Living God Church, Chennai, India Christo & Sarah Emmanuel

ChennaiKids are huge part of the work here in Chennai

- in fact, it was through Children’s Ministry that
the now 200-member Church was started. Our
community is packed with children
- many of them living in abject con-
ditions and poverty (about 20% of
Chennai’s population live in slums).

Yet despite the overwhelming circumstances children face here, the Lord is truly doing something
special among them! Every Saturday Living God Church hosts ‘Kid’s Club’, an outreach program
that draws Children from every religion and social standing. Started in 2005, many of the kids
who began faithfully attending the fun-filled, evange-
listic outreach are now plugged into the church, have
received Jesus as their Savior and are being trained as
leaders!
As more and more children fill up the outreach programs and con-
nect with the Church, we knew that they needed solid teaching
and encouragement in their new walk with Jesus. So in the past
year, ‘Kid’s Church’ was planted within the church campus. More
than 60 children crowd the separate meeting hall each week on
Sunday mornings. Furthermore, in the past months 3 Kid’s Cell
Groups have been planted in different areas of the community with
as many as 20 community kids
attending each group. Many of the children (especially from other religious
backgrounds) who would normally be forbidden to attend any sort of program
within the church, freely come and witness the love of Christ. It is our goal
to see these hubs of discipleship and evangelism planted in each street of our
community, making a great impact on this upcoming generation!

We are so thankful for what the Lord is doing throughout the year in children’s
lives! In celebration of this, Living God Church holds an annual, 7-day VBS
in May that attracts more than 300
community kids. Packed with wor-
ship, dance, drama, puppet shows,
craft work, Gospel-oriented teachings and many more exciting
activities, VBS is one of our greatest opportunities to reach kids
within the community with the good news of Jesus. This year we are
expecting nearly 500 kids and hope to conclude
the week-long fun with an open-air celebration
within the community.
This is where we need your help! With a
great vision for the Kids of Chennai, our
financial needs have also substantially in-
creased. We are asking you this year to be a part of this amazing outreach by financial-
ly supporting our upcoming VBS. With expecting 500 children at a cost of about $10/
child (Lesson materials, craft supplies, prizes, snacks, day-outing, community celebra-
tion and other general expenses for 7 days), we are in need of $5,000! We can’t do VBS
without you - please consider generously supporting our Chennai Kids!
