Some of the Kinder Clubs are
made up of a lean too shack next to a 'Sisters' home.
Help is needed to refurbish these and establish
more suitable meeting places.

We urgently need to be able
to fund a translator who will work through the Suriname Bible
Society to translate the Stonecroft Bible Studies and other
children's literature into Sranan and Dutch.
This could be provided through the Women's
Empowerment Sponsorship Program where a portion is allocated
to allow the sponsored mother to bring a child to the Kinder
Club to be fed physically and Spiritually at least once a
week.
|
For an additional US $10 mum can
bring a second child to the Kinder Club |
|
During the Kinder Club there will be a variety
of activities in addition to the Stonecroft Bible Studies
for the children and their mums.
We are looking at the introduction of different
children's educational and empowerment ministries. |

CHILDRENS
MINISTRIES
|
Jenny took KIMI
to Suriname early this year. To establish Kinder Clubs now
called PowerClubs in many of the local churches, some are
held in backyards, neutral locations, schools, slums, ghettos,
and homes. While some of the leaders are experienced children's
ministers, many others have never worked with children before,
but have caught the vision of taking children further into
the things of the Spirit. In many places starting an official
PowerClub outside a local church is in essence "planting
a church of children" because it is likely the only church
many of these children will ever have the privilege of going
to. |

Early
Childhood Music
We have a life-changing program that works!
Music research shows that children who are involved in preschool
piano lessons with singing have greater brain function that
lasts their entire lifetime.
And that is just the beginning. Music lessons
also help develop the characteristics that you want developed
in your child.
|
Characteristics
like social skills and perseverance.
Seen here the children in
America that are experiencing excellent results from the program.

Character
First
A community-wide character program should
provide tools to saturate a whole community, from the classroom
to the workplace. This approach reinforces parental involvement
and ensures character education in the classroom harmonizes
with character education in the family |
The Character First! Education
program and curriculum enables school staff and students to
enhance the effectiveness of education, help students understand
the role of character in their success, and provide resources
and tools for school administrators and teachers to use as
they develop a culture of good character in their institutions. |
Across the nation and around the
world, teachers, parents, and principals have reported the difference
character is making in the lives of their students.

Kids'
Evangelism Explosion is based on the belief that
kids can share the Gospel and it is the responsibility of parents
and pastors of the church to teach them how to do so.
|
We believe the Great Commission
is for everyone, not just adults or even youth. Kids' EE lays
a foundation for spiritual growth in children and enables youngsters
to respond with excitement and enthusiasm to Jesus' command
to all of us to be His witnesses. It develops a world-view that
is framed by the recognition that without faith in Jesus we
are all lost in our sins. |
