Kids By Richard Herrera Diaz, Every Community for Christ Coordinator, Colombia in the Harvest Angie, just 10 years old, lives in the village of Palomino in Colombia, South America. Her big smile and twinkling eyes shine brightly with her love for Jesus. Angie is just one of many young disciples for Jesus serving in our 10:2 Kids ministry. 10:2 Kids is inspired by Luke 10:2: “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” The ministry trains and sends out the smallest people to impact their communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in big ways. We value children and the contribution they can make toward building God’s kingdom, recognizing that kids, as well as adults, are an answer to our prayers when we follow Jesus’ command in Luke 10:2. Through evangelism, training new disciples, and starting small groups, the Lord is using children in an extraordinary movement today in Colombia and around the world. In October 2015, 10:2 leaders trained Angie to use the materials to make disciples for Jesus. Angie caught the vision and now enthusiastically uses the evangelism and discipleship tools from 10:2 Kids to reach children in her community. Her love for the Lord is reflected in her friendships with other kids in her neighborhood. Angie not only makes disciples but trains others at her church to do the same by sharing the Good News of Jesus with 6–12 year olds and helping them follow Jesus. She trains children from her church through meetings held in their homes or in the homes of her friends from school. She is admired in her community for her leadership and love. Angie wants to see all of her friends from school doing what she does—being an example of the love and passion that our Lord Jesus Christ has for children around the world. Currently, 10:2 Kids ministers to kids in Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Spain, and Ecuador. We pray that thousands of children around the world will be used to share the love of Jesus and take part in the great harvest God has prepared for this time. 7 Angie shares the Good News with kids in her neighborhood.
