In Matthew 9:14, “Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” – so this week, the leaders, Amon and Godwin, along with the Rwentanga lay reader are visiting families, who have children not in school. These are children who for financial reasons are in school and are found in our trading center when their friends are in school. The leaders will meet the parents and invite the children to participate in Harvest Hands football league for Christian leadership development…its our goal to seek out the children who are marginalized and include them as well.

Rwentanga Kid’s Camps – in July, we held two, one day kid’s camps for a total of 120 children from the surrounding villages. The kids were part of the soccer league’s discipleship program, and Harvest Hands brought them together on two successive Saturdays for careful study of God’s word to strengthen the children’s identity in Jesus and to know the security of their place in God’s kingdom. …in Matthew 9:14, Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children”. At the camp the children found a place of unconditional love and acceptance, that was fun and safe. …at the camps, they learned that Jesus wants them with him and he is able to care for and protect them.
