Words from a Childlike Heart is launching its first campaign called "I Am A Child of the King" to promote purpose, awareness, and spiritual awakening for children. We are starting a movement to partner with the youth who are excited, willing, and ready to have a voice about who they are in Jesus Christ. This initiative is grounded in spirituality, combined with artistic ideas.
Your involvement will give children a voice to express themselves, "I Matter," and turn the focus on salvation rather than race, "Jesus Matters." All individuals and groups are able to join our movement. If you work with youth, teach in Vacation Bible School, serve as a youth pastor or minister, attend a Christian school, or teach Sunday School, you are welcomed to help spread our message. While the movement focuses on children, t-shirt sizes are also available for adults.
Thank you for making this initiative a success.
