The mama of a fourth grade girl called me yesterday to discuss her daughter's interest in baptism. She was very complimentary of the ministry in general, but there were two things she told me that really stuck out.
She told me that it is obvious her daughter is learning alot. The example she gave me was that they play an "ABC" game in the car. The other day her daughter suggeted that they use the Bible as their subject. The mama was so impressed with her daughter's knowledge and noticed that she was referencing stories that she did not remember teaching her. She knows those are things that her daughter has learned in Journey.
My favorite part of the conversation was when I asked if she thought her daughter would have a preference of who in the ministry talked to her about baptism. The mom said that her daughter really liked the computer teachers and felt close to them because they used to be her shepherds. Gene and Cynthia Talley were her shepherds in second grade. How awesome that she still feels connected with them! Cynthia will have the privilige this Sunday of talking to her about her decision. The Talley's do a great job in getting to know the kids and connecting with them. Good work!
