Lost in Translation Parent Cue (Week 3)

This blog is your cue.  Every Wednesday we’ll post a “Parent Cue” which will tune you in to what we are talking about at theEDGE and cue you in on some steps you can take to lead your student into taking their next steps.  

Week Three:  Micah 6:8 Review

Almost two months ago, we studied Micah 6:8 and as a result we began raising money to buy soccer balls to send to Africa.  This became our Micah 6:8 Challenge (read more here).  Over the course of two weeks we raised almost $900.  Then we purchased soccer balls and sent them with Maddy, one of our 8th Graders (pictured center).  This week Maddie is going to share with us her experience in Ghana, and what our sacrifice meant for the kids there.  Here are a couple pictures from Maddy's trip.

Parent Cue

This week dialogue with your student about the following questions.

1. What is one sacrifice you've made that made a difference in someone's life?

2. What is one experience that you'll never forget and how did it change your life?

3.  Who is one person that you've met that you'll never forget and how did they change your life?

 

This exercise is meant for you and your child to share together not just for you to ask your child.  This may not come naturally or easily, but as you stumble through it together, keep in mind that your vulnerability is one of the most effective tools in furthering your child’s personal spiritual journey.
