Kingsley Village Apartment Complex
Kingsley
Village was our first mission work in west Atlanta. We
began with the summer program in June 2004. We are
actively involved in the afterschool program at Kingsley
Village. We help the children with their homework, play
games, do crafts, sing songs and learn about Jesus and
the Bible. Over the next several months, we will be
discussing honor. At the Kids Honor Club, we will learn
how God wants us to treat others with honor. Our theme
verse will be, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or
vain conceit, but in humility consider others better
than yourselves." Phillippians 2:3.
Over the
last five years, there have been several different
managers and owners at Kingsley Village but God has
always blessed us with management open to our continued
work there (except for a brief four month period). We
have hosted several special events each year such as
Happy Birthday Jesus parties, Valentine's Day Parties,
Easter Egg Hunts, etc. We have also conducted a ladies
on-site Bible study and will be starting an on-site
parenting class soon. Several of the Kingsley children
ride the van to church with us.. Several have actually
moved to nearby neighborhoods but are still able to ride
to church with us. On alternating months, we host a boys
or girls night out. Before Wednesday evening church, I
take them out for a fast food supper. The kids always
love this and it is a great way to connect and talk
about what is going on with them in school, etc.

hanging out with kids at Kingsley Village and sharing
Christ's love with their community. |
