Overview

The Children’s Ministry was established in 2013 in the village of Wembo Nyama. At its inception, the program began with just 35 children and three dedicated volunteer teachers. Over time, the ministry has experienced remarkable growth. By 2025, it has expanded to include more than 4,000 children not only in Wembo Nyama but also in many surrounding villages throughout the province. The children’s groups gather for activities two days each week.

Leadership and Training

The ministry is led by Director Victor Embeya, who works alongside a team of trained leaders. Together, they provide training sessions for teachers and helpers who are interested in offering Christian educational opportunities for children. These training classes equip volunteers with the skills and resources necessary to foster a supportive and dynamic learning environment.

Program Activities

Each class session starts with music, where children learn and sing praise songs about Jesus. This engaging and enjoyable time helps create a joyful atmosphere for learning. Following the music, children are taught Bible stories. To reinforce these lessons, they participate in drama presentations, which give them opportunities to act out the stories they have learned. The children are involved in making costumes, puppets, and props, contributing their creativity to these activities and making the stories more memorable.

Scripture Memorization and Impact

An important aspect of the classes is scripture memorization, which is woven into the program to strengthen the children’s understanding of their faith. When partners from the USA visit the ministry, they are consistently impressed by how much the children have learned and the progress they are making in their spiritual journeys.
