Report <strong>for</strong> <strong>Kingdom</strong> <strong>Coffee</strong> from Vive Foundation (Funky Frog Project), Colombia<br />

Thank you again, <strong>Kingdom</strong> <strong>Coffee</strong>, <strong>for</strong> your financial support.<br />

This year, your donation allowed approximately 50 Children’s<br />

Club leaders <strong>to</strong> attend Vive’s annual circus training event, held<br />

in January.<br />

Every year, two or three leaders from each of Vive’s 40+ Funky<br />

Frog Projects come <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>for</strong> five days’ training in how <strong>to</strong><br />

run a camp <strong>for</strong> the children in their club. The first three days<br />

are taken up with training and preparation <strong>for</strong> a circus, which<br />

is put on <strong>for</strong> the children in the local community at the end.<br />

The theme this year was the 10 Commandments, as an<br />

expression of God’s character and his love <strong>for</strong> us. Previous<br />

themes have included God, the Good Father, Jesus, our<br />

Treasure, and Peace (how <strong>to</strong> have peace with God and <strong>to</strong> be<br />

agents of peace in the world).<br />

Local Facilita<strong>to</strong>r, Rafael,<br />

makes an impressive Moses<br />

Over 100 leaders met in a place called Majagual, in the north of Colombia. They were divided<br />

in <strong>to</strong> groups responsible <strong>for</strong> different parts of the circus event: preparation of the dramas,<br />

presentation of songs from the stage and worship, working in groups with the children,<br />

preparing challenges, and a group which taught the 10 Commandments.<br />

The children were divided in<strong>to</strong> groups, each with two or three leaders who spent some time<br />

with them after each drama, helping them <strong>to</strong> understand the message. Each group was given a<br />

country that is going <strong>to</strong> participate in the football World Cup and some prayer in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

about ‘their’ country.<br />

The 40+ Funky Frog Children’s Clubs work with over two thousand children in the north of<br />

Colombia, in areas that have been badly affected by the country’s long-running civil conflict. As<br />

the peace process with the FARC rebels begins <strong>to</strong> take effect, the work of the church in raising<br />

the next generation of peace-loving children is more necessary than ever.<br />

Thank you again <strong>for</strong> your partnership in our work.<br />
