WhaL lmpllcaLlons would Lhls have on your mlnlsLry?







What About the arents?

Sadly ln mosL Chlldren's MlnlsLrles Lhe parenLs are lsolaLed from Lhelr chlldren. arenLs Lake an acLlve
lnLeresL ln Lhelr chlldren's educaLlon, ln Lhelr sporLlng achlevemenLs and ln many oLher aspecLs of
Lhelr llves. WhaL message does lL glve Lo a chlld LhaL Lhls does noL happen wlLhln Lhe llfesLyle of

LffecLlve change ln Lhe hearLs of parenLs wlll come from revelaLlon of Lhe Word under Lhe power and
anolnLlng of Lhe Poly SplrlL. Cenerally Lhls requlres Leachlng and mlnlsLry from Lhe asLor aL Lhe

Suggest|ons for Invo|v|ng arents:

Pave parenLs as cell leaders wlLh Lhelr own chlldren or wlLhln Lhe age group of Lhelr chlldren.

Ask every parenL (faLhers and moLhers) Lo go on a rosLer Lo be parL of Lhelr chlld's Cell on a

poLenLlal of Lhelr chlld, buL also encourages parLlclpaLlon LhaL can be conLlnued aL home.

Pold quarLerly prayer nlghLs for parenLs, where Lhey pray for Lhemselves, Lhelr famllles, Lhelr
chlldren and Lhelr chlldren's Cells.

Lncourage parenLs Lo play a parL ln ouLreach evenLs wlLh Lhelr chlldren.

When Lhelr chlld brlngs a frlend Lo Lhe chlldren's small group encourage Lhe parenLs Lo adopL"
LhaL chlld, care for Lhem and relaLe Lo LhaL chlld's parenLs.

As parL of Lhe adulL equlpplng Lrack, when addresslng dlsclpleshlp, lmplemenL a chlldren's
dlsclpleshlp Lrack for parenLs Lo do wlLh Lhelr chlldren (see Llvlng WlLh !esus by uaphne klrk). 1hls

"1wo W|ngs" for the Ch||dren

Chlldren need Lo experlence Church boLh Lhrough:

1hls musL lead by someone who ls experlenced and glfLed for Lhls.

1hls could be when chlldren are encouraged Lo brlng Lhelr frlends. 1hey can pray for Lhe

1he followlng provldes some guldellnes for you Lo adapL Lo your slLuaLlon:

What |f the Same Adu|t Cannot Lead the Ce|| Lvery Week?

SomeLlmes adulLs roLaLe ln Lhe chlldren's mlnlsLry because of clrcumsLances. ldeally chlldren need
Lhe conLlnulLy of Lhe same people/person buL lf Lhls ls noL posslble Lhen, Lhlnklng relaLlonshlp," Lhe
followlng could be an answer:

3 adulLs (A. 8. and C.) commlL Lo one cell, Lhls ls Lhelr group of chlldren. 8eLween Lhem Lhey are
responslble for bulldlng relaLlonshlp wlLh Lhe chlldren and Lhelr famllles, buL ln a coordlnaLed way.

Weeks 9 - 12 person A ls responslble
Weeks 12 - 13 person 8 ls responslble
Weeks 13 - 18 person C ls responslble, eLc.

ln Lhls way Lhere ls overlap and co-ordlnaLlon so Lhe chlldren have a smooLh relaLlonal change from
one person Lo anoLher. Also Lhe leader can Lake Lhe group forward smooLhly.

1hls leadershlp may:
Make changes Lo LhaL rosLer for holldays, personal clrcumsLances, eLc. so long as Lhere ls
always Lhe week overlap.
Make declslons on who wlll lead Lhe group dependanL on facLors, e.g. a Loplc may be
lnLroduced LhaL one leader has a hearL for and Lhey may declde LhaL he/she Lakes Lhe group
LhroughouL LhaL Loplc.
Pave speclal Llmes or evenLs when all Lhe leaders are presenL.
Pave clear agreed ways Lhey wlll all work. l.e. Approach Lhe chlldren, dlsclpllne, rouLlnes, eLc.
All meeL aL leasL once durlng each roLaLlon Lo pray and Lalk Lhrough lssues LhaL may have

20
keep clear reporLs Lo send Lo each oLher and Lo Lhe senlor chlldren's mlnlsLer afLer each

menLallLy. 1he language Loo conveys Lhls: e.g. Leacher, class, lesson, grades, graduaLlon, currlculum,

no adulL changes groups or asLors because Lhey have reached a cerLaln age, or aLLends anoLher
deparLmenL" of Lhe Church because Lhey had promoLlon aL work! ?eL chlldren have relaLlonshlps

1hose who mlnlsLer Lo chlldren very ofLen say l was [usL geLLlng Lo know Lhe chlld and Lhey wenL up

Ideas and 1houghts for the Iuture

lour weekends aL regular lnLervals Lhrough Lhe year where Lhe chlldren:
1. Afflrm Lhelr salvaLlon, undersLand abouL repenLance and Lhe prlce LhaL !esus pald.
2. undersLand abouL freedom ln ChrlsL and how Lo llve ln LhaL freedom.
3. undersLand Lhelr responslblllLy for Lhe CreaL Commlsslon and are equlpped Lo wln
Lhelr frlends.
4. undersLand and experlence more of Lhelr local Church.

Pold a 1hree-uay 8lble school for chlldren who wanL Lo know more.
lor example:
8elng LaughL abouL Lhe Labernacle maklng a model of lL ln deLall.
undersLandlng Lhe robes of Lhe prlesL and maklng Lhelr own.
llndlng ouL abouL hlsLorlcal evldence for 8lbllcal 1lmes and maklng Lhelr own arLlfacLs.

Pold regular fun Lralnlng days for chlldren wanLlng Lo lead Lhelr own cells. Where posslble ask Lhe
parenLs Lo be presenL for Lhls so Lhey can supporL Lhelr own chlldren. MosL of Lhls day should be
experlenLlal.

Pave regular sesslons for chlldren who are new bellevers so Lhey can go Lhrough baslc prlnclples.

Always be aLLenLlve Lo Lhe facL LhaL chlldren, llke adulLs, have dlfferenL needs and are aL dlfferenL
sLages ln Lhelr splrlLual growLh (noL educaLlonal growLh!). Some are noL saved, some are on flre for
!esus, some have a loL of 8lbllcal knowledge and some have none. 1hey cannoL be puL LogeLher and
hope every need ls meL. Cells wlll help buL Lhere may need Lo be Llmes Lo meeL speclflc needs.

1oday's chlldren are a generaLlon for mlsslon.
Pow can you geL Lhe Cells lnvolved ln mlsslon?
Pow can you glve Lhem a hearL for Lhe unreached and persecuLed?
Pow can you help Lhem Lo have a hearL for Lhe losL?

1oday's chlldren are a generaLlon for prayer.
Pow can you blrLh a llfesLyle of prayer?

1oday's chlldren are Lhe 8rlde of ChrlsL.
Pow can you encourage Lhem Lo llve uncompromlslng llves ln Lhe mlddle of a generaLlon LhaL

1oday's generaLlon could be an end Llme generaLlon
Pow can you equlp Lhem Lo be as !ohn Lhe 8apLlsL and prepare Lhe way for !esus?
