The Skit Guys Help echoingU Grow In Faithfulness

Faith is the foundation for everything we do at Echoing Hills. It is present in many ways; for example, our inclusion of a time for devotions each day.

Daily devotions provide team members and individuals served an opportunity to gather and grow in our faithfulness. Together, we read His word, have a conversation, and pray. It is time we can strengthen our relationship with God and one another. It is also a time each region can be creative in making that time impactful for those participating. EchoingU of Southwest Ohio does just that.

While doing devotions, team members utilize Bedtime Bible Stories (BBS) by The Skit Guys. The Skit Guys, friends Tommy Woodard and Eddie James, produce BBS videos that entertain while sharing Bible stories. Creating other family-friendly videos as well, The Skit Guys infuse heart in all they do.

“We started using The Skit Guys videos during devotion time because they share stories of the Bible in a fun and funny way,” shares Pauletta Wessel, Habilitation Coordinator at echoingU on Southwest Ohio. “I have seen our students respond so positively to their messages.”

In each of their videos, The Skit Guys will reference their Bibles. One day it occurred to Pauletta that some of her students may not have their own copy.

“I asked the students and discovered that only two individuals owned a Bible,” said Wessel. “It was then I emailed The Skit Guys to see if they could help.”

She did not have to wait long for a response. Pauletta soon received an email from Sarah with The Skit Guys. “We discussed the best Bible for our students and how many we would need in total,” shares Wessel. In the end, The Skit Guys provided copies of The Action Bible for 20 students of echoingU.

“It brightened my day to get my new Bible because I have always wanted to learn more and now I can,” shares Brittany, a student at echoingU. “I appreciate The Skit Guys for giving me and everyone else our Bibles.”

This is not the first time The Skit Guys have blessed Echoing Hills.

In October 2020, echoingU students watched a BBS video that focused on being fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). They were so moved by the message, many crying, realizing they were created in His image. The students decided to create thank you cards and sent pictures to The Skit Guys. The duo, in return, made a video to thank their friends at echoingU for their kind gesture.

“The Skit Guys have shared so much faithfulness with the students of echoingU,” shares Wessel. “Since their involvement, through videos and personal touches, I have seen students with and without a strong faith join our prayer group, actively participate, and ask for prayers for others.”

Love. Learn. Worship.
