Virginia Humphreys, former Director of the Children's Equipping Center at Restoration Fellowship, is serving with:

United Native Ministries of Shiprock, New Mexico

YWAM Northern Arizona

The International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri.

The combined project of these three ministries, in part, is for more interaction and cultural understanding among our First Nations children and First Nations leaders on the Navajo Reservation by serving one another and taking responsibility for the next generation based on the mandate of Psalm 79 and Joel 2.  Their prayer is that all children will understand the passion God has for them and that they will love the Lord their God with all their hearts, souls and minds.

Purposes:

To assist in developing a ministry amoung First Nation churches which will and are able to assume responsibility of ministry amoung their own culture group. 

To build a bridge among Christian leaders, churches and missions for the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

To coordinate Children's Conferences around the world to perpetuate the vision of the Children's Equipping Centers of International House of Prayer (IHOP) and Restoration Fellowship.

Plan:

It is important in First Nations work to value each individual, and we believe that holiness is a fruit of God's grace, transforming the motives of the heart and affecting our words, conduct, business dealings and relationships.  We model, teach and train leaders with a greater awareness and understanding of ministry today by helping train leaders in a new direction in children's mnistry, one that is tested and is producing much fruit around the world.

Long-term Goals:

To do our part in fulfilling the Great Commission, and if necessary, doing new things, in new ways where new initiatives are required to accomplish the goal.

To champion the potential of young people.  We believe in their leadership and potential to change the world and are dedicated to equip them with the tools to do so.

To affirm personal responsibiltiy and volunteerism, encouraging individuals to seek God for guidance and direction regarding ministry roles and methods of performing their work.  We encourage personal initiative in these areas, making decisions together with their leaders and others.

We seek to equip and mobilize youth and adults to take roles of service and influence in every sphere of society.
