Review for Novo Ministries Inc, Oklahoma City, OK, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Novo Bible Clubs has reached deep into my heart these last 4 years. We have developed relationships with numerous children and their mothers. We have seen them grow and mature and show great eagerness to hear God's Truth weekly. They hear that God loves them and has good plans for them. I will tell of one young lady who was a part of an overnight stay at my house with activities such as Zumba, crafts and swimming at my girlfriend's home, a library visit, a trip to Marble Slab and Taco Bueno, and several meals at my house prepared by the kids themselves: grilling, setting the table and doing dishes! This young lady was so tired she fell asleep before dinner. She had waited up for her mom to come home from her boyfriend's home until 4:15am! She graduated from Bible Club and I saw her recently. With being left at home so much while her mom pursues relationships with other men, I was very concerned about her. She is doing great! She is studying to be a chef at Francis Tuttle. She is involved at church and making good decisions! I believe this is in part to NOVO! We were there for her for years. She learned to trust and obey God, that He is Holy and desires for us to be holy as well.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Add some sort of tutoring element. Some struggle so much with reading that they lose their attention so quickly. Reading the Bible together on another day other than Bible club. I have given some children the curriculum book so that the could read it slower and in depth. I have never gotten to do all I have intended to do in my small groups!
