Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with

music and song. For the LORD is the great God,

the great King above all gods.

Psalm 95:2-3 (NIV)

As we move into another holiday season, we have SO MUCH to

be thankful for in WyandotCARES and in our communities!

God has blessed us with such faithful and talented teachers and

volunteers. Our students are amazing and so eager to learn. Our

devoted prayer warriors, donors, and friends have helped

WyandotCARES grow and reach out to students in so many ways.

God is glorified in ALL of the WyandotCARES classes. One fifth

grade student had this to say, “Before I came to Religious Ed I

questioned if God is real. But now I have no question.”

WyandotCARES students are influencing their circle of friends and

their families. They are encouraging their parents and

grandparents to go to church and learn more about Jesus.

We are so grateful for your love and support of the youth in

Wyandot County and we are so thankful that God has given us

(and YOU) the opportunity to share His Word with the students in

our communities!

Did you KNOW?

There are

401 students attending

WyandotCARES classes this year!

In 2016, the Lord began leading my wife and I to adopt from China. We

felt this was crazy, since we already had 5 kids. However, when the

Lord calls, you follow. Thus, began our nearly 3-year journey of

paperwork, fundraising, and chasing after what at times felt would

never really happen. Well on May 1st, my wife wrote a letter to our

adoption agency sharing our story once again. Then to our great

excitement on May 2nd

, we were notified that we had been matched

with a little girl. We still had a lot to do with prep, funds being raised,

and getting our schedule open for a nearly 3-week trip to China. Praise

the Lord everything came together and nearly 40% of the funds needed

came in the last month before we headed to China in late July. Our

time in China was crazy with stops in 3 major cities all bigger then NYC,

but through it all we had an incredible peace knowing this was God’s

perfect plan for our family. On August 9th, we returned home with our

precious Selah Mei. Our family will never be the same and we finally

feel our family is complete - at least until God leads us on the next

adventure. We just want to challenge you to listen to God’s call that He

lays on your heart, trust Him, and follow. The adventures from God are

truly the most rewarding. Lastly, if you could keep Selah in your pray-

ers as she has a few surgeries ahead of her.

Did you KNOW?

It costs an average of

$84 per student.

WyandotCARES is totally funded

by private donations.

Every year WyandotCARES puts together information about the

Churches in Wyandot County—service times, youth groups, and

children’s programs. We make the information available to not

only WyandotCARES students and parents, but to anyone who

is searching for a Church home in Wyandot County.

To view the information or share it with family and friends,

please visit us on Facebook or on our website!

Students get to practice what they are taught!

They get the opportunity to pray for their families, friends, and other situations that concern them.

God is able to do far more than we could ever ask for or imagine. He does everything by his power

that is working in us.
