The KRC & the Kiddos

If a person isn't familiar with the Kaufman Resource Center (or KRC for short), it is a special part of the synod that operates like a library, offering a treasure trove of books and resources to all who enter. It is a place for learning, growing, and even reflection. It is not only a place for rostered ministers to acquire curriculum, or lay congregation members to pick up Bible study materials, it is also a welcoming space for children to grow in their faith.

The KRC, like any well-rounded library, offers a continuously expanding children's section that includes a plethora of books and other resources designed to not only instruct children on their own faith, but also the faiths and beliefs of others, as it is important for children to celebrate diversity and inclusivity. In addition to faith-based resources, and resources that celebrate others, the KRC also offers resources that help children accept and learn to celebrate themselves. Books that teach children the importance of self-acceptance and self-esteem building are also included in the KRC.

As both the synod Resource Specialist and mom of two toddlers (both born during the COVID-19 Pandemic), Rebekah Wissler has been trying to make more children and teen resources available. She has also been working to include many other resources for parents like her, that want to share the Word of God with their kids or family as the world still adjusts to a post-pandemic life. The resources from the KRC have not only helped her teach and share the teachings of the Bible with her children, but they've also helped bring about a "return to normal" these past two years.

The resources from the KRC have empowered her to create a nurturing environment where her kids can thrive, learn, and develop a love of God. 
She encourages parents, pastors, and everyone to explore the KRC, take advantage of the resources available, and advocate for continued mission support funding, as the KRC relies on mission support dollars to maintain and enhance its services. She thanks everyone for the generosity that has helped this wonderful synod asset grow and thrive.
