God's Faithfulness Through Generations
Dustin Kinney & Neilia Moliassa
At LC3, we are blessed to see God’s faithfulness woven through the lives of our families—and sometimes that faithfulness becomes beautifully visible in the next generation.
This month, we want to highlight one of our incredible young volunteers: Dustin Kinney, age 18. Dustin grew up in our church, attending the elementary ministry when it was still called Promise Land. As a kid, he watched his mom, Neilia, faithfully serve—helping children learn Bible stories, memorize Scripture, and see Jesus’ love lived out each week.
Today, Dustin is following in her footsteps. Now a young adult, he serves regularly in our elementary ministry, leading kids with joy, patience, and enthusiasm. This past summer he even stepped into character as Joseph in Egypt, helping children understand God’s faithfulness through Joseph’s story. Dustin says his heart for serving comes from watching his mom’s example—and now he gets to pass that same love for God’s Word to the next generation.
Recently he shared this experience: “One weekend I was leading the kids’ large-group lesson in Elementary. We had over 50 kids that service, and most of the helpers in the room were high schoolers and middle schoolers. It made me realize how well our church has discipled the younger generations. They aren’t serving because they have to—they serve because they want to. It’s amazing to see how much God is moving in our church!”
Dustin’s story is a reminder that spiritual investment matters. When parents and adults step into ministry, kids notice. They remember. And often, they grow up to do the very same.
As we continue to pour into our children, we invite parents and adults to join us in shaping the next generation of believers. Your influence—your presence—could be the spark that encourages a child to walk faithfully with Jesus for a lifetime.
God is at work in our church family, from one generation to the next. Let’s continue the legacy together.
