Children's Ministry
Over 50% of the population is under the age of 15. It is imperative to reach this generation of Nigeriens with the Gospel. We are seeking to reach them through weekly Good News Clubs in all the cities, villages, and neighborhoods where we have a church, through special childrens evangelistic campaigns, Sunday school programs, children's churches, and summer camps.
A children's outreach program is started during the first evangelistic crusades in each church we plant. As a result of this effort, each of the six churches we have planted has an active children's ministry with trained workers. Some of the young adults and children's workers in our churches today were first evangelized through our children's outreaches.
Our yearly camping program continues to grow each year. Camps are presently held in both Niamey and Maradi for children and adolescents. We have been involved in the camping program of Niamey since 1997. Each year we need sponsors for the children who wish to go to camp. Most of the children who attend camp come from Muslim homes. Many have been saved and filled with the Holy Spirit.
