Hi sisters,
I just read this part from Karen QT, sharing about the what the church is going to plan for our parent ministry and same time thinking to help our kids.
I'm so grateful to God that the church is thinking how can raise up the kids in Christlike way and able to influence them when they are so young.
This is Karen's sharing :
I have also set up our youth ministry to have a Scout Programme, boys and girls separate, for the 3rd and 4th graders to get them interested in spiritual things and to get them comfortable with small groups from a young age. We work on character issues and scripture memory, and are using the Veggie Tales movies as a kind of curriculum. At the same time, the pre teens are having their meetings, and the young teens are in a different room, with the teens having their own class…While all this is going on, the parents are having their midweek lessons, with discipling groups afterwards. It is our hope that as the parents get strengthened, they will be able to talk to their children more about spiritual things, and then more and more youth will be baptized. At this time, our youth ministry is growing by leaps and bounds! Praise God!
In the same way, we also encourage every member to be involved in a HOPE volunteer program in their neighbourhood. Each region of the church has a “pet project” that they have come up with themselves, and they must fund it and run it on a monthly basis without the help of any full-time church staff. Some of our programmes include helping out at the mental health hospital with the long term patients (playing games with them, exercising, karaoke), befriending the boys from the Boys’ Home, caring for the physically handicapped at a special home, along with several others.
I'm so grateful to God that my kids can get to benefit this programs!! I'm sure they will learned alot of spiritual stuffs and also build great friendship here!!
Luv,
Veron Kuwe :)

Yes starting from young is the way.Last week at the Ezzo's class, Gary Ezzo shared that at times God will give us some hints about us doing right. I want to highly encourage you of a conversation I had with Janelle a week ago at your place. She just fetched her sister home from school. I was praising her about her school work as she was just awarded for being 2nd in class. Then she told me that her marks were not her own, it was from God. So proud of her, no doubt she will become a Christian ;)
amen!!! To God be glory!! I'm encourage to hear that.
