Looking for an opportunity to lead children in missions? The first annual and national Children’s Ministry Day on February 16, 2008 is the perfect solution. The emphasis for the day is Hope for the Hungry and the objectives are threefold:
- To move children’s groups into their communities for a one-day effort to minister and witness together.
- To help children understand the needs of others and grow in their ability to minister to others as Christ did.
- To enable children, leaders, parents and recipients of ministry across North America to share and receive God’s love.
Suggested hands-on projects for Children’s Ministry Day include Kiddie Meals, PB & J Day and Birthday Bash Bags.
Children’s Ministry Day can be included into any children’s program such as a missions organization, Sunday school or Bible study group, children’s choir or children’s church. Use this as a kick-off for beginning an ongoing children’s mission program in your church. Offering opportunities for children to minister in their communities today will generate on mission adults tomorrow.
