What You Must Do 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.

The first thing you want to do is to soul search yourself to find out whether you really want to help. You need to take your time so that it will not be just a mere feeling but something touchy and true. You may want to ask for advice from different people and to pray to God about it as well.

Know the reasons why you have made up your decision on starting such a big mission. Talk to several people, who can help you evaluate your reasons to see if they are valid and valuable or just ordinary. Again, talk to your family members to see if they are for the idea or not and if they are in, they may be able to offer a helping hand in one way or another.

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.

One of the most important blocks in the whole of this establishment is funds and you therefore need to know the exact source from which money will come. Write a perfect proposal and approach the church with it. Tell members in the congregation, through your pastor, what you intend to start and that you will need regular support to help kids out there find a hope for tomorrow. Look for sponsors and if you are good enough at talking to people, you will end up with donors.

There is nothing better in an evil world than just being yourself when you are in a ministry. You started the whole of this idea with an intention to help and in that case, make sure you stick to your goals. Your objectives and aims should be to help children realize how they are important and that they can also have a future just like you secured one.

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.

Before your childrens ministry can become legal, you will need to get an approval from the state government. The government needs to know the reason behind why you intend to start such a mission. Once they give you a go ahead, you can start your establishment.
