Many of you might remember Katie and her Nets for Kids campaign. It all started with an inspiring magazine article. She did a wonderful job raising money and awareness to help fight malaria. She started her own website and collected pledges.
TVO kids awarded Kate with a Super Citizen Award to recognize her efforts. This link will take you to her video accepting the award (Kate is third from the left, click on her picture for the video to begin), or you can watch it premier on television on TVO kids at 3:55 pm on Tuesday May 28th.
The airing of this award comes on the heels of Kevin and I attending a Teen Challenge graduation service. We had the privilege to meet the young man we spent the last year praying for, writing, and supporting as he completed a one year rehabilitation program for addictions. It was an amazing night that recognized God as our healer and restorer.
Our family believes that being a super citizen involves getting involved. Minding each others business. Cheering, supporting, encouraging and sometimes correcting each other – but always with an attitude of love.
Our Graduate and Kate reminded us afresh of what really matters in life. Living and giving to glorify God.
Philippians 3:20
New International Version (NIV) “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ”
Let’s all be super citizens, citizens of heaven doing the work of God.
That is sooo very cool! Congrats Katie! 135 nets is awesome!
Thanks Brittney. Everyday that the total climbed higher we were amazed. The entire project snowballed into something much bigger then we ever imagined and we give God all the glory!
Yay Katie, and an even bigger YAY to our big God for moving in Katie’s heart!!
We are amazed every day at how He moves in the hearts of our children. It’s wonderful to watch them grow in their trust and devotion to Him.
