An army of children and youth on fire with the power of God, reaching their generation, leading the coming revival, doing the works of Jesus—preaching the Gospel, praying for the sick, casting out demons, and raising the dead Marching to the ends of the earth

Children ministering in the power of the Spirit alongside their parents in the home, the church, the street, and the market place

An army. I hear them marching. I hear a trumpet. I hear the thunder of many feet; little feet marching down the street.  I hear a shout, “Hosanna! The King is coming!” I see children preparing the way.

God’s Little Giants – A Prophecy

(read aloud)

Yes, giants, I say, shall march up and down the land,
Yes, giants, I say, with little heads and little hands.
And none shall stand before them; none shall stand
Before the giants with little heads and little hands.

Some shall fall and weep before these giants
With little hands and little feet.
Healings shall flow and devils run
Before the giants with little hands and little heads and feet.

Yes, hearts will burn, the dead will rise,
And limbs will grow before their eyes
As men shall turn from sin and defeat to seek the one true God
Before the giants with little hands and little heads and feet.

Ssh! Listen! I hear them coming. I see an army.
I hear a trumpet, I hear them marching.
I hear the tread, I hear the thud,
I hear the thunder of many feet
Marching, marching down the street.
I see an army. I hear a shout.
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
The King is coming! The King is coming! The King is coming!
Perfect praise with little heads and hands upraised.
Marching, marching, marching down the street,
Marching down the street, marching down the street;
The giants with little hands and little heads and feet.
HOSANNA! HOSANNA! HOSANNA! HE COMES!

Our Strategies

A strategy is a long term plan of action designed to accomplish a specific task or mission.

1. Mission: To establish a Kidspray Club (KPC) for every school in Australia and to start such clubs overseas as opportunities arise

Strategy: The KPC (held on school grounds or in a community or church hall nearby) is designed to reach kids, evangelise them, and to teach them to pray. In turn the praying child, as a member of the school community, brings prayer to school. Like Mary who had a little lamb that followed her to school, school boy Johnny brings the Lamb of God to school with him. KPCs are an indirect way of re-establishing prayer in the schools of our nation.

2. Mission: To put a small laminated card of the Lord’s Prayer in the pocket of every school child in Australia

Strategy: As the Christian community catches the vision, we will encourage churches and civic groups to donate money to make the Lord’s Prayer project possible, starting with local state schools.

When Jesus’ disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, he taught them the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), which has become a model for how we are to pray. It contains all the elements of prayer—the fatherhood of God; honor due to his holy name; God’s desire to establish his kingdom on earth; prayer for our daily needs; forgiveness for our enemies; protection from the evil one; and the triumph of God who has all power, and is deserving of all honor.

3. Mission: To lead children into a life-transforming encounter with the tangible presence of the living God

Strategy: Encourage repentance and a genuine conversion experience. Lead children into worship from the

heart and model for them how to spend time in the presence of God.

Jesus taught that we must all come to him as little children, “for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Within this context Jesus, in telling the story of the lost sheep, concluded, “Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish” (Matthew 18: 14). So Jesus makes it clear a “little one” not only can be eternally lost, but can be saved. That is the first step.

But I am also suggesting here that experiencing the “tangible presence of the living God” can have a life-transforming effect. A child or adult can be “saved” and yet may have never experienced the tangible presence of God. While only the Holy Spirit can make it happen, this experience may come through worship and prayer as people press in to God. Once experienced, a child (or adult) will never be the same again. Paul on the road to Damascus had a life-transforming encounter with God. There are many other such stories in the Bible.

The lives of the children who were present “the night God came” at a Children’s Prayer Network conference, Family 2003, were changed for ever. I can also speak from personal experience. I had been saved, filled with the Holy Spirit and known God for sixty years, before I experienced the manifest presence of God in a powerful way–alone in my living room; it changed my life (see My Story).

So in this ministry, we endeavor to lead children into the manifest presence of God regularly, through repentance, worship and prayer. We consider it a priority. Developing a life style of practising the presence of God is the source of all fruitfulness.

4. Mission: To raise up an army of children to become worshippers and intercessors for their families, their schools, their communities, their government, their country, and the nations of the world.

Strategy: Encourage worship, prayer and intercession by example, teaching and activities, including the use of maps and games. Worship and prayer have to become a life-style. They are essential ingredients of every meeting.  Jehoshophat sent out the musicians at the forefront of the army. And as the musicians played the enemy fled. It is the same today.

God answers the prayers of children. Children have simple faith. They will pray; they will intercede; they will cry out for the lost; they will not give up till the answer comes. Esther Ilnisky, founder and director of The Children’s Global Prayer Movement (CGPM), believes that God has placed a desire to pray in every child, and that it is the responsibility of parents and children’s workers to release and mentor that desire.

To release means to set free from restraints—perhaps fear, or just not knowing what to pray; or perhaps their world is too small with their prayers limited to pets, family, and friends. It is the parent’s or teacher’s job to enlarge the child’s world. So Ilnisky concludes, “Let the Children Pray.”

