Read the Inspiring Testimony of this Fellow Christian Leaders Institute Student
CLI Student Sam Atwell
"My name is Sam Atwell. I was born in Kansas City, KS and I now live in Olathe, KS. I live with my wife, Dawn, and we have been married for 30 years. We have three daughters and a son. Samantha and Amber are twins and they are both school teachers. My other daughter just graduated from college with her psychology degree. My son Kyle lives in Austin, TX and he is a graphic designer for a church app company and he is the drummer for the worship team at Planetshakers Austin.
I am a bi-vocational children's pastor at Hope Alive Church in Overland Park Kansas and I have been there for six years. I also work at a local television station in Kansas City.
I was raised in the church and have never really left. I was inspired to work with children by my children's church leader when I was a child. She devoted her life to working with kids and she left a lasting impression on my life. It was recently my honor to teach her great-grandchildren on Easter Sunday this year.
In my teen years, I began working with children ministries and took on a bus route. We brought in between 75 - 100 kids a week. Shortly after my marriage, my wife and I began working in children's ministry at several small churches over the next few years.
Over the 30 plus years that I have worked with kids, I have come to believe that church should be fun, exciting and engaging. Enabling children to create a dynamic and powerful relationship with Jesus through worship and the powerful word of God. Children will be equipped to grow in Christ through a fun and engaging atmosphere. I want them to know that they can trust God no matter what."
Please pray for Sam and his ministry!
