Darrell and Sandi
Blatchley founded an incredible ministry called Family Circus. Located in the Philippines, this Circus Tent
creates high impact, joyful methods to present the Gospel to children and to
their families. The purpose is to bring
the life and joy of Jesus, combining both discipleship and evangelism, to reach
lost children, while ministering to the needs of the child, both spiritual and
physical. Each week 5-6 thousand people of
all ages attend the church services held under the “Big Top’ in the center of the densely populated Davao
City. Many are malnourished. Some are pregnant. All are provided free dental care, food
assistance, vitamins & first aid.
Scripture memory and dramatized sermons are the foundation of each
service and prayer lines are always open.
A
government official from Davao City’s food and drug office recently inspected
Family Circus, a children’s outreach developed and directed by missionaries
Darrell and Sandy Blatchley. As she toured the campus, the official was amazed
by the ministry’s tents, dental lab, food distribution center, fishpond and
gardens. “I’ve never seen anyone help children like you do,” she said.
There is a plethora of resource information available on their
website at www.familycircus.org from
aquaponics to child evangelism manuals.
If you are building, increasing or starting a children’s ministry this
information may be pertinent to your needs.
Child
Evangelism Manuals
These manuals were
created in the Philippines by the Family Circus Children's Ministry team to
help with the churches' biggest challenge - to bring in the King’s Tender
Harvest.
We recognize that some churches do not have the financial resources found in other more developed countries. As a result, the lessons are hand-tailored to be reproduced in remote areas as well as in larger cities. Each lesson is designed to be used both in churches, and on the street.
If you have a heart to reach the children, these manuals are for you. Perhaps you have found working with children to be an intimidating, tiring task, not knowing how to do it. These manuals are intended to be your friend. If you follow the patterns, you will find a new excitement, as it becomes clear that the children are reachable. You can do it and have fun at the same time.
Our prayer is that you will find these manuals to be a very useful tool in helping children to come to Jesus.
