Key Features
Hope for Kids: Empowering the Next Generation to Share the Gospel
Hope for Kids equips children’s ministry leaders to confidently share the Gospel with young people in a way that is engaging and easy to understand. Leaders qualify by attending a two-and-a-half-day accredited workshop at a local church and committing to train at least 20 children each year for the next three years.
The programme focuses on three key goals:
-
Clearly explain the Gospel to children
-
Guide children to faith in Christ
-
Equip children to confidently share the Gospel with others
Interactive Learning for Young Minds
Hope for Kids presents the core message of Christ through an interactive, child-friendly format. The curriculum incorporates multiple learning styles—auditory, visual, kinaesthetic, and tactile—making the lessons both fun and impactful. Children engage through games, songs, skits, drama, discussions, object lessons, and crafts, which not only reinforce the teaching but also inspire them to share their faith from an overflow of joy and enthusiasm.
Versatile and Adaptable Curriculum
With 12 engaging teaching units, the programme is versatile and suited for various settings, including local churches, kids’ clubs, camps, holiday programmes, and even Christian schools. It’s also a great fit for uniformed groups like ICONZ or Girls’ Brigade. Designed for ages 7–10, the curriculum is flexible enough to be adapted for younger or older children as needed.
Workshop Details and Resources
Workshops are held across New Zealand, and participants receive a comprehensive set of resources, including a Teacher’s Book, a Children’s Activity Book, and a storybook titled Pathway to Hope. The workshop fee is $50.00, and churches whose leaders complete the training and agree to disciple 20 children over the next three years receive free materials for their ministry. Each child in the programme will receive their own Activity Book and 10 Pathway to Hope booklets to share with friends.
Through this initiative, we are committed to empowering children to share their faith confidently and joyfully, planting seeds of the Gospel that will grow and flourish.
