Courage to trust God. Grace to forgive others. Our Arise students explored both this week as they spent time in God’s Word together!

Our middle school students learned about the twelve spies in Numbers 13 and 14 and how fear can keep us from trusting and obeying God. They were encouraged to remember His faithfulness when facing difficult choices. Because Jesus has overcome the world, we can follow Him with courage!

For our high school students, the focus was grace. They discussed how Jesus’ love and forgiveness make us new and help us extend forgiveness to others. One reminder to carry with them: our past does not define us. Our identity is found in Christ.

These conversations are a meaningful part of our time after school, helping students connect what they’re learning about God with the choices and challenges they face each day.

We love seeing our local students get creative while making a difference in their community!

Students at Wright Elementary created their very own commercial to promote their school's Coin War fundraiser benefiting the Father’s Love Backpack Program!

Every donation helps provide weekend food support for students throughout Shelby County who face food insecurity.

What a great reminder that we can make a difference when we all work together! A big thank you to the students, teachers, families, and staff at Wright Elementary for coming together to support this important program. We love seeing kids helping kids, and we think they did a fantastic job with their commercial!

Check it out!

What's better than ending a Dreamers day with cake? Tonight, we celebrated our October birthdays with a special treat after dinner!

During Bible time, we continued learning about how Jesus taught us to pray, spent time playing and laughing with friends, and tackled new lessons during Academy.

Some days are full of big moments, and others are made up of the simple things. Learning together, building friendships, sharing a meal, and celebrating each other are all part of what makes Dreamers such a special place for our kids.

Another great afternoon with our Dreamers!

Today, our students learned about the Lord’s Prayer and how Jesus taught us to talk to God. We spent time discussing the importance of prayer and knowing that we can come to Him with anything.

The kids worked hard during Academy time, enjoyed playing games with friends during free time, and wrapped up the evening sharing a meal together.

We love seeing our Dreamers grow in their faith, build friendships, and learn something new each time we're together!

Yesterday at Dreamers, we learned about what it means to love others, even when it's difficult.

During Bible time, we talked about how Jesus calls us to love our enemies and how He gave us the ultimate example of love by dying on the cross for our sins. It's a powerful reminder that His love isn't something we earn, but something He freely gives, and we're called to share that same love with others.

Our students also spent time learning and growing during Academy, enjoyed some fun and games with friends, and ended the evening gathered around the table for dinner together.

We love these opportunities to help our Dreamers grow in their faith, build friendships, and learn lessons that go far beyond the classroom!

We're back, and it feels good to have our Dreamers together again after fall break!

Today was full of hands-on learning and fun as our students jumped into enrichment classes, including cooking, fitness, service, crafts, and more!

Our young chefs were busy in the kitchen learning how to make chicken alfredo and vegetable beef soup. Meanwhile, our service crew picked up some valuable life skills, learning how to check a car's oil, tire pressure, lights, and windshield wipers.

We love seeing our kids try new things, build confidence, and discover skills they can use beyond the classroom. And what better way to wrap up our first day back than with pizza for dinner!

It's good to be back, Dreamers!

We are so thankful for Mary Clark and her dedicated team of volunteers from First Christian Church Shelbyville - Disciples of Christ -

For quite some time, this faithful group has been giving their Sundays to serve children and families in Shelby County through our Backpack Program. With around 15 volunteers, they work together to pack bags of food that help provide weekend meals for local students.

Recently, they’ve even welcomed youth volunteers to join in, making it an opportunity for the next generation to learn the importance of serving others!

Mary and team, thank you for your continued commitment, generosity, and willingness to serve. Your faithfulness makes a real difference for the children and families we serve, and we are so grateful to have you as part of the Father’s Love family!

Fall break fun with our Arise high school students!
Today we spent the afternoon at Topgolf enjoying some friendly competition, lots of laughs, and time together outside of our regular programming!

We also spent time talking about perspective and what it means to see the world through God's lens. The world around us, our culture, traditions, and even our peers can shape how we think things should be. But how often do we stop and ask, "What does God say is true?"

God's ways don't always line up with what the world tells us, and that's okay! We encouraged our students to look beyond what they've always heard or been taught and learn to see life through God's truth.

We're grateful for days like today when we get to have fun, build relationships, and have meaningful conversations that help our students grow in their faith.

We are so grateful to voestalpine Roll Forming Corporation and their employees for supporting our Backpack Program through their annual food drive.

Their recent TogetherWeCare Pancake Breakfast raised an incredible $1,822 to help provide weekend food support for local kids. Generosity like this helps us continue making sure students throughout Shelby County have food to take home when school meals are not available.
Thank you, voestalpine, for showing up for kids in our community and helping us care for our neighbors. We are grateful for your partnership and generosity.

Today at Dreamers, we learned about the man who couldn’t walk and the friends who cared about him so much that they lowered him through a roof to get him to Jesus.

But before Jesus healed the man’s body, He did something even greater. He forgave his sins. Our Dreamers learned that Jesus cares about our needs, but our greatest need is the forgiveness and new life only He can give.

Along with a great Bible time, our kids worked hard during Academy, spent time connecting in their one to one groups, had plenty of fun together, and ended the day around the table with a meal prepared by our amazing volunteers.

We’re grateful for days like these where our kids can learn, grow, build relationships, and know just how deeply they are loved.
