children and youth

In Armenia, the local Kids Club has been a place of growth, support, and faith since 2004. The program meets in the church building each week and serves 45 children between the ages of 6 and 18, reaching a total of 70 families—225 people in the community.

More than just an after-school gathering, the Kids Club provides clothing, school supplies, hygiene items, food, and even medical support to children and their families. Camps, home visits, and a variety of weekly activities are also part of the program.

“What do you do there?”
“Is there really that much need?”
“Who is welcome?”

These are the questions most often asked about Little Lamb’s Compassionate Ministry Center (LLCMC). As Executive Director, I have answered these questions countless times over the last 21 years, and I will continue to answer them wherever and whenever they are asked.

My first answer is always to invite folks to come experience us in person in Flint, Michigan.

 

When speaking of Japan’s top tourist destinations, Kyoto is always mentioned. The very word “Kyoto” brings to mind shrines, Buddhist temples, and a city where traditional Japanese culture and architecture are alive.

Kyoto is also home to two public aquariums: Kyoto Aquarium and Kyoto Hanazono Church Aquarium.

In Jordan, several churches are meeting community needs through creative and compassionate ministry.

 


 

GARDENS CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

 

Tucked into the hills above Chile’s rugged coastline, a small Nazarene church is quietly making a big difference in their community.

“Sometimes all you need is one person to change the world,” says Pastor Lorena Noé.

For children who have experienced displacement and hardship, a stable learning environment provides hope and opportunity. The Church of the Nazarene in Jordan partners with Nazarene Compassionate Ministries to develop schools that serve as a refuge for students seeking knowledge, stability, and a brighter future.

Through the safety and consistency found in these schools, students not only gain academic skills but also find encouragement, community, and a deeper understanding of God’s love.
