• "That's a big thing for me - making it as real to them as possible in different ways, while mixing in the fun stuff." - Savana
• "For them to really see God through His Son and why He loved us enough to send Him to rescue us is a big deal." - Tami
• "Jesus is the light of the world. When we put these lights on our Christmas tree every year, we can remember He is the light of the world." - Tami
• "God's Word transforms us [...] I get the privilege to see my students take that in." - Tami
