Kids for the Kingdom Annual Report 2025

ANNUAL REPORT
2024
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom
of heaven belongs to such as these.” -Matthew 19:14

Kids for the Kingdom is transforming the
living conditions and spiritual lives of children
around the world so they can transform their
communities for Christ

Dear Ministry Partners,
Every week at our Friday prayer time, Kids for the Kingdom’s directors
from around the world join us and share their prayer requests. They
often share stories about the people they are ministering to in their local
communities. Not long ago, Kids for the Kingdom’s national directors
in China, David and Angela, shared a story with me about a young girl
they were ministering to named “Tong Tong”. Tong Tong is a Chinese
name that is full of joy and is a playful repetition of the word “tong,”
which means “whole, complete, or all.” But Tong Tong has cerebral
palsy and might not seem “whole” in most people’s eyes. Her physical
and cognitive abilities are impaired, and she has the mental capacity of
a very young child. When I visited, she was working hard trying to walk
on her own by holding onto a wall or other objects to steady herself.
Our local team has been ministering to Tong Tong as well as her mother
who struggles to care for her daughter because of her reduced mental
and physical faculties. When I first met Tong Tong, she was very shy
and wouldn’t make eye contact, but she quickly warmed up to me and
was soon giving me a big hug goodbye as she and her mother made
their way home. I have had the privilege of meeting children like Tong
Tong all over the world. Each one is special and each one is created
in the image of God. Kids for the Kingdom’s directors work tirelessly
ministering to these little ones that Jesus describes in Matthew 25:40
as being “the least of these brothers and sisters of mine” - the poor,
the hungry, the thirsty, the downtrodden, and all of those who are in a
vulnerable state due to physical or mental ailments. This past year, with
your help, Kids for the Kingdom continued to answer Jesus’ call urging
us to help “the least of these.”
Your gifts, support, and prayers helped us bring practical aid, and the
healing, life-changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to so many
precious little ones. Thank you for partnering with us so that together we
can change lives like Tong Tong’s all over the world!

CLEAN WATER
PROJECTS
“With joy you will draw water from
the wells of salvation.” - ISAIAH 12:3

41,066 KIDS JUST LIKE SAMUEL ARE
DRINKING CLEAN WATER THANKS
TO KIDS FOR THE KINGDOM’S CLEAN
WATER MINISTRY!
Meet my friend Samuel from Kenya. In his
small village, there is no clean water
source for drinking. The local river
is dirty and diseased. People use
it for everything from laundry, to
bathing, to drinking - which leads
to further pollution of the water.
SAMUEL, KENYA
Women and children have to walk for miles to find clean water. Because
of the time-consuming hikes to fetch water, Samuel couldn’t attend
school and his mother was unable to work and provide for their
family. For this reason, many families like Samuel’s would simply risk
drinking the dirty water from the nearby river. But this year, everything
changed in Samuel’s village! Kids for the Kingdom’s National Director in
Kenya, Rev. David Maina, brought a team to drill a brand new water well in
their village. The new well produces clean water and provides a nearby source
of drinking water for the people of Samuel’s village and surrounding areas. The
people of the village take ownership of the running and maintenance of this well
that will serve their community for decades to come! As the well was dedicated,
Rev. Maina shared the Gospel message with everyone in attendance. Each
time someone draws water from the new well they are reminded that ‘Jesus
is the living water.’ Kids for the Kingdom’s teams bring hope and life-giving
clean water but most importantly, hear the truth of the Gospel Message,
along with the practical aid of a new water project. Clean water projects can
impact over one thousand children and vulnerable people with a relatively
small investment from just a few hundred dollars for a water tank all the way
up more complex systems that help entire villages.

BIBLE
CLUBS
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and
do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven
belongs to such as these.” ! MATTHEW 19:14

KIDS FOR THE KINGDOM
BIBLE CLUBS AROUND
THE WORLD HAVE
REACHED 328,390
CHILDREN JUST LIKE
ISABELLA THIS YEAR!
ISABELLA, COSTA RICA
Meet my friend Isabella from Costa Rica! In Isabella’s neighborhood,
there was no safe place for kids to gather and play safely. Five years
ago, that all changed. Kids for the Kingdom’s National Director in
Costa Rica, Ana Cecilia, saw a need for children’s programs. She
organized a local Bible Club that Isabella could attend and meet
other kids just like her. What started with only a few children has
now grown to a group of over
150 kids! Ana Cecila has found
leaders to run Bible Clubs in
four other communities too! At
the Bible Clubs, children gather to learn about the Bible, share a
nutritious meal, do crafts, play games, and take part in other activities!
Ana Cecilia knows that children have a hunger to know God’s word,
and they are uniquely situated to absorb the truths of the scripture.
Kids for the Kingdom’s teams around the world organize Bible Clubs
just like the one Isabella attends. Our teams love to make learning
about the Gospel fun and entertaining!

