K – 2nd Grade Jr. Church Teachers
Shannon ReidMy name is Shannon Reid. Door-to-door soul winning is a great opportunity to share the gospel! Little did I know on March 4, 2001 after going door-to-door with Mrs. Dawn McNair that I would be the one to be saved! I was fighting with myself going that day to soul winning training because I am a major introvert. My husband, Aaron, signed us up for the class, but he ended up not going to that first day of training. I did not know very many in the church. During class, I realized I was lost and on my way to hell. In order to get married to Aaron back in 1996, the Pastor up in North Manchester, IN, said I need to be saved or he was not marrying us. I thought I understood salvation then, but I did not. Mrs. Dawn and I were talking and I told her everything. She parked the car at church and led me right to the Lord, right then and there. Back in the church, Pastor asked if we had good visits and if we saw anyone receive Christ. We said yes, and I raised my hand. What a day I will never forget! Ever since then, I have been serving the Lord and telling others about the gospel of Jesus Christ! I have a handsome, God-fearing husband and three beautiful kids! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Hello, I am Karen Downs. I first visited Lighthouse Baptist Church in the fall of 2004. It was then that I accepted the Lord as my Savior and got saved. In the spring of 2005, I was baptized and joined the church. Soon after, I felt led of the Lord to start serving Him in the church. I began serving in the nursery, choir, vacation bible school, Sunday school, and Kings Kids. One day I was asked if I would consider teaching the K-2nd Grade Jr Church and I gladly accepted the opportunity. I really enjoy seeing their curiosity! Just knowing the Lord is using me to teach these little children is amazing and so rewarding.
