WOW an amazing accomplishment for Mali Lillemon- a young lady sold out for Jesus and LifeWise!! She operated her yearly lemonade stand and brought in over 1000 dollars for Lifewise Tinora! Lifewise can’t operate with out funding from the community so we are eternally grateful for you!!!
From the mom (Sharon)
The cool thing about this lemonade stand is what I call “God’s math”. The first year she had a traditional lemonade stand at our garage sale and made $30/$40 around for herself.
The next year she was pumped about the LifeWise trip to the Ark and wanted to help raise money so just simply switching from her lemonade stand to raising money for LifeWise - she raised $300.
Now $1,182!

And now here we are 🥰 People get behind a kid who’s donating 🙂

Recently our teachers and director attended the LifeWise Summit in Dayton. It was inspiring to see so many schools represented and sharing the gospel with students!

A Job To Do (Older Students)
✦ Before class, write the names of various occupations (doctor, firefighter, etc.) on separate cards.
There should be one index card for every student. Tape an index card to each student’s forehead.
Players will take turns asking each other yes-or-no questions to figure out the job on their cards.
When everyone has figured out their jobs, say you have one more job for them to figure out. Give
the following descriptions and challenge them to guess the job:
✧ Go and make disciples of all nations.
✧ Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
✧ Teach them to observe everything Jesus commanded.
✦ Can anyone guess the job I described? It is follower of Jesus. Jesus told His followers that they had
a special job to do.
