“It has been an exciting month of growth in our kids services!! We decided to trial handing out the colouring in competition sheets (with the weeks memory verse) that also act as invitations. This has been a very effective tool in Aplaya, and has helped us to develop relationships with the families of the children. We trialed handing out 600 invitations overall, talk about effective! Our kids services exploded over night! We went from having between 70-80 in each service, to having 200 in Block 15 and 180 in Tambakan. Our church buildings could barely contain the numbers!
Pray that we will not just draw crowds, but that we will actually be able to impact the childrens lives. That they will truly meet Jesus and that their lives will be transformed.
It’s also been a great month in terms of our Kids team leadership. We have really started to work together in better unity, and we have seen some great changes. We have had a number of the youth rise up and start taking on greater roles of responsibility. Specifically some younger guys who have been invaluable helping with crowd control and handing out the IDs, however they have now started helping teach the memory verse and with worship and our testimony time. We have also seen great creativity in how we have been presenting our Bible Story each week – it’s incredible how intently the children have been listening! Please continue to pray for our team”!
