Jennifer: How do you tell other people about Jesus?
MK 1, age 10:“ I take care of little kids and help in triage with the medical teams. I help translate.”
MK 2, age 9:“ I do kids club every Saturday. We sing and dance and help.”
MK 3, age 10:“ When the grownups do ministry with the grownups, I go play with the kids and teach them
about God.”
MK 4, age 13:“ We started a church. I help there with the kids, teaching Bible study at night.”
MK 5, age 11:“ Sometimes I help with worship. I also help tell kids about God by leading dances
with Christian music. That is my favorite part.”
MK 6, age 13:“ I help with the praise team, and I teach kids and share the Gospel.” MK 7, age 5:“ I love people and am nice to them.” MK 8, age 3:“ I play with kids.”
Jennifer: What do you like best about ministry? MK 4:“ Sharing the Gospel.” MK 2:“ That others get to learn about one of the most wonderful things in the world.” MK 1:“ That I get to do it too( share the Gospel).”
MK 3:“ My favorite part is if you share the love of Jesus, they can also one day go to heaven.”
MK 6:“ My favorite part is helping them know Jesus Christ our Savior.”
MK 9, age 15:“ After everything ends, you are left with this sense of satisfaction … you are satisfied that you were able to teach them something.”
These kids are reaching other kids and their families in ways an adult never could. They share Christ, unhindered by the things that often hold us back as adults. As I work with kids, I love seeing their faith in action. The Bible doesn’ t put an age limit on who can tell others about Jesus. One of the missionary kids, just 3 years old, asked me,“ Have you met Jesus? Because I have.” They know that what they do has eternal value, that their message is important, and that God wants them to share with others. God is using these children in mighty ways to reach others for Christ.
