Programs

Explorers Program
This is Saturday children's church. It is the basis for all our other programs. It is a joyful and celebrative experience with prayer, worship, games, bible lessons, memory verses, homework assignments, arts and crafts. Children must attend Explorers to participate in the other programs.
-
Saturday Lunch
One hot yummy lunch is served after bible lessons. For about half our club members this may be their only meal for the day. It's not uncommon to see 5 yr olds feeding a younger baby brother or sister. If younger siblings can’t attend, often they'll stuff their pockets with extra bread to bring home to younger family members.
-
Reading and Writing
The ability to learn depends heavily on the ability to read and write. We not only want to see our kiddos succeed in life but also have the ability to self-nurture a relationship with God by feasting (reading) on His word. This class gives club members a very basic but functional ability to read & write.
-
Self-Defense
Prompted by the two pregnancies that were a result of the rapings of SKC members. Here there is little to no justice for rape victims, but we can give these precious jewels something, the hope, healing & forgiveness found in Jesus, and the opportunity to escape, fight back & defend themselves.
-
Soccer League
The soccer league is designed to give club members the opportunity to participate in something they love while bettering their community in the name of Jesus through required service projects. In addition, giving many fatherless boys godly role models & confidants found in their coaches.
-
Swimming
Swimming is a vital life skill when you live on the flood plain of the Amazon River where 3 months of the year hundreds of homes go underwater claiming the lives of countless little ones every year. Our swimming class gets our kiddos out of floaties and trains them to able swimmers.
-
Dance and Drama
Giving youth the opportunity to express themselves creatively through the art of dance & drama has proven a great way to get kids off the streets and do more positive things with their time. These dances and dramas are performed in the community as a witness to their peers & elders who still need the love of a Savior.
-
Purity Classes
A one-week course to teach self-worth, abstinence, & deal with traumas of rape & violence via a child’s therapist & the love of Jesus. Following the course is a formal ceremony (ball) for all the family with purity rings & formal attire. For the majority, this will be their only formal event ever to attend.
-
Fire Safety
When you live in a wood house that has petroleum-soaked floors to ward off mosquitos, grass roofs & no plumbing or water, fires become an increasing risk. Fire safety courses are a must. We help our youth understand how to prevent fires and how to respond safely when one occurs.
-
Joshua Generation
Joshua Generation is an intense 2-week mission training school (put on by Youth With A Mission) that only our most dedicated club members are eligible to attend providing them the opportunity to learn more about the bible, do street evangelism and travel the world.
-
Home Group
Home Group gives our older kiddos who've made the decision to take their walk with Christ seriously a chance for fellowship, reflection, discipleship, and fun. Within the safety of the walls of our home, we pray for & encourage one another and give praise reports for our weekly success living as examples of Christ.
-
Christmas
Christmas is one of our biggest events of the year. We share the birth of our savior Jesus Christ along with other fun activities like puppet shows, clown shows, dance groups, guest singers, hot cocoa & fruit cake. We give club members who have attended a minimum of 6 months a Christmas gift. For many, this is the only gift they receive.
