Starting a childrens ministry is a great idea if you have a heart to help hopeless kids to build a hopeful future. However, it is not all going to be an easy thing per se. There are several things, which you must think about even before you can go ahead to start this up.
Take time to diagnose yourself, see if it is just a mere feeling you have or an actual calling to serve. One of the most important questions to ask yourself is about the number of times you have interacted with a child who is not your own. If you have been in a position to come together with several kids on a regular basis in church or in the street ministries, feel free to move with the plan.
Know the reasons why you have made up your decision on starting such a big mission. Talk to several people, who can help you evaluate your reasons to see if they are valid and valuable or just ordinary. Again, talk to your family members to see if they are for the idea or not and if they are in, they may be able to offer a helping hand in one way or another.
You need to know the number of kids you can put under your care and offer support. Again, think about whether you are going to provide them a home or you are just going to pay them a visit in their respective places. Do not start with a large number at a go. Start with the least value possible and then increase the number later on.
You will need money to support kids, and it is not going to take you 24 hours to set up a real time running ministry. Sit down and think about where to get funds. Shop around for volunteers; people with the same heart as you, and present them your proposals and see if they can help. Seek sponsorship because there are people out there who are always willing to help.
It is always important to be yourself because it is only the best way through which you can service efficiently. The problem is that most charity organizations turned to benefiting from children rather than helping them realize their hope for the future. This is actually not right and if you were going to serve with greed, it would be best if you did something else.
It is not always going to be easy, but then if you learn to see the future the journey will always be smooth for you. If you have been helped before by a charity organization, then you already know how important it is to give back to the society. When you help others, hoping that they succeed, they definitely will.
While planning your childrens ministry, seek permit from the State government. This is the only sure way to make what you are doing legal. Make sure you get a permit before starting over.
