September 25-26, 2009, Midvale Baptist Church hosted the first-ever Tutoring Children & Youth workshop in the Central Baptist Association! Six people attended the workshop from a variety of locations and denominations. I can’t wait to see the ministries that will develop as a result. So often, we look at the problems in our communities and wonder how we can make a difference. How can we help with the obvious needs, but also with the underlying spiritual need that so many are not even aware of? I look at graduation rates and on the surface, Wisconsin is doing pretty well. But as we dig a little deeper we see that graduation rates vary drastically from location to location and across different ethnic groups. This workshop equipped me to help a child who is struggling with schoolwork and consistently demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ, not only to the child but to his whole family!

A special thank-you to Renea Adkins, our NAMB-certified workshop leader from Indiana, and to First Lutheran Lodi and Pastor Mike Lee, who funded the workshop. Please pray that those who were equipped will use what they’ve learned to further the Kingdom, for His glory!
