Have a few pictures (the last ones --I think—from 2024) which are just some fun ones about our students. Please see below.Also, wanted to promote a movie, which has been in theaters the past couple months and is now on pay for view. (The Heckmann's saw it in both venues). The Director is the creator of "The Chosen". It is a remake and improvement of a 1983 movie made for TV starring "MASH's" Loretta Swit."The Best CHRISTmas Pageant Ever" is a wonderful, funny, uplifting movie which is worth the price of admission/rental on those facts alone. However, I urge you to see it because of the powerful message it has for both those who serve at and support The Way and for those Christians who "just don't get it". For those of us who do understand, it should be an affirmation and encouragement from GOD as to why we serve --because "JESUS also was born for the Herdman's", (the best line of the movie). The Herdman's were 5 children/siblings, with little if any parental guidance, reputations as "bad kids", not popular, unkempt, no understanding/knowledge of CHRIST's love or Biblical teachings, and looked down upon by the community and, sadly, Church goers. The Herdman's came to Church for "treats" but found something infinitesimally more valuable --- "The true meaning of The CHRISTmas story" in a way far too many Christians do not. ...

PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS MINISTRY AT THE WAY!!!!! HE HAS EXCEEDED OUR MOST WONDERFUL DREAMS AND EXPECTATIONS!!! When the LORD opened the doors of an old, long vacated storefront in May 2011, none of us ever imagined what GOD would do. We just knew GOD wanted a safe and productive place where students could go after school to experience the love of CHRIST in word and deed.Flash forward less than 14 years ---- thanks to the obedience of so many of you and the kindness of hundreds of Trigg County Christians GOD has accomplished so much-----a 12,000 square foot facility' soon a 3,500 SF Discipleship/Education building', a Youth Clothes Closet', two faith based scouting programs; over 100 Christian and secular training classes; mentoring program, Senior Citizen ministry; etc. and hosting a medical school, adult education program, school events, Special Olympics basketball, Chamber of Commerce job fairs, etc. Best of all more than 175 people have made professions of faith in CHRIST!!!!We are especially proud of the two-faith based scouting programs, American Heritage Girls and Trail Life USA Boys. In just a little over 3 years, they have gone from formation to viable growing programs with over 40 students enrolled and some absolutely fantastic leaders such as Dana Dodson, Diane Duggins, Sandy Finley, Katie Sumner, Diane Duggins, Julie Wadlington, Lance Gilliland, Josh Pryor, Justin Ramey, Matt Clark, Gene Oller, etc. etc. A special thanks to Christi Riggs and Lloyd Renfroe for their dedication and vision to help start these programs.Please see below pictures from the Cadiz CHRISTmas Parade. I don't know the judging criteria for parade floats, but if it were the character and spirit of its participants, this float/group would be second to none!!!! A special thanks to Sister Katie Sumner, AHG Chaplain, for doing such a great job creating the banner used in this year's Parade.Thanks to all of you for allowing the LORD to use you to bring honor and Glory to HIM!!! ...

We are so grateful to those who sacrifice their time and resources to provide these meals. We know GOD will bless your efforts. Isaiah 58:10 "If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."Please see the below list of our food providers. Also, please see the attached pictures of just a few of the Churches whose members stay and help serve food and often play games and/or build relationships with students. I apologize for Church pictures which are not included. Some days it is difficult to adequately express appreciation to even most valuable of players (MVPs) when there is only 30 seconds left on the clock and 90 yards to reach the end zone. (Sorry, I have better analogies, but hope you get the idea 🙂). May GOD bless each of you with a joyous and prosperous 2025 which brings glory to HIM.Cadiz Baptist Cadiz Church of ChristCadiz MethodistCalvary Missionary BaptistCanton Baptist Caldwell Blue Springs BaptistDelmont Baptist Donaldson Creek BaptistEast Cadiz BaptistEdgewood BaptistHancock's Neighborhood MarketKentucky Machine and EngineeringLiberty Point BaptistLinton MethodistLion's ClubLocust Grove BaptistMaple Grove BaptistMt.

