Summer Outreach in Germany - Light for Germany (Germany)
You will be working with an international team but also together with a local church in running a holiday club. Our aim is that this outreach will give the ongoing ministry - in a socially needy district of Greifswald - a boost. We will run a one week programme with the kids - do various activities, games, sports and creative stuff. Besides giving also a spiritual input, we will also seek to establish relationships to the parents.
Our main goals are: Being a light in this neighbourhood, introducing Jesus to the kids and their parents, providing a fun time for kids who usually don’t have many highlights, raising the self esteem of the kids, supporting the kids to develop skills like concentration, coordination, etc.
Since the circus theme worked last year as an excellent tool to reach our goals we will continue to run a circus theme programme in 2012.
With us you can get involved in evangelism, kids ministry, prayer walking, social action, building friendships, etc.
