ANNUAL
REPORT

Kids for the Kingdom is transforming the living conditions and
spiritual lives of children especially in third world and war-torn
countries so that they can transform their nation for Christ.

Message from the Executive Director
Dear Ministry Partners,
Thank you for your prayer and support for Kids for the Kingdom this past year. Your continued,
generous financial support enabled our national indigenous teams in 17 countries to minister
to 175,816 needy children, families, and widows. Each one heard the Good News of the Gospel
message at one of Kids for the Kingdom’s feeding programs, Bible clubs, orphanages, clean
water projects, disaster relief centers, schools, medical clinics, or one of our many other
outreach programs and project centers.
Almost two years ago Kids for the Kingdom received a donation that will enable us to cover all of
our administrative overhead and send 100% of your gifts directly to each of our projects. We are
now even more able to partner with you in bringing practical aid in one hand and the Good News
of the Gospel message in the other hand to those most in need around the world!
Timothy Dabel
Executive Director
Kids for the Kingdom, Inc.

in 17 countries around the world

Kids for the Kingdom
Clean
Water
Projects
A typical water well can be installed by Kids for the Kingdom’s
teams for $3,908 and can provide clean, safe drinking water
for thousands of people over the course of the 20 year
lifespan of the well.
In developed countries, we often take clean, safe
drinking water for granted. But in much of the world,
clean water is virtually impossible to obtain. People
in those areas are forced to bring dirty, disease ridden
water home to drink and cook with. They constantly
worry if they are making their children and families
sick with the water they draw from muddy puddles
and streams. Kids for the Kingdom takes a unique
approach to helping supply people to clean, safe
water. Each community applying for a water
well provides the manual labor to help install the well
- and houses and feeds the drilling team. After the
well is in, the beneficiaries are required to set up
a board of directors to oversee the water well and
collect a small fee from each user. This empowers
the local community to take ownership over their
water well and provides a small fund to maintain and
repair the well as necessary. A partnership with Kids
for the Kingdom creates a relationship of equals
and gives communities ‘skin-in-the-game’ by
allowing them to participate in the work, giving them
ownership of the project.

Kids for the Kingdom donor and D.I.R.T. project founder Joshua Salvaterra
smiles as he visits the water well he funded over 7 years ago. The well is
still in operation at the local school providing hundreds of children with
clean, safe drinking water every day.
One of the greatest needs in developing countries is a reliable source
of clean drinking water. 1 in 10 people lack access to clean, safe water.
Dirty, disease ridden surface water drawn from streams or ponds
carries dangerous water-borne parasites. As each new water system
is dedicated our team leader tells the village people the story of Jesus
talking to the woman at the well. “Jesus told the woman at the well that
when she drinks from the water in the well she will thirst again. However,
Jesus says, ‘Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst again.’
This ‘water’ that Jesus offers is the gift of eternal life.” This is the Gospel
message in uncomplicated terms. Each time someone draws water
from that well they are reminded that ‘Jesus is the living water.’
60,022
people are currently benefiting
from clean water provided
by projects funded by
Kids for the Kingdom.

Bible Clubs
In 2019, thousands of kids made a decision for Christ at one of Kids
for the Kingdom’s 101 Bible clubs in villages, pocket slums, and back
alleys around the world.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you with My eye upon you. - Psalm 32:8

At Kids for the Kingdom’s Bible club in Germany, over 100 local German children mixed with refugee kids
from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq hear the Gospel Message each Friday.
In Kenya, 952 children receive a hot meal with fresh fruit along with the Good News of Jesus each week.
In India, 3,927 children hear the Gospel Message and receive a hot, nutritious meal each week.
In Zambia, 1,610 children receive quality education along with a daily Bible devotional and a nutritious meal.
...He said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. - Mark 10:14

