Local Teams

Here's a photo of the extended family of King's Kids during our commissioning service in October. This year youth from 22 churches stretching from Horizon City to Las Cruces are involved in our local teams.

 

The 9-13 year old Junior Team has finished several weeks of training and will do their first outreach this month, with 29 kids going to a nursing home to minister to the elderly people there.

 

Last month the Senior Team participated in a city wide youth conference  in El Paso. Our team taught seven workshops on Godly relationships, abortion, worldviews and religions, worship, using arts for God,  purity and the persecuted church. They also performed choreographed music and drama for the conference. We'll go to a much larger conference in Los Lunas, New Mexico in January and do the same workshops again.

 

In December the Senior Team will reach out at the plaza in downtown El Paso to  Christmas shoppers, families and homeless people. We'll use Christmas carols, hot chocolate and cookies to draw in the people and then present the Gospel message.

 Spring Break OutreachesAt this time we are not taking any young people into Mexico due to violence between the drug cartels in Juarez. This year Spring Break Outreach, which is a major part of our ministry to youth and families, will be held in El Paso with a great new direction the Lord has given us. We already have groups from California to South Carolina coming as well as local church youth groups from El Paso. Groups will choose from seven different outreaches offered each day, and at night we'll have worship and ministry to draw kids close to the Lord. Track                                                     Morning Training/Preparation                                        Afternoon Outreach                                            1.  El Paso Colonias - VBS                  Go directly to project site                                                   Children’s ministry including: games, crafts,                                                                                                                    Bible teaching, sports, etc.. 2.  El Paso Colonias                             Go directly to project site                                                   A variety of construction projects (painting,Service Project                                                                                                                      cement, etc.)  3.  Evangelism                                       Teaching on different forms of Evangelism,                    Going to public places, like the Plaza Down- including the use of the Evangicube, tracks,                  town, malls, and parks to evangelize using  salvation bracelets, and personal testimony                   tools from the morning training session          4.  Serving the Poor                             Biblically based training on our responsibility               Working at a homeless shelter, rescueto care for the poor and briefing on how to                     mission, opportunity center, etc.relate to the homeless 5.  Foreign Missions                            Teaching on missions need and opportunity                 Prayer visits outside local Mosque and                                                                           through out the world (including world                           Hindu Temple                                                                religions, cultures and the 10/40 window) 6.  Strategic Prayer                               Teaching on the seven spheres of societal influence    Strategic and creative prayer  journey to                 (Family,  Business, Government, Church, Education,   significant places of influence including:                  Arts/Entertainment, Science/Technology) and the        government offices, university campuses,      role Christians play in influencing culture                               religious sites, city overlooks, and more                                                                                                 7.  Take a Stand/Pro-Life                     Teaching on developing a Biblically based                     Silent prayer protest at abortion clinics and response and understanding of personal                        Planned Parenthood centers, writing letters responsibility relating to American social issues,          to congressmen to impact social policy,Abortion will be uses as the primary example.                helping the Crisis Pregnancy Center  Yvette Returns to India 

I’ll be returning to India this Christmas to work with King’s Kids Calcutta and my very good friend Loch.  Loch is the director of YWAM Calcutta and the shelter ministry to street families. The Shelter provides meals, literacy education, and Christian discipleship for children whose families are among the poorest of the poor living on the streets of Calcutta.  There is even a night shelter that provides a safe place of refuge for young girls to sleep and be ministered to.  Christmas is a very open time to minister and a time of great need for workers. 

 

After recent developments in India, it is evident that this is a very critical time for this nation that is predominantly Hindu and has a very large and expanding Muslim population.  India is among the nations of the world where Christians a being persecuted, discriminated against, and even killed.  These things are not sanctioned by the Indian government but in practice still occur.  This return trip to India was planned long before the eruption of persecution that happened in late summer and the attacks over Thanksgiving, but I am amazed at and confident in God sending me at this time.  I believe that in addition to the practical ministry I am going there to pray.

 

I’ll be leaving on December 17 and returning on January 30, just about six weeks.  Please pray with and for me and if you would like to help financially,  checks can be made out to and sent to King’s Kids with a note saying Yvette – India Outreach.  Thank you and I’ll see you all in February.
