Kids in Ministry International<br />

<strong>Day</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Prayer</strong> <strong>for</strong> Israel<br />

What We Believe<br />

Kids in Ministry International, Inc. desires<br />

to bring awareness to children and adults <strong>of</strong> how<br />

God views boys and girls as partners in ministry<br />

and functioning members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />

Our intent is to teach, train, and equip<br />

children to do <strong>the</strong> works <strong>of</strong> Jesus and release <strong>the</strong>m<br />

in <strong>the</strong>ir spiritual giftings and callings. There<strong>for</strong>e<br />

we feel it is imperative <strong>for</strong> us to teach, train, and<br />

equip adults to minister to children, instructing<br />

<strong>the</strong>m how to mentor and activate kids in <strong>the</strong><br />

things <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Spirit. The goal is to help boys and<br />

girls find an active place in all areas <strong>of</strong> ministry<br />

and to inspire <strong>the</strong>m to become functioning members<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> Christ while <strong>the</strong>y are still children.<br />

Those areas include evangelism, missions,<br />

<strong>the</strong> gifts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Spirit, worship, prayer, healing <strong>the</strong><br />

sick, and much more (Luke 4:18).<br />

We are convinced that anything <strong>of</strong> and by<br />

<strong>the</strong> Spirit God has <strong>for</strong> adults is also available to<br />

children. It is our opinion according to <strong>the</strong> Scriptures<br />

children are fully capable <strong>of</strong> participating in <strong>the</strong><br />

gospel. This includes salvation through <strong>the</strong> blood<br />

<strong>of</strong> Jesus, <strong>the</strong> baptism in <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit, water<br />

baptism, communion, operating in <strong>the</strong> gifts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Spirit, and any o<strong>the</strong>r scriptural doctrine or concept<br />

when <strong>the</strong>se things are taught simply and on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

level <strong>of</strong> understanding.<br />

We believe childhood is <strong>the</strong> time God<br />

designed <strong>for</strong> people to accept <strong>the</strong> gospel, and we<br />

must all become as little children to receive <strong>the</strong><br />

kingdom <strong>of</strong> heaven and that He places great value<br />

on <strong>the</strong> salvation <strong>of</strong> children (Mat<strong>the</strong>w 18:1-14).<br />

Kids in Ministry International, Inc. believes<br />

<strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> Christ has a mandate from<br />

heaven to teach children <strong>the</strong> Word <strong>of</strong> God and to<br />

exhort <strong>the</strong>m to become doers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Word and not<br />

hearers only (John 21:15, Deuteronomy 6:1-9,<br />

6:20-21).<br />

We believe children are a part <strong>of</strong> God’s<br />

end time army and <strong>the</strong> “great commission” <strong>of</strong><br />

preaching <strong>the</strong> gospel to all nations, laying hands<br />

on <strong>the</strong> sick, raising <strong>the</strong> dead, speaking in tongues,<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r areas <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> believer’s ministry fully applies<br />

to born again children as well as adults (Mat<strong>the</strong>w<br />

28:19-20, Mark 16:15-16, Acts 2:16-17).<br />

We believe according to scriptural example<br />

(Judges 16:26, Mat<strong>the</strong>w 2:2-7) children will play<br />

a major role in ushering in <strong>the</strong> last great revival<br />
