  1. CHILDREN’S CHE Jody Collinge Global CHE Network

  2. Why is Children’s CHE important? • Give some statistics: • Half of the world’s population is less than 18 years old. • “The 4-14 Window”: Children between 4 and 14 years of age are one of the largest unreached people groups. • During the next 20 years, nearly 5 billion children will be born. • If all the children between 5 and 11 years of age held hands, they would encircle the globe three times.

  3. Why is Children’s CHE important? • Think of some practical reasons: • Most Christian workers came to know Christ as a child. • Children learn rapidly and are more open to changes than adults are. • The Biblical truths and the health habits that they learn will become the foundation for their life as adults. • The children can be an example for their families and friends. • Children have many special needs.

  4. What is the Biblical basis for this? • Children are a gift of God. • Psalm 127:3-5 • Children can praise God. • Matthew 21:15-16 • In order to enter the Kingdom of God, we need to become like children. • Mark 10:13-16 • Jesus loves and cares for children. • Mark 9:36-37 • We should bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. • Ephesians 6:4, Proverbs 3:1-2

  5. Children of the Bible: • Samuel (1 Samuel 1-3) • David (1 Samuel 16-17) • Naaman’s servant (2 Kings 5:1-17) • Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael y Azariah(Daniel 1) • Jesus (Luke 2:41-52) • Timothy (2 Timothy 3:14-15) • Moses (Exodus 2) • The children who came to Jesus (Luke 18:15-17)

  6. What are the basic principles of community health evangelism? How does this apply to Children’s CHE?

  7. Teach children in an integral manner—mixing Bible teaching, health stories, English, and working on community projects. Training should be dynamic and interactive. Children will show their family, friends and neighbors what they have learned. Integration Participatory learning Multiplication Children’s CHE Principles

  8. Children will apply what they learn in their homes and communities. They will also work on community projects. They work together with other CHEs and with a committee. Development Community ownership Children’s CHE Principles

  9. Practical Questions • Who can serve as trainers? • CHE trainers • Teachers or coaches • Parents and grandparents • Youths and young adults • Older children can mentor younger kids (Child to Child Program)

  10. Practical Questions • Who can serve as the committee? • An established CHE committee • Community leaders • A school or church committee • A committee of youths or older children who are experienced in CHE

  11. Who are the CHEs? • All of the children can be CHEs. • Or the older, more experienced children may be named as CHEs. • They have many of the same roles as traditional CHEs: modeling and sharing what they have learned, and working on community projects.

  12. Steps to Start CHE

  13. Community-Based CHE

  14. How does this apply to Children’s CHE? • What would you do? • You have an established traditional children’s program in one community, but would like to have it expand into a full Children’s CHE program. There is no adult CHE program nearby. • You are still building relationships here, and some adults are hesitant to get involved. However, the children come running and are eager to learn.

  16. What are some children’s programs which could become Children’s CHE? • Sunday school classes • Kids’ clubs • Sports ministries • Bible clubs • School programs • Within families • What other ideas do you have?

  17. As you are entering a new community you meet many children, but the adults are busy working. How can the children be involved in entering the community? Children can tell you about their community. They can do PLA activities to investigate the community After the school screening, they can work to improve their own health. A children’s program can open the way for a CHE ministry. What would you do?