WORLD SO THEY CAN TRANSFORM THEIR
COMMUNITIES FOR CHRIST

FEEDING
PROGRAMS
“Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever
comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever
believes in me will never be thirsty.’ ! JOHN 6:35

Meet my friend Nikhil from Nepal! Nikhil is from a Hindu family
like most kids in Nepal. Several years ago, his father left the
family, which makes it very difficult for his mother to provide for
them. Sometimes, Nikhil doesn’t have food all day. This year,
Kids for the Kingdom’s National Directors David and Mariya
saw that this was a need for many local families and started
a Bible Club and Feeding Program to help take some of the
burden off of the families. Nikhil began attending the weekly
program in April with many other children from his community.
Each week, children come and receive a hot, nutritious, Nepali
meal such as Momos (Potstickers) and Chao Chao (Chow
Mein). Just like here in Nepal, Kids for the Kingdom’s teams
from all over the world combine Feeding Programs with the
sharing of God’s Word! Children are provided a nutritious
meal to fill their tummies and the Word of God to fill their
hearts. With a simple feeding program, Kids for the Kingdom
meets both those needs at the same time.

their own hands, that they may have something
to share with those in need.” ! EPHESIANS 4:28

ANYA, PAKISTAN
Meet Anya. She attends a Kids for the Kingdom Vocational
Training Program in Pakistan. Kids for the Kingdom’s National
Directors Shahzad and Irum saw the need for vocational
training for girls and women many years ago, and the program
has grown every year since. Anya and other girls come and
learn sewing, tailoring, and repairing typical local clothing.
Once trained they can make a living working from home
and care for their families while sewing and tailoring.
Kids for the Kingdom’s other vocational training
programs around the world have produced
architects, computer science experts, carpenters,
mechanics, jewelers, and more.

TEAM VISION 2025
ANA CECILIA AMADOR
Our vision for the coming year is to help children
grow in their faith as well as enable them to provide
for themselves financially. We want to develop
strong Christian values; teaching them to live lives
that honor God and others. We hope to reach more
children for Christ every day through our Bible Clubs
and Jewelry Vocational Training Program.
Costa Rica
DAVID & ANGELA WANG
In the coming year, we are dedicated to the spiritual
growth and personal development of children. We
plan to start several mentoring programs that will help
each child deepen their faith, improve in academic
performance, and grow in confidence. We will also
establish three community childcare centers to aid
family support this year.
China

SHAHZAD AND IRUM FATEH
Canada, Pakistan
& Sri Lanka
Our vision for this year for Pakistan is to strengthen
communities through the Sewing Center for Women
and the Bible Club. Our commitment to bringing
refugee aid in Sri Lanka also remains strong. We want
to help those who have received their refugee status
and are in the process of resettling in other countries.
We also plan to organize evangelistic and Bible Club
efforts as well as refugee aid here in Canada.
CARLOS & MARIBEL DE LA ROSA
El Salvador
Our goal for our ministry this year is to train and
educate children so that they can learn to enjoy
the blessings of the Kingdom of God. We will
accomplish this through the church we shepherd,
as well as through our ministry programs to our
neighborhood children and youth. We offer Bible
Clubs, Feeding Programs, Vocational Training,
and Community Outreach.

JOSEF & MARIA PRENNINGER
We are increasingly witnessing how kids
become more involved in our programs
as they grow older. Our goal for this year
is to empower our youth with greater
responsibilities, helping them to develop
in their roles and become the leaders of
tomorrow. The political situation in Europe
is very tense. During these times, it is more
important than ever to be a light, bringing
hope, love, and peace to our community.
Germany
MARK AND THERESA WINKLER
Germany
Last year, God enabled us to start 10 new Kids’
Clubs in partnership with local churches across
Germany. One of our primary goals for the coming
years is to expand these programs so that children
everywhere in Germany have the opportunity to
participate and hear the word of God. By the end
of 2025, we aim to double the number of Kids’
Clubs from 10 to 20. In Berlin, we hope to secure
a facility to launch a second indoor Kinderdstunde.

ALVARO & LETY PERDOMO
Our vision is to reach the local community
and the children and people of the “Rat’s
Nest” neighborhood near our Church. We
are committed to continuing our programs
faithfully, supporting thousands of children
throughout Guatemala. We trust that, with
God’s help and the continued support of our
partners, we will achieve even greater goals
for the benefit of those who need it most.
Guatemala
BERNARD & GIFTY ASARE
Ghana
In 2025, our focus will be to expand our programs in
the communities we serve. Our goals are to provide
more frequent feeding programs, to strengthen our
educational sponsorship programs and increase
personal engagement with the children, to launch
an after-school program to assist children with
academic work, and to revitalize our Bible clubs. We
are excited about the opportunities ahead and look
forward to making a lasting difference in the lives of
the children we serve.

