Kids Small Groups

We had an action-packed day of God's glory as we ministered throughout Kibuye.

The morning started off with a glorious time as Jeremy and Liza led the team in visioncasting Children's Ministry to the pastors of the ICC. It was an eye-opening moment in which these incredible church leaders grasped onto the keys of Children's Ministry and are ready to reach the next generation in incredible ways. One of the key ah-has was Dorothy sharing her insight as she is a model of Children's Ministry at Christ Gospel Fellowship in Kimironko.

Meanwhile, a small team of 6 (Susan, German, Christine, Corrie, Jessie, & Eric) visited the hospital. They spent time ministering to the patients through prayer, song and testimonies.

Then we reunited for lunch as a team with the ICC pastors and other church leaders. It was a time of fellowship that was thoroughly enjoyed...we wanted to cancel the rest of the afternoon's plans to just join in fellowship with our brothers in Christ.

But we persisted on as the entire team introduced the 5 purposes through Children's Ministry Leader Training to the "servants" (children's leaders/workers) representing the ICC's churches in Kibuye. The room was filled and they were challenged by our team, Dorothy & Pastor Justin to truly understand the first two purposes--Worship & Belong--in order to be the purpose-driven models to the children of their church.

And, of course, no day would be complete without time spent at the football field. We once again got to support and uplift the PEACE Football Club teams in a final practice before Saturday game day. As we lost sun, we divided into two teams all through God's intervention. Scott shared his testimony and led many older students from the technological school to Christ. At the same time, Eric shared his story and Jeremy led many children in the prayer of salvation. Even if many were rededicating for the 2nd, 3rd or 10th time we know that there were still many who were genuinely accepting Jesus into their lives for the very first time.

We praise God for a fruitful day. Today truly marks the beginning of INCREDIBLE things here in Kibuye. The gauntlet has been thrown down as far as raising up the Children's Ministries in the local churches. If they do not care for the children, who will?
