Heart for Children
Dear brothers and sisters, today we want to talk about how important children's ministry is in the life of our church. Children are not only the future of our community but also an incredible essence that needs to be nurtured today, for it is in childhood that the foundations of spirituality and morality are laid.
Jesus Christ Himself emphasized the importance of children in Matthew 19:14:
"But Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven.'This clearly shows how crucial it is to care for the spiritual development of children.
Our church is actively working on programs that will help children learn about God in a friendly and joyful atmosphere. This includes not just teaching Bible stories but also character development, nurturing kindness, love, and, most importantly, faith in God. Children need to understand that they are beloved children of God, and that He is always with them.
It’s important that the little ones not only hear about God but also have the opportunity to sing, play, paint, and express their creativity. Within our children's ministry, we conduct active games and contests.
In particular, we have introduced a program called "Children in Ministry," where older children can become mentors for younger ones, thereby passing on their knowledge and experience. This fosters responsibility and leadership qualities.
We also encourage parents to be more actively involved in children's ministry. Proverbs 22:6 says:
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."Parents, you are the first teachers of your children, and your role in their spiritual upbringing cannot be overstated.
Children also need role models. If they see their parents or the church serving others, it inspires them to act similarly. The more love, support, and stability you demonstrate, the greater the impact on their spiritual growth.
Our church is always open to new volunteers who wish to join the children's ministry. If you have the desire or ideas on how to make our ministry better, we would be very happy to hear from you.
Let us pray together for our children, that they always feel God’s love and support. May our efforts on behalf of the children bear good fruit in their lives and in the life of our church.
Join us in our children's ministries, and let us rejoice together in Christ, growing in faith!
