Happy Independence Day from WORLDkids!

Our staff is enjoying a day off today to remember the great blessing of the freedoms we have in the United States of America. But even more, we’re reflecting on the greatest freedom of all: Freedom from the sin that held us in bondage to our own wills and kept us from deep relationship with our loving, gracious, and merciful God.

Let those who fear the Lord say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me free.
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. — Psalm 118:4-6
