Meet
theEDGE Leaders is an opportunity for you as parents to get to know
the other adults in your students lives. This week, meet Krina and Brittney,
two of our 8th grade girls small group leaders.
Hi! I'm Krina Fenske, I am a small group leader for the eighth
grade girls. I am married to my wonderful husband Randy, together we have two
teenage kids, Jonathan 15 and Emilee 13 (Yikes!). I enjoy doing things outdoors, and an afternoon nap.
I love serving at theEDGE and
seeing my children and your children growing up, not just physically but
spiritually as well. It's amazing to see the changes in them as they get
older, and speaking of getting older, I'm not a spring chicken
but the kids help keep me up to speed with their generation which helps me feel
younger! It's a great feeling when you're out in public, at school, the
park or the mall and one of the kids from theEDGE recognizes you with a big
hello and sometimes even a hug, Remember the Bible mentions many times that God loves children and we
adults need to be more like them, so we as adults need to start
spending more time loving them as well.
Hello All! My name is Brittney Ender, and I co-lead a small
group of 8th grade girls with Krina Fenske. I am a student at the technical
college in the chippewa valley. I am in process of switching my major from
nursing but God has not showed me what my next step is yet, so I am getting my
generals for nursing done right now. I am a CNA at Dove Health Care West. I
have gone to Eau Claire schools since I was in 1st grade when my mom and I
moved up here when she got married to now my dad. I have two brothers from my
dad. I have been going to Jacob's Well I think now for about 6 years! You may
also know me from Waterworks I am a TLC down there every weekend. So if you
want to meet me in person please feel free to come find me!
I love theEDGE because I love watching the kids
grow and get to know God more. I love being able to be someone I hope they can
look up to. I love the community theEDGE brings. I love working with kids and
it has become a passion to work with them for a long time. These kids are on
fire for God and I love that, even the ones just willing to learn it just makes
my heart smile. I love getting to know the kids and they have changed my life
by showing me what it is like to be a teenager again...aaahhh just kidding, but
they have helped me come to there level and put myself in there shoes, which is
much easier to lead these guys!
A story....Well on theEDGE retreat this last
weekend I got to have the privilege to go on, I had five girls in my room and
we had a lot of fun. What really got me was when we were doing our study part
of the retreat everyone was will to try something new and willing to actually
share their thoughts with me and the other girls. These girls were amazing, I
had some girls who never talk in small group that were non-stop talking and it
was awesome!! It truly made my heart smile. These middle school students are just amazing
and I am glad God let me be apart of this wonderful group!
Ask
your student who their small group leaders are and what they think of
them. Do you have any stories about how a small group leader has
impacted your child's life? Share it in the comment section below.
