I hope you find this E4 Encouaging and insightful. Here at Empowering Kids we want to do the best we can to make you successful in your ministry to children. Ia m excited about our new format for E4 and if there is anything we can do to make your life easier and more impactful in your ministry to kids, please, drop us a line. We want to provide the best resounces possible as well as support your life in and out of ministry. I know from experience that ministry can be and will continue to be tough. We have created a leadership Gathering called LIQUID that will hopefully encourage you should you attend one of our regional gatherings.

If you have a topic or an idea you would like us to cover or broadcast to the great children's ministry culture, please send me an email and let me know. I pray that God gives you a great week and that your ministry is fruitful.

God Bless,
Craig
