Kidology to Go in Wichita, KS

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

One of the exciting things about traveling around the continent is that I will be meeting up with people I haven’t seen in a super long time. Our third Kidology to Go will be just that!

Asbury Church

Asbury Church - Central Campus

On Saturday, November 20th Asbury Church in Wichita, Kansas will be hosting a Kidology to Go. Asbury has four campuses, and their Central Campus Children’s Pastor Jerred Haydock will spearhead this event for us. The event will also take place at their central campus at 2801 West 15th Street, Wichita, KS 67203. Pastor Jerred has a very active and exciting ministry at Asbury called Blast Kid’s Ministry, where their mission is To see every child grow up the same way Jesus did “in wisdom stature, and favor with God and man.”

Pastor Jerred

Asbury holds a special place for me because I once served as Children’s Pastor there a decade ago. Many of the people we knew at Asbury are still there serving and growing in Jesus, including their senior pastor Dennis Wallace and his wife Ladonna.  Wichita is a great city but has gone through a lot since 9/11 because it’s economy is closely tied to the airline industry. I look forward to coming back to this tremendous church and city to bring some training, inspiration and fun!! Register online if you live in Kansas or Oklahoma or even Texas!

Kidology to Go – Gardner, Kansas

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

UPDATE 10/10 – This Kidology To Go location has been canceled due to scheduling difficulties.  We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to explore the Witchta, KS event on 11/20.


We are excited to announce our 2nd Kidology to Go in Gardner, Kansas on Saturday, November 13th. Our host will be Robbie Conrad, children’s pastor at New Life Community Church in Gardner.

Robbie is leader of a tremendous children’s ministry, Kidz World, at his church. Kidz World has six values they use to guide the direction of their ministry.

Value 1: Kidz World will partner with parents in reaching children for Jesus.
Value 2: Kidz World will be child-targeted (I Corinthians 9:22).
Value 3: Kidz World’s teaching will be relevant, creative and application-oriented (Psalm 119:11).
Value 4: Kidz World will intentional shepherd children through small groups.
Value 5: Kidz World will be safe.
Value 6: Kidz World will be fun.

Gardner is a suburb of Kansas City, so if you are from Missouri, Nebraska or eastern Kansas, make every effort to come out to this great training opportunity that will not come around again!

Big Logo

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Friday we had the big, huge, Kidology to Go logo put on the side of Howard the RV. It is huge, and very colorful! You can definitely notice it driving down the interstate or parked in the Walmart parking lot.

A couple of people have asked me how I feel about our good looking RV plastered with the logo on the side of it. To be perfectly honest I love it! I love that we can promote such an amazing ministry like Kidology everywhere we go. I love it that it will spark conversation and interest in campgrounds all across the continent. I love it that my sons can see we are part of something bigger than just traveling the country, that we are ambassadors for Kidology – and bigger than that for Christ!

So I am pumped to see this colorful logo every time I go out to Howard to load something up (or I look out the window of our temporary home). It reminds me that God is in control of this caravan and we are along for the ride!!
