Kidz Alive Event

Happy Kidz


It was excellent getting together with the Kidz alive children on Saturday. Their enthusiasm, laughter and zest for life were a pleasure to see. They really enjoy getting together to have fun! We had a wonderful time during praise and worship which was led by our budding leaders. It’s fantastic to see how the children are so willing to play the drums and shake the tambourines. It was beautiful!

We then separated the little ones (Tiny Tots) who sat and listened to a story shared by Nosimilo Ncube – our Family Champion. They also had a sing along time and games. The older children (Y-Zone) had some balloon competitions before playing soccer and netball. They had a fun time and it was amusing seeing the faces of the children whose balloon burst as they were blowing it up. The children received “noise makers” and they sure did make lots and lots of noise. Its wonderful seeing children being children and enjoying themselves.

Christina Smestad from America volunteered to help at the Kidz event. She is part of a team that are here in Zimbabwe to minister at the Theological College of Zimbabwe in Greek and Hebrew.

Simangaliso Ndlovu ended our session by telling the children a story from Chronological Bible Storying. The children listened attentively. I realised yet again just how important it is for children to fellowship together and share God’s word at a tender age. Children need so much love, attention, support, encouragement, direction and so on. We look forward to the next Kidz Alive Event and to Crossroads School’s Ministry coming up shortly.
