I have a preposition to make with anyone who wants to help me.
So I was thinking of building a website for Sunday School teachers (kids 12 and below). I want it to be a little like the Our Daily Journey or Our Daily Bread websites and gather Children Ministry Pastors, Teachers, Creative, Talents, and Volunteers to write short lessons and songs about anything that can be taught to the children - free of charge.
WHY? The Children's Ministry is one of the most needed Ministry in a church. But, with my observation (in many churches, not just ours), the real importance of it is not truly emphasized nor understood. I want to help out in making people aware of how important it is. The Children's Ministry is just as important as any kind of ministry. Maybe a different part of the body but just as important to keep the body alive.
I want to put together a website where it will help anyone who wants to start, or improve their Children's Ministry. It's not an easy thing to do. Which is why all the teachers in the world who's willing to contribute to the furderance of Christ's kingdom need to come together and help out! Jesus welcomed the children, and so should we.
I am a volunteer and now in charge of our new church's Children's Ministry. It's only been 2 weeks so I guess having one volunteer is actually a big blessing already. I am actually planning to create our own curriculum that I feel (with God's help) is fitted to the kids in our church. I'm still getting to know the children so so far though it's a bit stressful, it's been such a wonderful experience. Without any help from my Director back when I was an assistant in the ministry, the Christian Education deacon, and many seminars about Childrens Ministry, I would be so lost in what to do. But some people won't have a Tita Precy, an Ate Sheila, nor afford to attend a seminar. And because I was blessed with the opportunity to have these things, I'd like to contribute... =)
I'd like to clear this that I don't want it to be branded as a single church's work... so I won't brand this as a TICC website. I just want some sort of a collaborative work to anyone who helps. This isn't something that I'd like to do NOW, maybe later... but it's a bit of a long term career goal? Or I should say a long term ministry goal.
I'm putting this here now maybe just to remind me of how I feel at this very moment... and to remind me why I'm here... and why I love what I'm doing. I guess this is a letter for me when one day I feel frustrated and want to give up.
