📌 Episode Summary:

“If you want to catch beasts you don’t see every day,You have to go places quite out of the way.”— Dr. Seuss, The Lorax


In this first episode of our powerful 3-part roundtable series, we're joined by Kimberly, Alicia, Lindsey, and Whitney—four women who built thriving Sunday School routes from scratch. No bus. No blueprint. Just a burden.

They share their personal testimonies, how they came to truth, and how they were drawn into children's ministry—not by accident, but by divine appointment. Whether it was an invitation from a friend, a nudge from the Spirit, or a van full of cousins, their stories remind us that ministry doesn’t begin with a title—it begins with a yes.

💡 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • How each guest came to the Apostolic faith

  • The surprising ways God led them into route ministry

  • Why “just one kid” is worth the effort

  • The spiritual connection between calling and compassion

  • The beginnings of four powerful bus ministries
