Barn Group Teaches Social Skills, Lessons
Isaiah 11 Ministry in Warsaw provides comfort, healing and counseling to the people while also providing a refuge for abused and neglected animals. (See story)
As the ministry grows, founder, operator and executive director Linda Ozier holds weekly sessions for the young people of Kosciusko County. One of those sessions is the Tuesday Night Barn Group.
While children ages 6 years old to adults in their mid-20s take part, the only requirement is that a parent or guardian sign a waiver for their child. Each week, the 2-hour sessions include social time and some type of activity.
This past week, the kids took part in an obstacle course that involved a variety of challenges. Among their tasks along the obstacle course were to find gummy worms with their feet in a pool of muddy water, stick a marshmallow on a stick by using only their mouths, then feeding the marshmallow to one of the goats or the pig that makes their home at the ministry.
The Tuesday Night Barn Group is open to all youth and is free to attend. For more information, contact Isaiah 11 at 574-549-8071 or 574-858-6036.
