We look forward to summer because we can have longer times with the kids during our Kids Ministry on Saturday. We gathered the kids that live near to Hope for the Island, the middle of town, and the far end of town. In Burgos, we have three different areas of Kids Ministry every Saturday, plus we drive to 4 others villages with the staff and the assistants.
We are so thankful to the amazing group of woman in Winnipeg, who made hand knitted dolls for the kids. To be honest, most of the kids were in shock they received a doll and a book because it’s not Christmas! We wanted them to know God loves them so much, so we planned a fun day for them and gave them a gift for summer. I can’t possibly put into words the effect that the Kids Ministry is having in our community. We value the kids in our community and what we have seen over the years is that the seeds planted in the hearts of these kids now is not lost, but can be seen growing in their hearts for years to come.
Some of these kids will be full time missionaries at Hope for the Island or on another mission field one day.
Please continue to pray Jeremiah 29:11-13 over these kids.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart
We pray these kids learn about God in such a way that they can walk out in the meaning of this verse.
