Are you struggling to get your middle school ministry classes going? Are you or your volunteers stressing over developing lessons each week?

Our theme verse is 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, \u201cI planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.<\/em>\u201d As we reflect back on what God has done to grow the impact of our project, we continue to be amazed. Since our humble start last summer, and our\u00a0first article<\/a>\u00a0in January, we have grown to a user base of over 200 people in over 100 churches across 19 countries. God is truly taking our work and making it grow in the most amazing ways!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