5. Mission: To disciple children to do the works of Jesus–to preach the Gospel, pray for the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead–as part of God’s army to reach this generation and help lead the coming revival. Marching to the ends of the earth

Strategy: To disciple children is to train, not entertain; to instruct and model the ways and commandments of the Lord from infancy. “And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up” (Deuteronomy 6). It also means to provide opportunities for the children to practice their gifts and apply what they have learnt to their lives.

Jesus’ last commandment was to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. . . . And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16: 15-18).

Does this commandment apply to children as well as adults? Eighty to ninety percent of missionaries are called by the age of eleven years! We now live in a “global village;” the internet has caused the globe to shrink. Almost every child in the western world has access to the internet. We owe it to them to give them God’s perspective on the world; we owe it to the children to train them to cast out devils, heal the sick, and raise the dead. Jesus said that his disciples, including children, would do greater works than he did. That is scripture.

In revivals in the past youth have played a vital part. The Welsh revival was called a young people’s revival. Ministers who came to set things in proper order, sat in awe as children and youth prayed, preached, prophesied, prayed for the sick, and cast out demons. They returned home, testifying that God was at work in Wales.

The majority of Moody’s converts were children and youth. In times of revival the Holy Spirit elevates the children. Children are believers; they have much less junk to get rid of than adults. So God can use them more sometimes. They have the same Holy Spirit as we do. There is no junior Holy Spirit. So should it not be so in our time?

6. Mission: To restore children to their rightful place in the body of Christ, ministering in the power of the Spirit beside their parents and other adults.

Strategy: This means that it is not enough to work with the children. We must educate the church–the clergy, the teachers, the parents, the grandparents, and every adult–that the child’s place is not in the back room of the church, out of sight and out of mind (till he is 18), but beside his parents and other adults. We believe this and are committed to restoring children to their place in the body of Christ. This will include ministry geared to the child’s age, and opportunities for them to minister with and to adults while they are still children.

7. Mission: To write teaching materials, stories, songs and poems to circle the globe.

There a a great shortage of Christian teaching materials for children in many nations. As these are available they can be downloaded free of charge in third world nations.

What We Believe

The Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and contains  answers to all man’s problems.

2 Timothy 3:16, 17
2 Peter 1:20, 21

There is one God, existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7

God is love and he loves all people. It is his desire to reach out to the needy–those who are poor, oppressed, widowed or orphaned, and to heal the brokenhearted.

Psalm 68:5,6; 1 John 4:16

Man is created in the image of God but separated from God by sin. Without Jesus we cannot have a relationship with God.

Genesis 1:26; 1 Timothy 2:5

We can have a personal relationship with God through salvation, God’s free gift to man. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God’s unearned favor. By admitting we have sinned and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and accepting him as Lord, we can spend eternity with God.

Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24

We believe in water baptism, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus, as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He helps empower the believer to develop the character of Christ and live every day in God’s will.

Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4

God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God’s people (the Church) and proof to unbelievers of God’s existence and power. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10

Sanctification is the ongoing process of allowing God’s character to be developed in us.

Romans 6:19; Galatians 5:22-25

Divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus, who is the healer. Healing includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual restoration.

Luke 9:11; Matthew 9:35; Acts 10:38; Matthew 10:1

The Bible describes hell as a real place. It is a place of suffering and a place of permanent separation from God for those who die without accepting Christ. God’s desire is that no one be separated from him for eternity, which is why he sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to earth.

Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:12-15; John 3:16-18

Jesus will return and take all those who have accepted him as Savior to heaven for eternity.

Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Hebrews 9:28

What We Believe About Children

Jesus taught that unless we adults become like little children, we cannot enter the Kingdom of God (Matthew 18: 3).

We believe children are sinners and may be lost, but that Jesus died for them and they may be saved, because the simple plan of salvation through faith in Christ is the same for children.

We believe that children desire to come to Jesus and that they are not safe until they come to him.

We believe that children can be saved through the blood of Jesus, baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, water baptized, and participate in communion.

Childhood is the best time for a person to come to Christ because the child’s heart is tender, and not yet hardened by sin, and he finds it easy to believe. Fifty years ago, eighty percent of Christians received Christ before the age of ten years.

We believe that all the truths of the Gospel taught to adults can be taught to children at a level they can understand. In fact Scripture repeatedly instructs that childhood is the optimal time to teach children God’s commandments (Deuteronomy 6).

We believe that children, as believers, can operate in the gifts of the Spirit, preach the Gospel, pray for the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead. They are part of God’s end-time army and the Great Commission applies to children as much as adults.

We believe that children can enter fully into worship and pray and intercede effectively for their families, their schools, their communities, their governments, their country, and the nations of the world.

We believe that children will play a major role in leading the end-time revival that ushers in the return of Jesus.
