Community Service Inoculations

It is now the policy of The King’s Jubilee that we will not sign the community service forms of students other than regular volunteers with us.

I’ll Ride Shotgun!

TKJ-mobile

There are certain responsibilities that come with riding shotgun in the TKJ-mobile (well one) that have been explained in the newsletter, yet most who ride shotgun, do not perform these duties (really one lame task) up to standards.

Are We Ready to Turn America Upside Down?

In the early years of the church, when Christianity was illegal and most Christians were slaves or peasants, they performed a service for the pagans that was so convicting, such a testament to Christ’s love for all mankind, such a recognition of the image of God in every human being, an affirmation of the value of . . . → Read More: Are We Ready to Turn America Upside Down?
