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.
Human beings do things for their own reasons and as such, you need to know the reason why you want to help people. It could be because someone helped you in the past or you saw someone being raised and they go a good life. It could be anything but even then, make sure your reasons are strong enough to support the idea.
The question that you need to be asking yourself is the number of children you will be able to support. It is not always wise to pick a large number at once because you may strain ahead. The number of children you can support will be based on how much money you have placed aside for helping them. You can start with a small number and then raise that as you go along.
There is no way a ministry can survive without money. Well, finance seems to be the only answer to every question that human beings have, and in that case, you need to know your source of funds. You can ask for a helping hand from your local church, from the junior church staff meeting or seek for sponsorship. Make sure you have a great proposal in place so that your donor-funding search may become a success in the end.
What you intend to start should solely be for the purpose you have started it. Some charity organizations are reported vile, corrupt and greedy because they have turned their mission from helping children build their future to using them to earn money for their own satisfaction. If you are going to help, make sure you help and if you have some other plans, stop and look for something else that suits your desires.
Learn to see the future. While it is not going to be easy all through, you must learn how to give the best kind of services to the children in question. Because you are going to be doing it free, always get in touch with donors to help you support the children. Remind them not give up on the ministry you have started, at least for the sake of giving these hopeless young ones a hope for the future.
If you want to run a successful childrens ministry, you must have a permit from the government. This is a just a way to make sure that you are doing something legal in the sense that the state authority recognizes it. However, seek guidance before starting anything.
