Lately we've been swamped with emails, phone calls, and letters from parents, schools, and churches to do anti-bullying workshops.
The need to stop bullying and get help is huge.
Last week we did three workshops. We did a back to back entire youth presentation for 7th-12th and then K-6th for the younger students. Wow! Great time! But it hit a nerve in my heart when I heard that even a 2nd grader who had been terribly bullied said, "I want to kill myself."
I had been contemplating if the younger kids should really hear our "bullycide" story about my son, Jeremiah. But I felt led to share it, and now I'm so glad I did.
We never know who might be feeling ready to end their life because they just can't take it anymore. Our workshops can literally save lives.
Another thing that I heard was that people were thankful that we addressed how we "help and love the bully" knowing it's not a person, bullying is an action, and anyone can change, but first we must BE THE CHANGE they can see.
Little kids even came up and said it was a great time. So thankful that we can have fun, play games, and interact with the kids and teens--that's so important.
We don't just tell them a bunch of stuff, we have lived abuse and we have healed from it.
We don't simply put a band-aid on bully, we help others heal in a fun, safe way.
So if you're in need of an antibullying presentation for your school, church, or community--give us a call!
Together we can change hearts and save lives!
