After spending the entire month of April learning about Liberia with our children’s missions team, Truth Travelers, we all went on a short, two hour field trip. Our goal for this field trip had two parts. We wanted to experience what life is like for many children of the world and we wanted to raise money to be an encouragement to a Liberian orphan. After much discussion we decided that to truly understand how a Liberian child might live we must put ourselves in a similar position.

Have you ever wanted your kids to make a difference in the world they live in? Have you ever wanted your kids to experience what life is like in another country without ever leaving your church? That’s what the Truth Travelers in Muncie, Indiana are doing every week at our church.
Every night this group of elite missionary children’s team gets together to discover the lives of the missions we support. Each month is a different mission focus and each night is a different discovery of that missions way of life. Whether it be a Christian campus, a foreign missionary, or any other mission the children learn what life is all about through the eyes of those missions.

John 4:35
Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
As we drove through Louisiana on the way home from an event last Fall, we drove past many cotton fields. The cotton was truly white and ready for harvest. Some of the fields were being harvested as we passed them.
We saw miles and miles of white fields. It reminded me of John 4:35.
There are 6.7 billion people in the world today. The majority have not heard the good news of the Gospel. And if they have it was misrepresented to them as dead religion or was not relative to their lives. It’s our job to take the good news to the world. They will not evangelize themselves. » I want to read more! »

This summer we are hosting our first ever jump rope camp. Children will come for 2 hours each of 5 days and learn basic jump rope skills. They will also be learning basic Christianity and how they can be trully jubilant. The curriculum is in the planning stages but we plan to use an acrostic to teach some fundamental truths. JUMP – Jesus Understands My Problems ROPE – Relationship, Obedience, Praise, Enjoy CAMP – Christ Alone Makes me Perfect. The kids will receive official Jubilation shirts and ropes. We are excited and hope to reach unsaved children with the gospel!

Instead of the children attending church invite the adults to attend Sunday school I use the same format I would for Sunday School just extending the segments to fill in the time- I did include church announcements but in a fun way adults were expected to participate as I believe doing is far more educational than watching and this way they were learning what the children do and how they learn about God I used object lessons, games (active and quiet), craft and children’s songs to deliver the key message of the day. The prayers were active prayers and I even included a memory verse we have a lot of while learning

When we moved to reach out to a community, the Lord has impressed to us the presence of children in the area. That we could start a ministry in the community by organizing a KIDS PLAYFEST.
Hoping to plant a Cell Group in the place, we begin praying for the said activity. Spiritual preparation is a must.
How did we do the PLAYFEST? We desired to serve the kids and eventually reaching out to their parents. » I want to read more! »
