There’s no way to know how God will use the seeds planted in the hearts of the next generation during the Kids Conferences this year! We keep having fun, singing songs, and sharing God’s word.

For 2024, we invited kids to be ON A MISSION! During the event, we talked about the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10) and how we can be on a mission to share God’s love in action. We talked about how Jesus invites us to be fishers of people – how we can share God’s love through words and invitations. And we talked about the Great Commission – mainly how Jesus promised to be with us to the end of the age! You can’t live on a mission unless you have the power of Jesus at work in you!

Thanks to the team for Edwardsville 2024!

Kids responding at the closing time — our theme verse was John 20:21 – [Jesus] said to them again,^l “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”

Just as Jesus was sent to us, he sends us out in the same way! Children were invited to declare — spend time praying and responding to God’s invitation. They did, praise the Lord.

So grateful for the resources provided to Harvest Ministry to allow us to serve in this way! Over the years, we have acquired a 30-foot inflatable, a puppet stage, a bunch of puppets, and a slew of people who join us in serving, praying, and supporting.

Thanks to the Peoria Team – March 2024

Curt, Ryan, Josh, Erin, Tim, Courtney, Kristin, Suzanne, Macy and Ruby! And thanks to Lily and Peoria First for hosting!

We’re also grateful for the many songs that we have been privileged to write, lead, and sing. We typically write one for each year’s theme. Here’s our list of this year’s songs and the Harvest originals have an * next to them.
