Children's Ministry

In the school holidays IVCM churches run Vacation Bible Schools (VBS) in May during the holidays. Telling children the truth of the gospel is a vital part of God's calling for the future of the church so we are committed to building a strong foundation about the love of God and the teachings of the Bible through these programs. Each year thousands of children attend a VBS where they learn verses, choruses and songs whilst taking part in recreational activities. Wherever there is a village with an IVCM pastor a VBS is conducted and many non Christian children also attend. Please pray for the thousands of children and youth attending these VBS programs. Pray that they will hear the gospel message clearly, that they will be open to work of the Holy Spirit and that they will make a commitment to follow Christ.

At other times we hold special meetings for the older youth by hiring a hall in the local town and inviting churches to bring their youth along to attend these one day events. This outreach encourages the young people and brings them together to learn so they do not feel isolated when it comes to their faith. It's also a good opportunity to evangelise their non Christian friends
