Kids in Ministry Conference Info:
For children that are called to serve
What is the purpose of the Kids in Ministry Conference?
This conference is designed for the preteen children in grades 5, 6 and 7 (10, 11 and 12 years old children). The statistics and the testimonies demonstrate to us that great Christian leaders were called to the ministry at this age. Furthermore, we believe that this generation of children wants to be involved and challenged in their call. Our purpose in this conference is to equip them and give them the tools to help them to be active servants in their homes, church and community.
Who can attend the Kids in Ministry?
The Kids in Ministry Conference invites each church to register a group of five children (grades 5, 6 and 7) with an adult leader that can guide and stay with them the whole time of the Conference. This will be a great time to bond, learn, play and worship together.
The Kids in Ministry Conference will have the participation of some of the key instructors from the Entre Niños Conference that will be training the children at their level. They will receive the training in worship, puppets, clowning and drama. They will also be motivated and challenged to reach their own generation for Christ. They will conclude with a drama presentation for the adults in the Entre Niños Conference.
We have limited space available and we invite you to register your group early.
These youngsters will be prepared to transform their home, church and their community!
