Kids Ministry event brings Lautoka families together

A Kids Ministry event held over the weekend at Lautoka Hotel brought together children and families from the local community in a warm and welcoming setting.

The programme reflected strong family values and community spirit central that are central to Fijian culture, with activities designed to engage children while encouraging positive values.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus volunteer group leader Peni Nabaivalu said the session focused on the biblical story of Adam and Eve, shared in a simple and child-friendly way.

“Through this story, children learned about God’s creation and important values such as obedience, responsibility and decision-making,” he said.

“The message was shared with care and encouragement, helping children feel loved and valued.”

He said a short drama performance opened the programme and kept children actively engaged, with children and volunteers working together to act out the story and entertain families.

The event also featured a doodle drawing activity, allowing children to express their creativity through simple drawings and colours, while creating while also creating opportunities for parents and children to spend time together.

“Our Kids Ministry offers free Bible story teaching and character-building activities to help children develop positive values and grow in faith and moral understanding,” said Mr Jo Faga.

The Shincheonji Volunteer Group will return on Saturday with free theme-based lessons, and parents and children are welcome to attend.

Following two earlier community clean-up activities, the group continues to serve the community through initiatives focused on children and families.

Organisers said the Kids Ministry aims to support children’s healthy growth in a loving, caring, and encouraging environment, and is open to all families regardless of background or denomination.

Through ongoing community activities, the volunteers hope to contribute positively to the wellbeing and unity of the Lautoka community.
