God's Blessings in the Children's Evangelistic Ministry |
Good News Clubs are one of the most important areas of ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship. A Good News Club is a regular class (once per week) for children from unbelieving families. We organize these clubs to introduce children to Christ, to help and support them in their faith, and to invite the children and their parents to church. During the course of our work in child evangelism God has provided a variety of locations for these groups: activity rooms in community centers, offices, hospitals, orphanages, rehabilitation centers, dormitories and even private homes and apartments.  Last month, God blessed us with the opportunity to organize yet another Good News Club in Poltava. The club meets at the home of Valentina Dmitrievna on Lugovoy street. She is raising two granddaughters, Vicki and Nastya, who also wanted to invite us to hold a club. The girls and their grandmother occasionally come to our church on Sunday, and now they are as much, if not more, excited about Good News Club on Saturday. The girls invite their friends, and meet with a team of caring teachers with whom they have become good friends. At each lesson 10 or 12 children hear the truth of God's Word in simple and understandable terms. Throughout the meeting the house is full of the sound of singing, laughter and games. During craft time colored paper and household supplies are transformed into works of art. And at the end ... tea and sweets. . Vladimir Goluk |
