What a powerful Sunday in River Kids! 🙌

We continued our MY COMFORTER series, teaching on “The Work of the Holy Spirit IN Us” and how the fire of God works in our hearts and lives.

🔥 His fire gives us a hunger for God.
🔥 His fire changes us from the inside out.
🔥 His fire makes our hearts burn for Jesus!

Our children learned that the fire of God isn’t just about feeling something—it’s about allowing the Holy Spirit to do something IN us!

And the greatest celebration of all…

47 CHILDREN GAVE THEIR HEARTS TO THE LORD! ❤️

We are so thankful for what God is doing in this next generation! We believe these children will know Jesus, be filled with the Holy Ghost and fire, and live boldly for Him!

“Did not our heart burn within us…” — Luke 24:32 KJV

THE FIRE OF GOD IS WORKING IN ME! 🔥

KNOWING THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT — PART 3
Being Sensitive to the Holy Spirit 🔥

Yesterday in River Kids, they were learning that the Holy Spirit speaks to our hearts and leads us! ❤️

The more time we spend with God—reading His Word, praying, worshipping, listening, and obeying—the more we learn to recognize His leading.

📖 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27

ADVENTURE ISLAND REWARDS TRIP! 🎉🏝️

What a BLAST we had yesterday! ☀️🌊

We celebrated 46 River Kids who have been faithfully reading God’s Word and memorizing Scripture! 📖🔥

Ages 6–8:
📖 Read 22 books of the Bible
🔥 Memorized 38 Scripture verses

🔥 NEW PILLAR: MY COMFORTER 🔥

This Sunday in River Kids, we kicked off a new pillar in our 12 Foundations of My Faith series: “My Comforter — Knowing the Person of the Holy Spirit.”

Our kids learned that the Holy Spirit is not just a power or a feeling—He is a Person, He is God, and He wants us to know Him!

We’re teaching this generation to know the Holy Spirit personally, recognize His leading, and obey His voice. 🙌🔥

And we are rejoicing that 70 kids made the decision to accept Jesus into their hearts! ❤️

God is moving in this younger generation, and we are so thankful for all He is doing!

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost… he shall teach you all things.” — John 14:26

JESUS, THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

This week in River Kids, we learned that when Adam and Eve sinned, sin and death entered the world and separated people from God. But God already had a plan—Jesus! ❤️

Jesus came as God’s perfect solution. Through His death, burial and resurrection, He restored our relationship with God, washed away our sins, and gave us eternal life.

📖 “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” — John 11:25

What a reason to worship! 🙌

Because of Jesus, we have:

Eternal Life ✨
Peace ✨
Joy ✨
Hope ✨
God’s Presence ✨

We also spent time praying together, asking God to move mightily in our nation and for Washington, D.C. to be shaken by the power of God. It was powerful to see these young people lifting their voices in faith and believing God for a Great Awakening! 🔥🇺🇸

What a powerful Sunday morning as we closed out “As Real As It Gets!” ❤️‍🔥

We heard so many testimonies of children being radically transformed by the Lord this week. On Sunday morning, kids were saved and filled with the Holy Spirit and many began speaking in tongues for the very first time! 🔥🙌🏻

We are so thankful for our Pastors who faithfully lead the way, contend for the faith, and make room for revival. Because of their obedience, we are seeing the next generation encounter Jesus in a real and powerful way.

What a life-changing week! God is moving in the lives of these children, and we’re believing this is only the beginning. 🎉✨❤️

Last night in River Kids was so powerful! ✨

Many kids had a real encounter with Jesus for the first time, and God moved in a strong way. 🔥

We saw healing, breakthrough, and even kids stepping out and praying for others under the power of the Holy Spirit.

It was a beautiful night of God touching young hearts and showing that He uses children right now. 🙌🏻❤️