Sisters and Brothers in CHRIST,Praise the LORD for a very successful "Mrs. Santa's Cookie and Candy Bazaar" fund raiser!!!! The LORD gave us over $4700 in net revenue. It was financially our best bazaar ever. Proceeds went towards completing funding for the new Discipleship/Education Building currently under construction and scheduled for completion in the spring of 2025.. Praise the LORD even more for what the event has come to mean to our community. Mrs. Santa's Cookie and Candy Bazaar is much more than a fund raiser. The Bazaar has become an event that people look forward to each year as an integral part of CHRISTmas parade day downtown. It never ceases to amaze us how people talk about it year long.The Bazaar is an opportunity for some of Trigg County's best bakers to bring their finest goods, not only to help raise money for youth ministry, but as a sacrificial offering to GOD. This year for the first time, several parents of students at The Way donated baked goods as a way of giving something back to a ministry that provides their youth a free safe and secure place to go after school for fun, food, education, and worship. Several students volunteered their time developing their customer service skills by performing various tasks throughout the dayThe Bazaar in an inexpensive way for Trigg Countians (and others) to purchase from arguably the widest variety of baked goods (cookies, candies, bread, cakes, etc.) at a price that often doesn't cover the ingredients. The Bazaar gives children a chance to spend extra time with Santa, who may not look as realistic as the Parade Santa, but almost guarantees a successful "photo op".Last, but certainly not least, the Bazaar pulls together Christians, from almost all denominations, to enjoy fellowship and work together for the common cause of sharing the love of CHRIST, in word and deed with all those who enter the Cadiz Baptist Annex. There are so many to thank for the success of the 10th Mrs. Santa's Cookie and Candy Bazaar. Thanks to Cadiz Baptist Church for allowing The Way to use it's facility pro bono each year. It is one of the many ways Cadiz Baptist has blessed The Way since the LORD opened HIS Youth Ministry in May of 2011.Thanks to Martha Davis and Judy Terrell (the first "Mrs. Santa") for starting the Bazaar. There were so many cookies left and they orchestrated efforts to distribute them in Cadiz to first responders, senior adult care facilities, hospital staff, etc. Thanks to Marsha Petro who has managed the event for the past several years and to those who have assisted her over the years i.e. Rosalee Gutmann, Amanda Oliver, Betty Kilman and others; especially Kathy Gibson who was nothing short of amazing this year!!! Marsha has done a tremendous job of not only organizing the event, but getting The Way students involved, from making cookies to volunteering the day of the bazaar. Thank you so much Marsha and Kathy.Thanks most of all for the love and support of Trigg County Churches who have honored GOD to make the event a success ---in all respects.Below are a few of the many highlight's of the 2024 "Mrs. Santa's Cookie and Candy Bazaar".Thanks so much to Sister Marsha for her help with this correspondence. ...

The Way is so honored to allow Lighthouse Medical School to use our facility two nights per week.Lighthouse is more than a medical school for Doctor(s) Cook ---Marie (MD) and Eric (Chaplaincy). It is a Ministry!!!! Thanks to their kindness, with a little "rent free" help from The Way, Lighthouse charges only a fraction of what other schools do. This has allowed many students to graduate and find jobs, obtain promotions, or often both.Lighthouse Medical School not only trains students but facilitates and proctors testing and helps students find internships and jobs which are life changing to them and their families. Very importantly, they also share the love of CHRIST in word and deed with each student.Since 2018, Lighthouse has graduated 85 students from their medical training program at The Way -----70 Medical Assistants, 2 EKG Technicians, 5 Phlebotomy Technicians, 1 Medical Biller, and 7 Pre Med-Technicians. Ten of these graduates are single mothers. Pictured Below are their most recent Medical Assistant graduates after receiving certifications for Phlebotomy. L-R Susannah Akana, Jacquelyn Stewart, Elizabeth Russell, Aleisia Losoya, and Heather Collins.. Thank you, Sister Marie and Bro. Eric, for sharing our SAVIOR and your most valuable earthly resources (your time) to make a difference in the lives of your students and those they bless with what they have learned. We praise the LORD for you and Lighthouse!!! ... See MoreSee Less
