Jr. High Ministry / ClubC3
Kristy Johnston
Belize is in Central America and smack dab in the middle of the rainforest! After a lot of prayer and confirmation through His Word and another mission trip to Belize (I also went in 2004), I’ve decided to accept the position of Children’s Supervisor at the Millhollon Children’s Home in Ontario Village, Belize.
There are 28 children in the home with ages ranging from 8-17 years old. I’ve already met some of the children this summer and their faces are already engraved on my heart!
It’s been such a blessing to be the Jr. High Director at CCC for the last five years. I’ve learned so much and have loved being apart of your child’s journey with Christ! I have so many treasured memories and pictures! I Know God has used these years to prepare me for such a calling as this and I want to thank all of my church family for the love and support that has encouraged me and deepened my faith. Clayton Community Church is where I accepted Christ, was baptized, served in many different ministries, met my closest friends, learned God’s Word and received so much healing from His amazing love!! I’ll always consider CCC my church home and all of you my family.
I fully trust that God will provide a Spirit led Jr. High Director to take this wonderful position and I hope you join me in praying for him or her and for a loving and joyful transition for everyone.
My last day on staff, was Sunday September 10th and I will be leaving for Belize sometime between the 1st and 2nd week of November.
Please feel free to email or call me with any questions or if you would like more information on where I’m going, you can check out the website:

Here is how you can be praying for me right now…

For the children in Belize and at CCC
-
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
I’ll miss you all very much and I’ll keep you in my prayers.
With love and joy,
Kristy xo

Our plans for Junior High Ministry…
In the meantime, we are very fortunate that Tobey Nichols, one of our current JH adult leaders, has accepted the position of Interim Director of JH Ministry. Tobey has a huge heart for our JH students and has served the ministry faithfully for the last couple of years. Tobey is extremely excited to serve in this new capacity this Fall while we look for a permanent person to fill the role.
Welcome, Tobey, we know God will use you in great ways to impact our JH’ers for his kingdom!
We will be putting a team together to work on finding a new Director of JH Ministry this Fall with the hope of having that person on board by January.
If you have any questions at all about the JH Ministry please feel free to call or email anytime. And please continue to pray for God to lead us through this new season in our JH ministry.
In Christ’s love,
