Alan & Jane Penry of The Ark Community Church in Abbots Langley in Hertfordshire run their weekly Alive & Kicking Kidz Klub. Over recent years they have been developing international Kidz Klub activities in Egypt, India and Uganda, under the name of Children of the World Projects.

Egypt

For the last 7 years we have taken children from the Garbage Village of Moutamdiah on the outskirts of Cairo, on holiday to a Kidz Klub style camp. This year we used many of the object lessons from last term and they worked really well. The theme of the camp was "Choices". Over the week we played many games, presented a drama, taught object lessons and had lots of fun. Then back into the village to work with several hundred children each night, sharing the gospel and challenging the children to make Godly choices for their lives.

Uganda

In April we organised a Kidz Klub style camp for six hundred children. This was a totally new experience for many of the children. We ran two days of teachers training sessions followed by the camp, again using object lessons, games and lots of fun to get over how much God loves them. During our week in Uganda, we had the opportunity to speak to over 2500 children and we saw over 500 children give their lives for the first time to the Lord.

India

This Kidz Klub camp in October was amazing, with many Hindu children present. We were expecting 200 children however the final number was in excess of 400. Again a lot of fun was had as we presented the gospel and over a hundred children were saved and filled with the Holy Spirit including many Hindus.
