Things To Know Before Starting A Childrens Ministry

By Eliza Mendoza


If you have the passion to help kids who seem to have lost hope and seem to have no future in life, then you may want to start a small childrens ministry. In most cases, a child could be alone due to loss of both parents, due to divorce cases and domestic violence or due to the violent nature of both parents. Here are seven ideals that can help you start up and progress well.

Do some soul searching to evaluate whether you really want to help or it is just a normal exciting feeling. You may need to seek come counseling and advice from your pastor and family members. Make sure you pray to god to give you wisdom to know whether this is His will or not.

There must be a reason why you are willing to help. Take your time to identify your objectives as well as vision and mission of what you intend to start. Your aims and objectives towards offering help should be solid and should include a plan of action, which will help you achieve the goal of being helpful to the society.

You need to know the number of kids you can give your support easily. It does not make sense thinking of a larger number and yet you have no funds in place to help you do the job. It would be ideal if you start with a small number and add on to the already existing lot as time goes by.

There is no way a ministry can survive without money. Well, finance seems to be the only answer to every question that human beings have, and in that case, you need to know your source of funds. You can ask for a helping hand from your local church, from the junior church staff meeting or seek for sponsorship. Make sure you have a great proposal in place so that your donor-funding search may become a success in the end.

It is always important to be yourself because it is only the best way through which you can service efficiently. The problem is that most charity organizations turned to benefiting from children rather than helping them realize their hope for the future. This is actually not right and if you were going to serve with greed, it would be best if you did something else.

Learn to see the future. While it is not going to be easy all through, you must learn how to give the best kind of services to the children in question. Because you are going to be doing it free, always get in touch with donors to help you support the children. Remind them not give up on the ministry you have started, at least for the sake of giving these hopeless young ones a hope for the future.

If you want to run a successful childrens ministry, you must have a permit from the government. This is a just a way to make sure that you are doing something legal in the sense that the state authority recognizes it. However, seek guidance before starting anything.
