About 40 middle schoolers embraced Christ as their Savior at that concert. Shawn was excited, but he knew that with his young family and full-time ministry, he didn't have much time to help these kids grow in their faith. Then along came Paula. And they need Christ. Here in the Midwest, it's supposed to be Mom, apple pie and Chevrolet, but it's not.
Kids here struggle with the same stuff other kids do, like drinking and drugs.
To teach these students about the Christian life, Paula and Shawn started some Bible studies, but they've had a hard time keeping them going. Many of the kids are involved in sports, and that limits their time. They can't get themselves anywhere, so I'm doing Bible study and then driving 50 miles to take them all home, because they live out in the country. Fear is another hindrance. This approach seems to be working.
