Kids for the Kingdom Annual Report 2019

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.
