New Year Re-focus

Dear Kidstown Friends,

As we enter 2014, we can with anticipation look forward to what God has in store for us!  He is at work, and He is asking us to join Him! 

Any successful business-man, marksman, or fighter-pilot knows that a clearly defined objective is key to success.  Same holds true for us at Kidstown.  And, the good news is that God has indeed given us clear focus and a specific objective! 

1. Reach out and help orphans in practical ways.  This is the backbone of what we are about here at Kidstown.  Providing for food, clothing, shelter, medical attention, education, and one-time needs.  Also befriending the children and praying for them.  This is the compassionate facet of our “objective”. 

2. Share Jesus with them and help them to grow in their faith.  In addition to giving children a “cup of cold water”, we also want to give them the “Living Water”!  We want them to know Jesus, accept Jesus, and grow deep in their walk with Jesus.  Prayer is key to this process…something each of us can do!   This is the evangelistic facet of our “objective”.

3. Recognize their potential of being salt & light among their own peoples…and then pray for this!  God loves these kids, wants to see them helped in practical ways, and wants to see them know and grow in Him.  But He also wants to send them out as His witnesses in their own societies and among their own peoples.  As we pray in this respect, we agree with Matthew 9:38, and with confidence we can believe God to answer.  This is the missional facet of our “objective”.

Compassionate…Evangelistic…Missional.  This is what God has called us to be, and the objective which He has challenged us to achieve. God wants to do great things FOR, IN, and THROUGH orphans!  Let’s join Him!

God bless each of you this New Year 2014!
