Children's Ministry Travels Forward

How does Children's Ministry travel forward in Ghana? It moves with the help of some special folks . . . leaders in local churches.

This is no ordinary vehicle pictured here. It brings an entire compound of children to Sunday school every Sunday morning. Deacon Mensah (driving) had nine children and three adults in his motor this past Sunday. . . I know because I counted as they piled out and ran to their Sunday school area under a huge mango tree.

When did Deacon Mensah begin bringing children to Sunday school? Right after he helped teach and supervise Ghana's first Children's Day program in his local assembly (our headquarter's church in the capital city). Deacon's own children are growing up, learning about Jesus every week, traveling to church with their Dad in his motor every Sunday morning.

How does children's ministry travel forward? Get as many church leaders and adults involved as possible. They may not be able to teach children every Sunday, but one day a year you can encourage, beg, promote, plead with them to work during Children's Day . . . getting acquainted with those precious little ones that touch all our hearts. It is one of the greatest tools for recruiting those elders . . . especially if they have children or grandchildren of their own.

Let's all work together, helping and encouraging one another, as we march forward . . .
