From the 30th to 31st of January, fifteen Children’s Ministry teachers from five communities across the nation gathered at Livingstone House for a two-day Teachers’ Training. We were also grateful for the presence of our National Director, Bogdan P., whose support encouraged and strengthened the gathering.
The purpose of this training weekend was simple but significant: to help deepen connection among teachers, renew our shared vision and to provide practical support for local Children’s Ministry teams.
Building a Thriving Ministry
Across four interactive sessions, teachers reflected on how to build a thriving and sustainable Children’s Ministry in their communities. Discussions focused on supporting Blessed families before and after the Blessing, improving the quality and consistency of children’s education, and exploring outreach opportunities such as national expos and interfaith events.
A special highlight was the sharing of the Heavenly Mother curriculum and creative activities being developed for children. Teachers were introduced to the Children’s Ministry Box which is a developing practical resource designed to support local teams.
The conversations were open, collaborative, and filled with practical ideas that participants can now take back to their communities.
While the training strengthened unity and direction, it also worked to highlight areas requiring further development, particularly in strengthening structured communication with pastors.
Raising Our Safeguarding Standards
The second part of the training focused on safety and professional development through a full First Aid certification course.
We are proud to share that 13 participants are now certified First Aiders! This significantly strengthens safeguarding standards within our Children’s Ministry nationwide and increases teachers’ confidence in responding to emergencies.
Moving Forward Together
This training marked an important step forward as it strengthened relationships, clarified our national vision, and equipped teachers with practical tools to better serve our young Blessed children and their families.
We are deeply grateful for the dedication, heart, and commitment of all who participated. Together, we continue to build a Children’s Ministry that is spiritually grounded, professionally responsible, and filled with HP’s and TP’s love!
We cannot wait to see how Children’s Ministry will develop further throughout 2026.
