Entering the World of Children

Does your organisation, church, community, or school want to grow in its understanding and practical outworking of God’s heart for children?

‍Entering the World of Children is one of our courses that is presented within a partnership context.

We first listen to your unique needs (consultation process), and then we formulate a strategy (strategic planning) that fits your vision and unique context. This usually includes our three official partnership training courses (Entering the World of Children, Helping Children Grow in Faith and Entering the World of Families) and any specific needs-based training that is identified during the strategic planning phase.

During the strategy implementation, we build competencies for your staff or ministry team through training to eventually help achieve a multiplication stage where participants are trained as future trainers.

Process:

To enter the world of children, you have to learn to speak their language of play and storytelling. With that, an attitude of humility, love, and great respect for children and their parents will help you gain their trust. When you practice these attitudes you will grow in your understanding of Jesus. 

Each training day consists of demonstrations, discussions and practice, after which you go into the community to apply all you have learnt. You also learn from the community, because you learn from experience.
