Beach Patrol Mobilizers Making a Difference!

Feb 27 6:40 AM
Feb 27 6:40 AM

Here at KiDs Beach Club® (KBC), we have an incredible group of volunteers that we call our Beach Patrol. ICYMI, Beach Patrol is what we call our volunteers OUTSIDE of Club. Included in our Beach Patrol is a top-notch team of Prayer Warriors, Event Planners, Photographers, and Story-Tellers. All of these roles help the ministry and fill the gaps where needed. But there's another group of volunteers not mentioned above, and that's our Beach Patrol Mobilizers!

What's a Mobilizer, you ask? Well, a Beach Patrol Mobilizer is a volunteer who is committed to being the "boots on the ground" for KBC in their local area, representing KBC by talking with churches and pastors, introducing them to the Beach Club® concept, and then speaking / training on behalf of KBC wherever the doors open. We currently have seven individuals actively serving as Mobilizers, all in either Texas or Florida, our two states with the most Beach Clubs®, and we have one more coming on board to serve in Illinois. Learn more about KBC Mobilizer Brian Broussard below, and be sure to keep reading to learn more about Beach Patrol and our other mobilizers!

Brian's Story...

Meet KBC Mobilizer Brian Broussard. Brian first heard about KiDs Beach Club® when his local church (First Baptist Church, Dover, Florida) was reporting on all that God was doing through their Beach Club® at Bailey Elementary School. After talking with his pastor, Brian not only knew he wanted to be involved, but he felt called to be used as a catalyst for starting new Beach Clubs® in his community.

With a self-compiled list of churches / people to contact, Brian knew he had to be better equipped about sharing KBC with others, so he reached out to our Mobilization Coordinator Tina Kimbro for some tips. Little did he know we actually had this thing called "Beach Patrol" that fit him like a glove!

Before even completing the application for Beach Patrol, Brian started meeting with pastors on his list. He scheduled his first meeting with Pastor Pete, and earlier this month, Pastor Pete's church launched their very first Beach Club®! They've been meeting only a few weeks and already have 22 children attending and 10 volunteers serving, all because one man followed the Lord's prompting and took action!

Brian has a list of churches still to contact, too. It's his desire is to find church partners to sponsor Beach Clubs® in every elementary school in Polk County, Florida! He ends every conversation with "LET'S GOOOOOOOO!"

But wait...there's more!

You see, Brian is not the only Beach Patrol Mobilizer God has brought to us! There's Amanda Watkins from Brian's home church. She is actively working as a volunteer promoter and trainer in Hillsborough Country, Florida, along with Pat Koritta from Plant City, Florida, who is volunteering as a trainer. Then there's Rachel (Marsha) Constine in Dunedin (Pinellas County) Florida who is volunteering at events and promoting KBC. Also in Florida is Melissa Schubeck, promoting and training for KBC in the Pensacola (Escambia County) Florida area.

In Texas, we have Aubrey Eudy, from Mesquite Church of Christ in Mesquite, Texas. For years, Aubrey has been singing the praises of KiDs Beach Club® at events, long before we had a formal Beach Patrol. Now he's "an official" Beach Patrol Mobilizer! Then there's Gene Parks, who has recently been influential in starting a new Club at her home church of First Baptist Watauga at Grace Hardeman Elementary School.

From Texas to Florida, and then up north to Illiniois! It's there that you'll find the Beach Patrol "Lone Ranger" Christiana Allen-Thompson. She's been trained to promote KBC, and hopefully soon will begin her boots-on-the-ground journey and add another state to our KBC map of Beach Clubs®.

Why do we take the time to tell stories like Brian and the other Mobilizers? It's because KiDs Beach Club® does not exist without a dedicated team of volunteers in Club and outside of Club!

What is God asking you to do?

Maybe you're not someone who can volunteer as a mobilizer and help spread the word about KBC. We get it! Not everyone can be a bold Brian Broussard! But maybe God is asking you to do SOMETHING with Beach Patrol! The best place to start is by joining our Beach Patrol prayer team, led by our Volunteers Director Steve Brines and our Beach Patrol Prayer Leader (and long-time KBC supporter) Ted Carsons. Click on the "Hey Steve" button for our Volunteers Director Steve to reach out to you. If you're ready to join the Beach Patrol, click on that button and complete the application. We can't wait for you to be on the team!

IRAN ALIVE MINISTRIES HONORED WITH PRESTIGIOUS AWARD

Feb 26 10:41 PM
Feb 26 10:41 PM

Last week, several KBC staff members attended and exhibited at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention in Nashville, Tenn. We'll have some updates for you soon on the exciting things that took place during the event, but this announcement cannot wait!

Last week, the NRB presented KiDs Beach Club® partner Iran Alive Ministries (IAM) with a 2024 Special Service and Media Award for International Impact! We are beyond excited for them, and we are also humbled that God would allow us the privilege to be part of that international impact.

TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK ABOUT GOD'S PROVIDENCE!

Last year at the NRB Convention, KBC met and eventually began a partnership with Iran Alive Ministries. Over the next year, we would raise funds to dub all 55 episodes of our award-winning television show KiDs Beach Club® TV into Farsi, the native tongue of most Iranians as well as other nearby Middle Eastern countries.

As you know from our last Surf Report, our generous donors have now fully funded the Farsi project, with Season Three already airing three times each week in Iran. By God's grace, He allowed KBC to form a partnership with an organization that would win this prestigious award the very next year at the NRB Convention!

We praise God once again for this partnership, and for the work that Iran Alive is doing to reach those who have never heard the name of Jesus. We believe this award also reflects the quality of the partnerships God has allowed us to have. Congratulations, Iran Alive, for this great award!

GOD IS USING KBC IN MEXICO!

Feb 26 9:41 PM
Feb 26 9:41 PM


Last year, KBC began partnering with IDEAS to give kids in Mexico a Jesus experience. IDEAS is an organization committed to meeting needs in underprivileged communities in Mexico and offering Hope in Christ. Not once, but twice a week, IDEAS is using KBC curriculum in an after-school Bible Club setting at Vida International Church in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. They have about 30 kids attending, mostly from broken homes with limited financial resources. Praise God with us for the open doors for KBC in Mexico and for the lives changed as a result of hearing the Gospel message!

Take the KBC GEM Challenge

Feb 26 8:41 PM
Feb 26 8:41 PM

Have you ever made a recipe that calls for "packed brown sugar"? Why do you think it tells you to pack it down? The answer is obvious - so you can get out all the air pockets and get every little granule of sugar that the recipe calls to use.

Now think about that in terms of Luke 6:38. The Bible says, "Give, and it will come back to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over." When we give with open hands and the right heart attitude, God promises to return it to us in abundance. Will He always return it to us monetarily? No, but He will return it to us in blessings overflowing, with no air pockets taking up the space where sweet sugar-filled blessings should be!

We currently have 74 families who give regularly as KBC GEMs, and we're boldly asking God to multiply that number!
