THE CHILDREN’S MINISTRY MISSION
The Mission of the Children’s Ministry is to assist our church planters on the field to take the gospel to children by providing information to their supporters, by offering them on-the-field training, by encouraging others to help meet their financial needs, and by getting Christian materials into their hands. It is our purpose to offer the best training and materials to our pastors and church planting partners around the world so that children can have the correct, inerrant, biblical information to develop a truly biblical worldview. Pray and ask God to help us keep the Children's Ministry true to its mission. Let us keep the children out of the reach of those that would give an error-filled worldview. |

Mark 10:13-16
13 And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And He took them up in his arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.

Joan Farley
Joan was born into a missionary family where she heard the gospel from the time she was born. At five years of age, she trusted Christ as her personal Savior. After a time of doubt as a teenager, she recommitted her life to Christ for His service in whatever way He should choose. After college, she spent a number of years in Mexico, Guatemala, and then the Philippines before returning to the U.S. to become the director of a children’s ministry for a local church. She then spent a couple years in Canada teaching Christian education in a Bible college. During that time, she met her husband, Charles Farley, and they were married in 1998.
