To reach God's children through His love and Word, teaching them that all life’s questions and trials are answered by Him, through His Holy Word and prayer. Motto… “Go To God” The mission of the “Come Talk About It” Groups will be accomplished by:
Monthly small group gatherings where children (age groups 6-18) feel safe and free to discuss concerns they know will stay within the group. Icebreaker activities for each specific age group designed to create a safe place. HLOM devotions based upon Scripture and personally written for the prayer needs of each specific group. Praise time: Participants are made aware that God always gives blessings and answers prayer. God’s Answer: A Scripture verse is written in response to each prayer request. The HLOM God’s Answer card is attached to the Prayer Request card and placed back in the child’s envelope to be returned to them at the next meeting. Daily prayer for every child and his/her prayer need. Materials Used... “Come Talk About It" Devotionals A short devotional is used every time a group meets. The devotionals are written by staff and volunteers of HLOM. They are broken up by age groups to meet the needs of each age group. Prayer Request Card Prayer Request cards are given to each one attending the “Come Talk About It” meetings. Every child is encouraged to write a prayer request they would like the “Come Talk About It” leaders to pray for. The prayer cards are given to them in an envelope with their names on it to ensure what they share is confidential. God’s Answer Card God’s Answer cards are used after a prayer request card has been filled out. The leaders or prayer team are responsible for seeking God’s answer for each prayer request. His Word – Scripture – is written on the God’s Answer card to reinforce our mission that “all of life’s questions and trials are answered by Him, through His Holy Word.”
“Come Talk About It” Testimonies “I just want to tell you how much it means to me that you come here. You all make me feel so loved. I want to feel loved.” (After receiving a small blue N.T. Gidieon Bible the week before) “I just love that Bible you gave me. I keep it by my bed. I really like the help it gives you in the front to find a verse for a specific problem. I have never seen one like that before.” (After receiving a returned Prayer Answer Card) “Wow, this is great!” “Knowing someone cares really matters.” “I’ve kept every devotional I’ve been given. They are in a folder.” “All thy children shall be taught of the lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.” – Isaiah 54:13 NIV |
