“My prayer is that this program continues to grow across the generations as we spread heart prints throughout our
congregation, community, and the world.  Because of God’s love through our amazing young people, I have
great
hope for our future
.”  

Jodi Bischoff
Youth Administrator
Good Shepherd UMC, Richmond, VA
“When KWP initially started at FUMC, the children wanted to do an ‘extra’ project so that they too could have
something to take home.  However after a few weeks,
the children ‘got it’.  They were no longer asking for ‘extras’
for themselves but wanting to do more for others.  

Another
eye-opener for our children is that the curriculum led into discussions about how many families have to
choose between warmth and food, water and electricity, between warmth and medicine, food and medicine, or
between food and clothes.  This was a concept that our children had not realized even existed.  They actually sat
there with their mouths open and with tears in their sweet eyes.  
Without hesitation, I can say that our children
can not imagine coming home to a dark house or turning on the faucet and there not be running water.

"On behalf of the staff here at Loudoun Interfaith Relief, I would like to thank your organization for all of the food
that you have raised for our food pantry.  Your donations have enabled us to meet our
mission of conquering
hunger in our community
.  You are teaching the importance of giving and caring.  I believe that when we teach
receiving through your mission group. Every pound of food that you donate is distributed into the hands of a
hurting and hungry family
in Loudoun County.  We feed more than 3600 individuals every month, and that would
not be possible without the kindness and generosity of the “
Kids With Purpose” ministry, and others like yours."

Thank you for all that you do.

the name of Christ when they grow up….
look at what they are doing now!”

"Kids With Purpose is a powerful way to directly involve children in learning and living out our biblical mandate to
love and serve our neighbors."

Ann Davis

Virginia Conference, The United Methodist Church
“I didn't realize how spiritually fulfilling the program would be for me as a leader.  I assumed I was
just going to facilitate.  

But I immediately became aware that I --along with the children-- was receiving the blessing of doing
God's work in the community.  

It has opened my mind and heart to what I can do to make a difference to those in need."

“The projects in the Kids With Purpose Family Guide: Monthly Mission Activities are clear, concise and contain all
the steps and resources for parents or youth leaders to help children understand the issue and implement a
successful service project
. The Kids With Purpose program is perfect for faith based organizations who want to
engage families in volunteering."
