Children's Ministries Are Door-Openers to Christ

 

CHILDREN SOAK UP THE LOVE AND ATTENTION

GIVEN BY THE KGM MISSIONARY-PASTORS YOU SEND

Children in India love the fun they have at Vacation Bible School. They play games, learn Bible stories, and sing action songs. But it's the love they receive from the missionaries and believers you send, that keeps them coming back to church and Sunday School . Through their love, the children begin to discover Jesus, the One who loves them even more.

EXPLORE WAYS YOU'RE CARING FOR THE CHILDREN

Counselling and Guidance:

The native KGM pastor-missionaries you send are "committed to care for the children" in their villages through Sunday School, VBS, and follow-up in-home visits, writes Pastor Saha Simon, Director of KGM India.

 "Many children, like their parents, are addicted to mobiles (social media), alcohol, and other evil perversions. It is our duty to counsel and guide them. Our Children's Ministries are the door-opener to Christ for non-Christian parents and children."

Family Transformation:

Sunday and Vacation Bible schools can pioneer ministry work that transforms families and entire villages. Sometimes children are the only ones open to hearing the Good News when KGM pastor-missionaries first visit a village. Their excitement about what they've heard can motivate parents to find out more, which can open doors for KGM missionaries to share God's love with the entire family.

It might start with a song the parents hear the child singing or a Bible Story they learned and share with the family. Sometimes it's the child's improved behavior that peaks the curiosity of Mom and Dad. Other times it's something more serious.

Asheena had learned stories about Jesus' healing miracles at Vacation Bible School. 

When Asheena's little brother fell ill the parents were frantic. Asheena watched as conventional medical advice and prayers to Hindu gods failed. 

Finally, the child's fear for her brother gave her the boldness to insist her father ask Jesus to heal him and she took him to meet Pastor Saha who prayed for her brother. When the boy was healed, the entire family started attending church.                                                            

Food Security & Education

Exposure to Sunday School and VBS puts the child's family on our KGM pastors' radar. Visits to the home for prayer reveal physical needs that our pastors seek to meet through our widow rescue, women's savings and training groups, and the Springs of Hope animal-rearing ministries.

Babymol has three children and her husband struggles with alcohol addiction. She lives in a mud hut with a tin sheet roof, barely able to provide her three young children food, much less schooling.  When KGM Pastors Saha and Anju learned during their visits that she was determined to get her children an education, they knew God wanted them to help.  Today, Babymol is grateful for your gift of chickens that is blessing this family with food and the money for tuition she prayed for.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Funding for KGM Children's Ministries year-round is done by supplementing believer tithes through KGM USA's FOUNTAIN COMMUNITY where partners pool their resources so our pastor- missionaries are equipped to do outreach work to non-Christian families in their villages and pioneer work in new villages. You can also attend or contribute gifts to our Annual Dessert Dash for VBS event held every year in the Spring to raise extra funds for Vacation Bible School.

WHERE DOES MY MONEY GO?

Your monthly gift of ANY amount goes directly to the mission field and supplements believer tithes to help KGM churches, led by native pastors, reach out to new villages who have never heard of Jesus.

    HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE?

In this community, it doesn’t matter how much someone can give. It’s all about what God can accomplish through us when we work together. The Fountain Community partners commit to give a regular monthly amount, whatever God lays on their hearts, and agree to pool all these resources into one fund that helps our pastors plant more churches in new villages. Fountain members are currently providing funds for 83 KGM churches - a 45% increase over the previous year.

 

  God bless you for giving access to the Word and the love of God through your investment in KGM pastors. You are creating lasting life change for children and their families.
