"...Kids don't need to wait until adulthood to encounter God's Word".

Samuel Ndacayisaba, a Sunday School teacher at Guérison des Âmes – Gitega, shares how evangelism teachings have transformed children in his neighborhood.

"I have always had a passion for teaching children, because I realized that children's ministry is often neglected. Children are sometimes set aside and taught songs simply to keep them from disturbing adults, as if they do not need the Word of God. In 2018, I participated in an evangelism training program for children called 'Hope for Kids.

In 2020, I began teaching children at church. It was not easy at first, as I was not sure they would grasp the teaching well, but I kept pressing forward. The children loved it, and we began to see a tremendous change in our neighborhood. We started with 30 children, and the class grew to 50. The numbers increased through evangelism outreach in our neighborhood. We then formed another class of 30, followed by one of 40. Through consistent outdoor evangelism (On-the-Job Training), the Sunday School Ministry grew to 150 children. We are now training others. We have seen a real change in the children's behavior; they love learning the Word of God and sharing the Gospel with their peers.

We praise God, who alone has enabled us to reach this point. I am investing in children because they are the leaders of tomorrow. When children grow up grounded in the Word of God, it is a blessing to the family and to the nation."
