Churches Together for Kids celebrates 10 years 6/28/2009 10:50 PM
Submitted article July 1, 1999, was a gathering of 11 people who heard the call of God and wanted to reach out to the children and youth of our community.
A group of people who wanted to make a difference, to bring a great hope to the children and youth and demonstrate the love of God.
On that night, Churches Together for Kids (CTFK) began - Christians coming together for local children and youth.
Within a few weeks, 13 churches wanted to be a part of the vision of Christians coming together for the children and youth.
It started with collecting and passing out starter school supplies and hosting a nationally known speaker to speak in the Wagener schools and at a purity rally. The doors of ministry had been opened, and the vision was exploding before organizer eyes.
God has blessed the group with many ministry areas. He has blessed the community with very caring, loving and giving people and has opened hearts of churches, individuals and businesses.
Ten years later, the call is even greater, the mission clearer and hearts just as willing and caring. God continues to use CTFK to touch lives not just in the community but across the county, state and nation.
The organization has been blessed to bring into its community many men and women of God from Pam Stenzel, the Power Team, The Main Event featuring "Sting" and the Million Dollar Man, Joy Explosion with T-Bone, and many great pastors to share with children and youth.
CTFK is thankful for all the volunteers, churches and businesses who have made the ministry possible. Through countless volunteer hours, much prayer and dedication, God's ministry celebrates its 10th anniversary. All praise to God for what He has done.
