I've lived in Africa for the past 8 years now and have seen and experienced many things. One theme that has emerged as I have traveled around Africa is the need for Godly, servant-hearted, leadership. As John Maxwell says "everything rises and falls on leadership".
As Children's Cup we have been working hard on being intential about developing leaders at every level of influence that the Lord has allowed us to have. We know that in the long term our effectiveness will be defined by our ability to develop leaders.
Children's Cup (thanks to our many partners) works with almost 30,000 children in sub-Saharan Africa everyday. We believe that many of tomorrow's leaders will emerge from these children. Children that the world has kind of written off. (I love how God values people the world considers worthless)
We are building intentional programs to foster character in all the children that God allows us to connect with. Like our kid's club program that teaches kids how the Word of God applies to their everyday life in a fun and relevant way all the way to the new DreamCenter (drawing that is above) that will be used to help train young leaders in an intesive one year leadership academy.
Children's Cup is greatly influencing the next generation in Africa. Check out the blog posts over the next several weeks to read more about the details of each of these awesome program.
