"Don't push these children away.  Don't ever  get between them and me.   These children are at the  very center of life in the Kingdom."  -Mark 10:14-15  The Message  Praise: After a week of painting and working on the apartment, we had our first ministry opportunity!   We were invited to a church about two hours away to lead a training for teaching children the Word of God!
