Earlier this year, our leaders felt God led them to start a children's outreach in a nearby village. With a desire to share the love of Christ, they began gathering children each week for Bible stories, worship, prayer, activities, and a nutritious snack.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6706\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/526d2cc8-4349-4c61-b2ae-eafb20a97a87.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6706\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6706 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/526d2cc8-4349-4c61-b2ae-eafb20a97a87-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A group of children sitting on the ground eating food\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/526d2cc8-4349-4c61-b2ae-eafb20a97a87-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/526d2cc8-4349-4c61-b2ae-eafb20a97a87-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/526d2cc8-4349-4c61-b2ae-eafb20a97a87-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/526d2cc8-4349-4c61-b2ae-eafb20a97a87.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group of children sitting on the ground eating food<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>The Response was Immediate<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Within just two weeks, attendance doubled as more children eagerly joined the program.
