Praises & Petitions from Turkanaland: Week 2
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
WEEK OF JUNE 8th, 2020
The Children’s Ministry in Nakiria Zone continues to grow, now with 17 trained Sunday School teachers in action. Share’s curriculum for training Sunday School teachers includes multiple lessons, beginning with qualifications of a good teacher to the importance of children before the sight of God. The vision is to make disciples of the children by training the Sunday School teachers to be disciple-makers, who in turn train the children to make disciples of others.
There are 747 children, ages 5 to 12, attending church regularly in the 40 Share-planted churches throughout Nakiria Zone. The children continue to grow in their faith and practice the discipleship methods they have been taught. So far, one children’s cell-group, or “Lighthouse”, has been established with 15 disciples. All of these young disciples have successfully led others to faith in Christ!

She reported that Sunday School has taught her how to pray, read the Word of God, and use the disciple-making methods to minister to other children and lead them to know Christ as Savior. Nancy stated she has seen many children in the village come to know Jesus.
