One preteen can make a difference.

Meet Charlie Cooper, who at 9 years old was rejected and bullied at school.

He came up with an awesome idea to break through the loneliness and meet some new friends.

Not just for him, but his entire school. And when his story came out, his impact extended to other schools beyond his community.

Watch his 5 minute TEDx talk here:

Wow, such an amazing story!

He didn’t allow rejection, fear, or loneliness to overcome him.

Instead, he used those feelings as fuel to create a solution for himself and others in a similar situation.

The preteens in your ministry have the power to make a difference in their families, schools, communities and world!

Don’t ever forget that.

They need someone to say they can make a difference.

They need someone to give them the opportunity to make a difference.

They need someone to encourage and coach them in the process.

That someone is you.

How are you going to mobilize the preteens in your ministry to impact the community and the world?

    I couldn’t hardly watch it. I wanted to cry because of the way he was treated. I love the bench.
