"Wait there Mary, I've got something for you!"

Yesterday, Mary arrived at one of Groundbreakers' regular Stockport schools for their first lunch club this half term.

Groundbreakers offer a six week block of lunch clubs, once a year, covering all sorts of themes

They had a great time getting to know each other and playing games.

As Mary was packing away a little boy said, "Wait there Mary, I've got something for you!" With that he disappeared from the classroom for a few minutes, reappearing with two laminated sheets made up of quotes and saying of Jesus.

When Mary thanked him and asked him which church he went to, he replied, "I don't go to church, I just found these on the internet!"

How thrilling that in preparation for the lunch club he had taken the initiative to find out more about what Jesus says!

Please pray for the work of Groundbreakers as they impact the lives of thousands of children every half-term with their assemblies and lunch clubs.

If you would like Groundbreakers to come into a school linked with your church contact Mary by email using Groundbreakers@ntlworld.com