SAM & PREMA SUNDER
This year we are focusing not on the numbers
but on the spiritual growth of our kids. We want
to present the Gospel through our Bible clubs
and give opportunities for children to know and
trust in Jesus. We are also aiming to train more
volunteers from children who accept Jesus and
grow up in our Bible clubs. We also want see our
children in our after-school programs flourish
academically. We aim to see our ministry to
tribal communities grow by training up people
in those communities as leaders.
India
DAVID & SARAH MAINA
Currently we have 8 Children’s Centers that serve a
total of 695 children. Our goal across all these Centers
in addition to our other projects is the same. Whether
it’s through our Orphan Homes, Feeding Programs,
Education Programs, Vocational Training Projects, or
Clean Water Projects, our vision for 2025 is to provide
a safe and nurturing environment, teaching the Word
of God, and preparing children for adulthood to the
glory of God.
Kenya

JESSE HARA
Malawi
In 2025, our vision is to strengthen and expand,
equipping children with both spiritual and practical
skills, ensuring they grow in faith while also gaining
skills that will help them break the cycle of poverty. We
will work to expand our Bible Club to mentor more
young people, we will strengthen our feeding program,
enhance vocational training, and conduct evangelism
outreaches to share the Gospel. We are most looking
forward to seeing young lives transformed, empowered,
and deeply rooted in Christ, equipped to make a lasting
impact in their communities.
DAVID & MARIYA PRASAIN
Our vision for 2025 is to establish another Bible club
location in Nepal. We also want to bring more aid
to the children in our current Bible club. We minister
in a very poor area where the kids are unable to go
to school because they cannot buy school uniforms,
books, pencils, and afford to pay the tuition. Our
goal is to start a sponsorship program that will
enable twenty of these children to go to school. We
are also actively seeking land to buy for our church
so that we can more easily serve the community with
our own building as a ministry center.
Nepal

MARIO JOSE
Nicaragua
Our vision for 2025 is to strengthen the family unit,
provide quality education, and teach Christian values.
We will bring the Word of God through Bible Clubs and
Feeding Programs as well as provide a well-rounded
education in our school. We want each child to know the
love of Christ so they can positively impact their friends
and families and grow up to be better fathers, mothers,
and citizens. We know that by reaching more children
for Christ, we can transform future generations.
RODIVER & VICTORIA BARERRA
Our vision for the coming year is to get
children into the Word of God more and
to help them grow spiritually. We are also
nurturing our new Sports Club Program
to teach Christian values through sports.
Children and teens will learn skills like
character development, christian values,
discipline, commitment, team spirit, personal
growth, and community involvement.
Nueva Guinea, Nicaragua

VALODIA & NATASHA BOGOMOLOV
This year we plan to continue our outreach to
families of disabled children. We will also hold
meetings with widows and mothers of sick
children in order to find out how to better help
them. We pray for the opportunity to continue
helping children from boarding schools
and orphanages as well as to continue our
construction project in the mountains this year.
Russia
INNOCENT & DONATHA
Rwanda
Our 2025 vision is to raise a generation of children
who are spiritually, emotionally, and cognitively
healthy. We will provide Bible teaching at each of our
programs. We plan to recruit and train Children’s
Ministry teachers and aids. We will strengthen our
partnership with parents and caregivers through
meetings and prayer groups. We will organize Bible
clubs and Feeding Programs. For needy families
we will implement Social Welfare Programs, Health
Services, and Housing Assistance. We also plan to
start several self-sustaining projects like Vocational
Training and Income Generating Activities (IGAs).

GARANG & TABITHA CHAN MAJOK
Our vision for 2025 is to continue with and
expand the ongoing feeding programs in our
three locations as well as to establish one more
feeding center. We hope to drill more boreholes
in locations where there is a great need for clean
water. We will implement more relief projects for
the many lives facing starvation and disease. We
also plan to construct a primary school because
there are no classrooms. Children are taught
under trees which is not conducive to learning
due to the sun, wind, dust, and rains.
South Sudan
ESTHER MKANDAWIRE
Zambia
Our vision is to create a community where children are
valued, protected, and empowered. We aim to create a
safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for students to
thrive and improve the quality of their education to reach
their full potential. We will engage with local leaders as well
as families. We will continue to support our community by
employing people within our community. We will involve
children in decision-making processes and listen to their
concerns. We plan to provide training, coaching, and
mentoring programs. And we will always encourage a
culture of learning, reflection, and improvement.
