My Nonprofit Reviews

At first, I didn't want to go to In The Gap. It was way out of my comfort zone, it was far from home (California), and it was quite the time commitment (about 3 months). But they worked with kids in the public elementary schools, and I had peace about that, so I went to their training program.

When I arrived, I was welcomed with love and acceptance by the staff. They cast the vison for laying a solid foundation of truth and character for the next generation; they taught me practical skills for children's ministry; they invested in me personally.

But In The Gap wasn't just about sitting in a classroom or doing assignments. You were expected to put that training to use! I and the other In The Gap students were able to go into the local public schools and teach character classes and after-school Bible Clubs.

I grew SO much in those three months.

I loved working with the children, I made life-long friendships with my fellow In The Gap students, and I grew leaps and bounds in my relationship with God. Lives were changed; I know mine was.

Now I get to be one of those staff members, welcoming new students and teaching them. I feel a responsibility to pass on the riches that I have been given. I am grateful for this ministry and how God is using it to reach people of all ages from all sorts of backgrounds and from all around the world!
