Hi everyone,

For the past two weeks, Don, Chris, and Julie (Don’s daughter) were in Porto, Portugal launching K.I.D. for the entire Euro-Africa Division. The trip began with a Train the Trainer event (Nov. 30 – Dec. 2) with 12 trainers representing Portugal, Belgium, France, and Germany. God led during those few days as the trainers learned how to lead their own K.I.D. University presentations and then actually present them during K.I.D. University (Dec. 3 – Dec. 6). During K.I.D. U we had 12 teams representing various countries (France, Switzerland, Portugal, Austria, Luxembourg, Romania, Italy). God blessed with the different translations occurring during the week and having the teams work together with language barriers. Friday night we had a powerful Footprints for Kids Lab with 2 families from the Setubal church in Portugal. The families stated that they have been tremendously blessed by the small group and have already seen the life-transformation in their own lives.

Sabbath afternoon the Adventist school, where we stayed, filled its hallways with 18-20 different families from the Porto area ready to experience a Footprints for Kids small groups from the K.I.D. University participants. It was a powerful experience!

We were also blessed to have the Children’s Ministries Director of the Trans-European Division, Anne-May Wollan, join us. She was able to bring her perceptive of how K.I.D. has worked in her division and how God has blessed her countries.

Don, Julie, and Chris had a wonderful, impactful, and packed week! We appreciated all your prayers and we ask that you pray now for the Euro-Africa Division as these participants go to launch K.I.D. in their home countries.

God is performing a great work and we are only instruments to be used by Him.

Have a blessed Christmas season!

Blessings,

The K.I.D. Ministry
