400 Seventh-day Adventist children’s ministries leaders from Papua New Guinea have been trained and equipped to disciple, inspire and involve children in church life.
The leaders were attending a children’s ministries expo organised by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Papua New Guinea and supported the Adventist Church in the South Pacific. The last expo in the region took place more than five years ago.
Held in October, 14 presenters from both the PNG and the South Pacific office shared experience, information and resources with delegates in 168 workshops over a period of six days. Delegates learned about children’s spiritual development, worship, health and evangelism.
Pastor John Kembu composed an original song bearing the title of the theme of the expo, “Tell a child, tell the world”, while Pastor Matupit Darius, communication director for PNG wrote a poem.
“It was wonderful to see mission directors, local church leaders and lay people who have a passion for children attend the expo,” says Ms Litiana Qiosese, associate children’s ministries director for the South Pacific.
There are plans to organise similar training events at local missions throughout PNG. “This will create more opportunities for participation with less cost as the training will be conducted much nearer to where people are,” says Ms Nagamisovo.
