Children’s Ministry Team to Visit UK

Six NCU students have been selected for a Children’s Ministry tour to England and Ireland May 14-30, 2008 with Dan Rector, Assistant Professor of Children’s Ministry, and his wife Nancy.

The team will be spending their first week with Great Britain Children’s Ministry Director Steve Williams and the second with missionaries Brent & Lori Enget in Ireland. In both countries, they will serve in school and church programs, kids’ rallies, and training of workers. Of significance in Ireland is the fact that there is no existing children's ministry currently operating; this team will actually be creating and implementing one there.

Rector’s team has received approval as a 2008 BGMC project from the National BGMC office in Springfield, MO. The $4000 worth of equipment and supplies they are bringing (e.g. puppets, puppet stage, costume characters, etc.) - thanks to donations by various Minnesota children's ministries and NCU - will be left with the various churches they minister at.

The students participating in the trip are Denise Malone, Brittany Jacobs, Ryan Fesser, Troy King, Sadie Smith, and Brittany Thiemke. To find out more about the trip and the team, click here.
