Who is the Greatest in The Kingdom?

When the disciples asked the Lord who was greatest in the kingdom of heaven, Jesus placed a child in front of the disciples and told them, “Whoever humbles himself like a child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”” And whoever welcomes little children in My name welcomes Me”

[Mathew 18:1-5, Mark 9:33-37, Like 9:46-48}

Jesus went ahead and described the severity of the punishment that awaits those that lead children to sin. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

So, Why is Children’s Ministry so Important to God?

Proverbs 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

We Target 4 Platforms for Effective Children’s Ministry

We work hand in hand with churches to fulfill our mandate. We seek to impact children for Christ through four (4) main platforms;

  • The Family Platform: We provide devotional material for family fellowship to help parents raise their children in Godly values.
  • The Sunday School Platform: We provide a comprehensive course to train Sunday School teachers to be more effective in evangelizing, discipling and teaching children in the ways of God. We also equip and help churches to run children’s Bible camps and vocational Bible studies among other church children’s ministry opportunities.
  • The Community Platform: We challenge and commission children’s workers to start community based Bible study fellowship for children to reach out to the many children in our communities who may not even have an opportunity to attend Sunday School.
  • The School’s Ministry: Through partnerships with schools and other children’s organizations, we challenge, train, equip and connect churches and children’s workers with neighboring schools to provide children’s ministry to students during Pastoral Program sessions and to establish Christian Unions in these schools to facilitate Christian fellowship.