Kids for the Kingdom
Feeding
Programs

One of Kids for the Kingdom’s first projects was a feeding program in La Concha, Nicaragua.
“We were running a school and realized the kids weren’t able to focus on their schoolwork, but
because their families were too poor to feed them breakfast, they came to school with empty
stomachs.” says Kids for the Kingdom Nicaragua Founding Director Mario Aviles, “we knew
the hardworking people of the village wouldn’t want their children receiving a handout, so we
required every child at the school feeding program to bring 2 sticks of firewood as ‘payment’.
The firewood was used to cook their ‘free’ breakfast.”
Kids for the Kingdom has adopted the ‘two-sticks-of-firewood’ principle at its feeding programs
around the world - in India, children bring 2 rupees (just a few cents), in Kenya, the children must
bring two pieces of litter from their community, in Zambia, children help bring in supplies, and
clean their own dishes after the meal. At each location, children learn the important lesson that
the meal is not a handout, it is earned. Teaching the Biblical principles of hard work along with
the truth of the Gospel is a core value of each of Kids for the Kingdom’s feeding programs.
In 2019,
60,022
children were provided
full, nutritious meals
each week
Those who work their land will have abundant food… - Proverbs 12:11

Irene
MY TESTIMONY
Hi, I’m Irene from Accra, Ghana. My family has very
little, I don’t know my father, he left when I was very
young. My mother takes care of me and my sisters.
One day, Rev. Bernard, Kids for the Kingdom Ghana’s
National Director, came to my house to bring food
and supplies for my family. Rev. Bernard told me
that a little girl from the United States had saved her
money and sent $40 to help my family with food and
supplies during the coronavirus pandemic. It just so
happened that the day he brought the food was my
birthday. Rev. Bernard was even able to set up a video
chat with the little girl so we could say ‘thank you so
much!’. It was such a wonderful birthday present,
more than I ever could have imagined I would receive
for me and for my family. Thank you Kids for the
Kingdom for helping make my birthday so special!

OUR TESTIMONY
In Germany, Kids for the Kingdom National Directors
Josef and Maria Prenniger and their family have
been ministering to underserved youth in Berlin’s
Hellersdorf community with a Bible club they call the
‘Kinderstunde’ each Friday. Every member of their
family participates in some way or another. Now,
their oldest daughter Theresa is continuing the family
tradition of ministry with her new husband Mark.
Theresa and Mark are the next generation of Kids
for the Kingdom team members. Mark came from a
Christian background and loves children’s ministry as
much as his wife. When he and Theresa got married,
they teamed up to take the lead on the Kinderstunde
each Friday. Both Mark and Theresa are dynamic,
committed, caring people who love children and care
deeply about each one and their ultimate salvation.
They want to teach the kids who Jesus is, that He
died for their sins and loves them so much that he
was willing to die on the cross for them. In order to
reach the kids, they’ll do just about any number of
wacky things including dressing up as a chicken or
even a banana just to get the message through.
Not long after Mark and Theresa took over the
Kinderstunde, they were faced with a new and unique
challenge - Germany was admitting thousands of
refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other
middle eastern nations and the team realized they
needed to find new unique ways to minister to
children who had just arrived in their nation and
barely spoke any German at all. Mark and Theresa
and their entire family met the challenge head on
and started ministering to those children right at the
refugee housing and in their own neighborhoods. Just
a year ago, Mark and Theresa welcomed their new
son Samuel into the world who will likely follow along
in his families’ footsteps and help in the ministry to
further the Gospel message around the world.

& Theresa
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the
oppressed.Take up the cause of the fatherless;
“plead the case of the widow. - Isaiah 1:17

Vocational Training
& Self Sustaining
Programs
All of the children in Kids for the Kingdom programs -
schools, orphanages, feeding programs, and Bible Clubs
- will eventually grow to become adults. They will all need
a viable job skill to support themselves and their families
and help break the cycle of poverty.
High schoolers in Guatemala city, Guatemala get computer
training in the computer lab built by Kids for the Kingdom.
Because of the need for vocational skills Kids for the
Kingdom is constantly working to create job-training and
skills-training programs for youth. In recent years
job-training centers have been established and expanded
in nine countries. Kids for the Kingdom constantly
develops new job-training programs and identifies
national workers to run the programs. Once established,
many of these programs will allow the individual to
run their own business and bring in needed income to
support themselves and their families for years to come.
Kids for the Kingdom’s vocational training programs
have produced architects, computer science experts,
carpenters, beauticians, and many other careers for
children in our programs.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our
hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands. - Psalm 90:17
