Desc	CIC inspires, equips, and trains indigenous African church leaders and lay ministry volunteers in the importance of children and how to minister to them effectively. We train pastors and churches to understand that children, who are 48% of the entire population in Africa, are very important to God and should be very important to the church as well. Additionally CIC emphasizes the importance of the local church reaching out to unchurched children and ministering God's love to them. CIC provides interested pastors and churches with 5 days of children's ministry vision and ministry trainings, so that those churches can establish ministry to unchurched children in their proximate regions through children's weekly clubs. In FY 2018, CIC inspired and mobilized 23,839 indigenous ministry volunteers to minister in these clubs. Total adult ministry trainings in FY 2018 were 832 in which 1,591 pastors were trained and equipped for the ministry.	Desc
