“Dr. Mike recently flew in to meet our think-tank and spent the entire weekend providing us his time, heart and valuable resources. He helped us to connect the dots in places that seemed hard, and he gave us encouragement and praise for what we had already done. “
“The ‘vision casting service’ on Sunday was absolutely anointed! It stirred our hearts to the core to get out of our pews and to reach out to at-risk youth. Thank you so much for all that you poured into us and for answering the call of God to help kids. We now look forward to the opening of our own KCA/Thrive Student Center of Marshall Michigan in the fall of 2010". Rhonda Borsheim, Director
"Holy Wow! Dr. Mike's passion is Contagious . Being able to ask him lots of questions was invaluable. Keep up the good work!" Matt Donahue
"I can recommend KidCare America and Dr. Mike Ferguson to you with great enthusiasm! The KidCare model gave us confidence that we could have an after school program that will, not only serve our community, but will give us an effective means of outreach. It's a quality program, yet they make it very accessible to just about any church. The KidCare model equips your organization to have an engaging program that will help build character in kids, not merely provide babysitting.
One significant part of the KidCare program is the training that they provide. We benefited greatly by the workshop that we had with Dr. Ferguson. The training covers all aspects of the program, including help with planning and preparation. It will challenge you to think through each phase of implementation. Furthermore, Dr. Mike will adapt it to your church's unique ministry context. While he was with us, he demonstrated a passion and commitment to equipping our church to get our center up and running. Furthermore, the support from KidCare America means a great deal to us. We appreciate having a knowledge partner who will provide guidance and is committed to the success of our program.
Along with this, Dr. Ferguson can help you to present the vision for a program to your congregation. He communicates the need for after school ministry with clarity and conviction. He did a superb job in presenting this ministry possibility to our church. He challenged our congregation while helping them to see how KidCare could provide a natural fit for our ministry.
If you are thinking about some kind of ministry for children after school, I would highly recommend that you talk to Dr. Mike Ferguson and KidCare America. His servant's heart, passion and commitment to after school ministry for kids will inspire you. His knowledge and expertise will instill confidence in you.
Sincerely,
Joseph Pastori Senior Pastor Bethel Assembly of God, Newark Presbyter, Northeast Section
