As a Kids Ministry leader, you are in a unique category. You often work in an area of ministry where the people you are ministering to do not know how to communicate their gratitude to you. You need to know a few things:
Most parents are truly grateful for the positive influence you are in their childs’ life. They may not say anything and may seem to take it for granted, but deep down they are nothing short of grateful. You also need to know that most kids DO hear what you say and are listening and are letting it all sink in, gaining knowledge and wisdom from what you impart. You are in a position of influence of some of the most precious commodities in the entire universe, someone’s child. Further, those kids you invest in are invaluable to not only their parents but also to the King of kings. The time that you faithfully spend changing diapers and wiping noses is sewing directly into the Kingdom of heaven and are done for His purposes. Every chance you have to touch the life of a child is a seed planted into their heart and a huge impression on their future.
Remember the Lord keeps good records and you are earning your rewards in heaven. Thank you for all you do, Kids Ministry Leader.
