Director’s Remarks

Matthew 19:14 Jesus said: “Let the little children come to me…”

“Jesus was ever a lover of children. He accepted their childish sympathy and their open, unaffected love. The grateful praise from their pure lips was music in His ears, and refreshed His spirit when oppressed by contact with crafty and hypocritical men. Wherever the Saviour went, the benignity of His countenance, and His gentle, kindly manner won the love and confidence of children. In the children who were brought in contact with Him, Jesus saw the men and women who should be heirs of His grace and subjects of His kingdom, and some of whom would become martyrs for His sake.” Page 511- The Desire of Ages

Welcome to the Gulf States Conference Children’s Ministry Webpage! It is our prayer that you will have a dynamic program in your church, to instill an exciting faith in our children. As the Children’s Ministries Coordinator, Assistant, Teacher and parent, you have the opportunity to impact the kids in your church and help them develop into strong, spiritual leaders of the future. But remember, growing an exciting faith, demands a lot of prayer and preparation.  Let’s provide opportunities for the children to develop a relationship with Jesus, lead and participate in the

faith of their community, and use their gifts and talents serving others.
