May 8^th saw the start of something new for Kids Ministry within Acts Churches NZ.  This day was the day that the dreams and visions of Kidmin leaders around that country started to be realised.  This was the start of a network of leaders sharing their joys, their struggles and their passions for the Children of our movement.

The morning was two years in the making but when it all finally came together it went off with a bang.  We talked, we laughed, we cried, we shared our visions, our struggles and our passion for what we do every week with the children we encounter and throughout the day friendships where formed that will enable us to continue through the hard times that we all face a children’s leaders.

This was the start but there is much more to come.  We have started a Database of Kids Leaders and will be running training events and leaders days throughout the country over the coming year so look out for info because we would love to connect you with others.

This is our chance to be connected to work together and stand together, to build into the lives of the kids in our movement the leaders of today.
