“I love watching these kids grow emotionally and spiritually throughout the years. By the time they ‘graduate’ from preschool, they know basic biblical truths. But my favorite part is when a kid is being dropped off, they see me and immediately light up and say, ‘Mr. Jake! Mr. Jake!’ I know that I get to play no small role in each of these kids’ lives, helping them fall in love with church and meet the real Jesus.”
