Hi friends,
The work of a coalition is to walk alongside others, provide encouragement and to assist where another is lacking. The result of this kind of service, can bring very positive results for the Kingdom of God.
Pastor Phosh, who is part of our coalition, had his life turned upside down when he attended a children’s camp a few years ago. God spoke directly into His heart and told him…..”You limit what I can do, through children.” He joined the coalition and then pursued opportunities to help churches either begin a children’s ministry, or to revamp and uplift the children’s ministry in their churches. He has tirelessly gone about training, encouraging and sharing on the importance of children with all who will receive him.
In a remote village of Limpopo, called Mankweng, South Africa, he took a small church under his wing. This is the result:
- They have now established a committee and drawn up a year plan.
- They began a children’s ministry in their church, which they had never had before. Children are now being served in that area
- They began to raise funds for the IAG Missions department, called CMC (Children’s Missions Challenge.) These children live in poverty yet they have chosen to share the little they have to ensure that the gospel is shared. How inspiring!
- They put in a schedule of children’s ministry events for the next year, to reach out and share the gospel.
They began their children’s ministry launch with 2 days of prayer and fasting ……not only the adults, but with the children too, which was a wonderful success. The children prayed fervently and trusted the Lord to help them reach out to the unsaved and to build a vibrant children’s ministry throughout the area.
Following the prayer day, they report that Sunday morning services have also been a great success and are running smoothly. They have had good attendance and participation and support from the parents. Further collaboration will take place with this area to assist them with training.
Without collaboration, these children would have been in a very dark place. Through raising an awareness of how we can help each other, God’s Kingdom can not only grow, but be the living testimony it is meant to be.
Much love and blessings,
Kingdom Coalition for Kids Leadership Team
