Spring Break Outreaches 

About 175 kids, parents, youth leaders and Christian school teachers stretching from Los Angeles to Corpus Christi joined us for a week of Spring Break Outreaches in El Paso.

 

This was a challenging Spring Break to plan because we held it in the US due to the Juarez violence situation. All of our contacts from 60 previous week long outreaches are south of the border, so we started from scratch with new plans for food service, lodging, transportation and ministry locations. It was complex and time consuming, but the plans worked. We appreciate our hard working staff so very much!

 

Every morning the kids and adults split into groups for training in various areas of ministry, then went out in the afternoons to act on what they had learned. This combination of training and doing fits right in with King’s Kids foundational message of helping youth to live out their faith. The areas included construction, children’s ministry, prayer, serving the homeless, street evangelism, Christian activism and world missions.

 The Lord blessed us by making all of the new arrangements work out, and we are so grateful for His faithfulness. It was a very fruitful week! 

A Vacation Bible School in a South El Paso neighborhood brought local kids to hear the Gospel and meet the Lord.

   

Each night worship led youth and adults into God’s Presence.

    

There was an amazing response at the altar every night. Usually it takes kids a day or two to respond to invitations to surrender their lives to Jesus and draw close to Him, but this time they were very open and we saw much weeping, personal ministry and commitments to the Lord.

   

One of the many prayer times around the city was a private meeting to pray with Mayor John Cook in his office!

   

Pastors Perez and Medina appreciated the construction we did on their churches, building a Sunday School classroom and other jobs.

 Spring Break Testimonies

We always have kids and adults fill out an evaluation form. Here are some of their answers (and their spelling).

 List some of the things you learned about God and your relationship with Him.
  • “He will always love you no matter how many mistakes you make in your life.”
  • “He has a plan for me and I’m excited!”
  • “I finally devoted my whole life 100% for God.”
  • “I loved the whole thing but my favorite parts were watching the little kids ask Jesus into their hearts and serving the poor.”
  • “God really changed my attitude.”
  • “I wasn’t as close to God and this was a HUGE wake up call.”
  • “I need to surrender every part of my life to Him.”
  • “The single most emotionally and spiritually moving day of my life was Monday.” –an adult
  • “I understand more about how desperate the world is for Christ and God used that to touch me because I am called to be a missionary.”
 Would you participate in another outreach with King’s Kids?
  • “Hek yes! It’s life changing”
  • “Definitely because this outreach helped me open up to God with my whole heart.”
 Local Teams

The 9-12 year old Junior Team will have a pretend mission trip to several countries including India, China, Mexico and the inner city, part of the preparation for when they are older and we actually take them to those places.

 

The teenage Senior Team will have an evangelism training session and then go to a skate park to share the Gospel this month.
