Topaz Ranch Estates Kid's Club

I wanted to share this story about Topaz Ranch Estates Church Kid's Club. Topaz Ranch Estates is located in Wellington, NV.

The club began out of the realization for a need of children’s ministry in their area. At first people said that children’s ministry was pointless, that no kids lived in the area. Because two buses come to the area, church members realized that was not the case.

In 2008 Larisa Craig and a mission team began to canvas the area for VBS. The first night one child showed up. Since then Larisa has returned to work with kids club, which has expanded to meet twice a month from 5:00-7:00. They begin with games. Then they do an activity, this week everyone got to dye Easter eggs and take the eggs home. After the eggs were dyed, Larisa taught a Bible study on Issac and Abraham, and then told the story of Jesus being sacrificed.

The group serves dinner at each kids club, realizing that this may be one of the few decent meals some of the kids have. Sierra, one of the 11 year old girls was talking to a friend, telling her she needs to come to Sunday School. I asked why she liked Sunday School. She said learning about Jesus was awesome, and so were the crafts!

Please be praying for this group as they continue to reach out to their community.
