This takes place every August Holidays on Monday to Friday for one week only, from 8:00am to 12:30pm. On the Sunday of DVBS week is children’s Department day during which some of the children are baptized.
Highlights of Passage Experiences (HOPES)
This program is designed to effect transitional period from childhood to teenage hood for the children between class six to eight and ends with a December HOPES camp for the children in class eight (KCPE) or even class seven (GCE) who are joining high school. It has a curriculum structured to address issues touching the children’s day to day life and includes an extensive teaching which encompasses spiritual, emotional & physical growth, personal grooming and career development. Parents are involved in this program partnering with the teachers. Activities are put in place such as; mother/daughter, father/son day and other sessions for the parent to help mentor their children.
Easter & Christmas Programs
The children get a chance to minister to the congregation exposing their talents inn dance, drama and music.
Children Prayer Day
This takes place every year in November and the children meet together to pray for the nation of Kenya, Africa and the world at large.
Bible Clubs
We reach out to children in their estates through Bible Club programs.
Mission & Outreach
The children donate clothes, foodstuffs and other items as the Lord leads and have the chance to visit children’s home, or go for a mission out of Nairobi. The month of September is Missions month.
The children ministry also partners with the ministry of education through the Pastoral program of instruction (PPI). This program seeks to reach out to primary school going children in our public and private schools. Our main purpose is to develop a holistic child that is thoroughly prepared to transform his own world. We have developed a saying that says, “if the mountain does not come to you, go where it is”. We usually teach these children for thirty five minutes once a week. At the moment we have adopted four schools that include State house primary, Shadrack Kimalel, Kilimani and Milimani primary schools. God is doing something in these 4-14 widow. Kindly consider giving to the work of God your thirty five minutes once a week and you will transform a whole generation through the power of the Holy Spirit that is at work in you.
