Steps | Phase One | Phase Two | Phase Three

STEP 1: A BIBLICAL APPROACH FOR PARENTS

God has called every father and mother to “Train up a child in the way he should go…” (Proverbs 22:6). About 70% of the world’s population does not know Christ. How can parents who do not know the Savior, share the gospel with their own sons and daughters? We want to give dads and moms a copy of the New Testament in their own language and connect them with a local church, so they can know Christ for themselves, and then evangelize and disciple their offspring.

STEP 2: CHURCH PLANTING PARTNER

As new churches are being launched worldwide, we will partner with church planting pastors and local leadership to help them develop and begin an effective ministry to children (birth to 14 years old). Children’s Ministries International, Inc. will provide Biblical instruction, assessments, strategies, and training.

STEP 3: TRAIN WORKERS FOR MINISTRY TO KIDS

Equip and certify trainers to teach regional, national, and international workshops for parents, church planters, children’s ministry leaders, Kids’ Retreat directors, and technology managers.

STEP 4: INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Cultivate, Train and Mentor
Mentoring, Resources
worldwide. Network with other ministries.
