Kids Helping Kids

Kids Helping Kids

Covenant World Relief & Development partners with other Covenant organizations and ministries for specialized projects. One notable example is the Kids Helping Kids, formerly called the Children’s Service Project. Kids Helping Kids resources enable us to partner with children on their spiritual journey to:

  • Fulfill Christ’s commandment to love God and our neighbor
  • Foster a larger kingdom view,
  • Provide a shared faith experience to build community
  • Learn from the faith stories of other children around the world
  • Reflect and share their own stories of faith and what it means to respond thoughtfully and responsibly to other children’s stories

Refugees Around the World

Refugees are our neighbors—they may live close to us or on the other side of the world. Right now more than 65 million people are displaced from their homes, and more than half of the 22.5 million refugees are under the age of 18. This year Kids Helping Kids hopes to bring children closer to this global issue and illuminate ways they can make a difference.

After a Disaster

Disasters can strike anywhere but are most devastating in locations where there is a lack of resources and infrastructure to help people through them. And the devastation affects millions of children every year, and often carries on to the next generation of children. This year Kids Helping Kids addresses the need for responding to the world’s disasters with tangible help and support.

Peacemaking

Conflict is a worldwide problem. It comes in a variety of forms and affects millions of children. This year Kids Helping Kids addresses the need for peace among friends, family, religions, warring factions, hurting mothers, refugees, tribes, persons with disabilities, people in poverty, those who are persecuted, and those faced with disasters. Although the need is great, Kid’s Helping Kids provides hope for a way forward.

Clean Water

A child dies every twenty seconds because of a lack of access to clean water and sanitation. This is a worldwide problem and the need is so great it can seem overwhelming. But there is a way for the children in your church to make a significant difference across the globe.

Prior to moving to the USA, I was a professor at the National University of Colombia and served with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Colombia for 16 years. Starting in 2001, I served as InterVarsity National Staff in the USA. I have a master’s degree in Christian Ministries, and I serve in Spiritual Direction to those who want to be fully present and available to God and receive His grace over them. My joy is to see professors and college students coming to know Jesus and being transformed into people that bring the good news of righteousness and justice to others.
