Every weekend in Kenya, children are joining together to praise God. They sing, dance, laugh and learn while at the DCM Children's Bible Club. Meeting on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, the program consists of seven separate ‘clubs’ that are open to children of all denominations. The goal is to provide spiritual, physical, social and psychological care to the kids in attendance. Teachers lead the participants in song, safety and health classes and in memorization of Luther’s Small Catechism, the Ten Commandments and the Creeds. Sometimes they perform at local churches on Sunday, and there has even been a competition that brought all the clubs together to show off what they had learned.
This program is spreading the word of God to all of those in attendance, and it provides a safe, loving environment for the children on the weekends. Those who attend a church service featuring a performance by one of the Bible Clubs are very impressed with the singing and the military like projection of speech used when reciting the Catechism and creeds. It is easy to see that the children are proud of what they learn, and the smiles on their faces while they sing and dance are one of a kind.
