"Takin it to the Street"


Yes, we are "takin it to the street." We are taking Good News Club flyers to the streets. Four school districts in our chapter do not allow flyers, for GNC or another outside group, to be distributed to students. This makes getting kids to come to our GNC after school more challenging.

Well recently, we went, on the advice of Liberty Council, went to the parking lot of a school at dismissal to pass out flyer to parents as they drive in to get their children. I must admit I went to do this with fear and trepidation. I was thinking, "Would we be allowed to do this? Will someone stop us? Will parents take these flyers?" We made plans to go, copies the flyers, and attached candy to each flyer. Then we were went to the school with two of our committee members. We prayed and then took it to the streets. I was amazed to see this working. Parents stopped and took the flyer. We ended up passing out over 50 flyers to parents in cars that day. I was watching in amazement at God working.

With the pressure of denial of distribution of flyers coming at us, we are meeting it head on and taking every possible opportunity to get the word out. So far we have done this at two schools. One school showed no results from this and the other showed a fantastic result of more kids attending a club. So, yes we are taking it to the street. We will be doing more of this in the future in an effort to get more children to hear God's Word and then give them the opportunity to receive Christ as Savior.
