Made for Greatness!

June 14, 2017

We all want a GREAT life! You might consider yourself to already have a great life, or you may think your life isn’t so great and never will be. That’s what’s so great about God’s Word…it trumps any thoughts or feelings we experience. God has an amazing plan for your life and the lives of the kids in your class and ministry. His plans encompass both who we are to be and what we are to do. The purpose of the “Made for Greatness” series is to help kids discover what true greatness is and how we can live the great life God has planned. I love Dr. Tim Kimmel’s definition of true greatness: “A passionate love for God that demonstrates itself in an unquenchable love and concern for others.” In Children’s Ministry at the IPHC General Conference, we want kids to know that God thinks about them, plans amazing things for them, and has some things He wants them (and all of us) to do for Him, their families and friends, and the world around them. Can you imagine a generation of truly great people who know that a great God made them on purpose for a great mission? They could actually change the world! 

Matthew 28:19 (NIV) says, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” This verse is known widely as the Great Commission. Jesus issued this challenge moments before departing earth for Heaven. He wanted the Church to know without a doubt that it’s our job to reach the lost. Missions matter to God. We want the kids at this conference to understand and know that it’s our job to go out into the world and share the love of Jesus. This mission may take them anywhere from next door to across the globe. Kids will travel with Paul and Barnabas through their first missionary journey and see firsthand the challenges and blessings that missionaries experience. Our prayer is that this series will challenge kids to reach outside of what they know and embrace the world around them. We believe that this series will encourage kids to answer the call to become missionaries right now in their communities.
