Starting Sunday School in South America

Tamitha — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:21:13 +0000

Sunday School is a brand new concept for most churches in Ecuador and throughout South America. IF a church does have Sunday School or Children’s Church, that usually means that the kids gather and sing a few songs. This isn’t because no one WANTS to teach the children, it is simply because they don’t have the resources or training to know WHAT to do. The Lynch Family (missionaries to South America) are working to change this by offering curriculum & training. You can partner with them to help plant a children’s church.

“We are providing each church with a full ‘children’s ministry in-a-box’ kit, which will have all the resources and curriculum that they need for a whole year. But we are not just dropping off the boxes and leaving, we are providing training on HOW to use these items,” says missionary Tamitha Lynch. Teachers will receive extensive training and follow-up sessions to allow them to teach effectively.

For more information on how your church can help start a children’s church in South America, contact the Lynch’s.

To REALLY get your children’s church kids intimately involved in missions, partner them with a child who is living and ministering in another country as a missionary. We have a list of missionary families who have young children with them on the mission field. These kids will LOVE to receive letters, emails, videos and other communication from the kids in your church and will send back replies. What a great way to learn about the mission field!

Just complete this form and we will match you with a pen pal.

Mission Possible – Lesson Intro

Tamitha — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:34:54 +0000

Can you imagine your life without Jesus, without food, without clean water or a safe place to live? Many children in other parts of the world have never heard about Jesus. They struggle everyday to survive.

Jesus loves all people—no matter who they are or where they live. He died on the cross for our sins so we could live forever with Him in heaven. He doesn’t want anyone to die without having a chance to be forgiven.

We need to get this message to the people around the world who don’t know Jesus, and we are asking you to join us on this mission.

The Mission

What exactly is the mission? To reach people in all parts of the world with the love of Jesus Christ.

In Matthew 28, Jesus tells us it is our job to tell people around the world who He is and that He loves them. We call it the Great Commission, and it is why missions is important.

Many missionaries leave their homes and go to other parts of the world to tell people about Jesus. Although their work can be lonely and sometimes dangerous, they follow God’s call and show His love to others in many ways. Missionaries preach, teach, sing, feed the hungry, help the poor and provide homes for orphaned children.

You may be young, but you are never too young to get involved with missions. God wants to use you right now to tell others He loves them.

Are you ready for the mission? Kids like you can make Missions Possible!

Make it seem like the class is going on a special trip. As the kids enter, give them passports, a boarding pass for their seat, etc. Once everybody is “on board” the trip can take off and land in the country you’re going to be discussing today.

Decorate the room with things reminiscent of your feature country.

Learn some unique culture tidbits to discuss or incorporate.

Serve food from your feature country.

Send relief packages to Haiti

Tamitha — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 15:53:36 +0000

Kids Power Company is partnering with our good friends at North Cleveland (TN) Church of God, in an effort to help with disaster relief for the people of Haiti. Operation KidPassion is the name of this relief effort. It is an outreach in which students are encouraged to get involved personally. They do this by filling a one-gallon size Ziploc bags with basic items that kids who have been orphaned and homeless due to the Earthquake need desperately (see list on the attachment document). This immediate need is great! Hundreds of thousands of people and orphan children are living on the street! Please read the attached flyer and encourage your kids to quickly get involved! We are also partnering with Operation Compassion to get all the items shipped to Haiti ASAP. Kids Power Company members please bring your bags, marked and filled according to the flyer, to KPC, no later than Sunday, January 24th. Our friends who are Kids Ministry leaders across the country, please encourage the kids in your church to get involved. For more information about Operation Kidpassion contact Chris Quinn at cquin@nccog.org.

YWEA 2010 Project Announced

Tamitha — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:57:21 +0000

YWEA 2010–OPERATION RESCUE

The 2010 YWEA Project will focus once again on hurting children of the world. Under the theme “Hope for the Hopeless–Operation Rescue” the YWEA 2010 emphasis will target Nogales, Mexico and Bogota, Colombia.

In Nogales we will raise funds to construct an orphanage for the abandoned and abused children who’s parents gather at the border in search of a better life. The children of Nogales are abandoned as familes disintegrate leaving the children to fend for themselves. These childern are forced into prostitution, gangs and child labor just to survive.

In Bogota, Colombia we will enlarge and expand a “safe house” for children. Currently a “safehouse” for girls is in operation but is limited in scope. YWEA 2010 will help to relocate this “safehouse” and enlarge it to include young boys also. Children in Colombia are targeted by the guerillas who force them to serve as soldiers in the guerrilla armies. They are sexually and physically abused and neglected. It is estimated that in Colombia an average of seven (7) children are killed every day–One Every Three Hours. Your support of YWEA-Operation Resuce will provide a safe secure home for many abandoned and abused children.

Remember 100% of your gift and donation will go directly toward the projects in Nogales and Bogota. For more information contact us at ywea@churchofgod.org or visit the website at www.yweaoperationrescue.org
