I have been asked by my pastor to direct the youth choir as well as work with the teens on bible study. It is an honor to do that, however, I am new to this and didn't have a clue. I searched for days on the WWW how to do it, even start! I was getting down to the final two days before the first class. I asked God to help me because this is a service for Him. I want to glorify Him in this. He gave me this website. I can't explain how I found it. God found it. I find it is everything I needed and them some. Thank you. We are all a link in the chain of LIFE, Amen?
Because He Lives,
Kimberly
