Keeping Our Little Lambs Safe (KOLLS Traning)
Child Abuse and Neglect Awareness Training
Among God's greatest gifts to us are our children. We envy their zeal for life and childlike faith. Unfortunately, countless children are robbed of these most endearing qualities far too early in life. It is our responsibility as parents, teachers, pastors, and volunteers to protect and nuture them as they develop toward maturity. We would like to believe that Christian churches are immune to child abuse and neglect. Sadly, churches are not free of perpetrators and molesters. Therefore, we must be vigilant in Keeping Our Little Lambs Safe.

Across the USA, churches, radio stations, tv stations, and people like you are standing strong with our military, showing support and spreading God's Word to those in harm's way.
Through Faith Comes By Hearing's Military BibleStick project, our nation's troops are hearing the Word of God while on (or preparing for) deployment.
The Military BibleStick is a digital audio player that is pre-loaded with a dramatized recording of the entire New Testament.
Chaplains from every branch of the military are flooding Faith Comes By Hearing with requests. Over 210,000 of these Audio Bibles are now in the field. Over 1,029 chaplains use Military BibleSticks in pre-deployment briefings, counseling sessions, Bible studies, weekly chapels and other spiritual services.
About 3.5 inches long and less than an inch thick, these pocket-sized Audio Bibles are field-friendly with a low-key design which reduces visibility for use in low-light situations.
We will be collecting door offerings on Memorial Day weekend for these small MP3 players for soldiers. $25 will put one of these BibleSticks in the hands of a soldier who has requested one. If you would like to contriubute, please send donation to church office and with a note requesting your donation go to Military BibleStick. For more information on this ministry click here

"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.
If one person falls, the other can reach out and help.
But someone who falls alone is in real trouble."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
