They also learnt about “Personal Hygiene And House Keeping”. Personal Hygiene was defined as the proper taking care of your body personally and also caring for yourself. How we care for the body includes: bathing properly, brushing teeth in the morning and night, applying body cream and deodorant, etc.

The program came to a climax on Sunday with a Thanksgiving service. The children were asked questions about the conference which they answered rightly. Other interesting activities were bible challenge, special song rendition and children choir rendition. The topic for the sermon was “Children of Prayer and the Word”. The text was taken from Luke 2: 42-52 and Deuteronomy 6:6-7, excerpts from the sermon are:

A child is a person who has parents (father and mother) and prayer as the act of communicating to God in secret and openly while the Word is God talking to us. Bible is God’s letter to man, woman and children.

The benefits of Children of prayer and the word as:

1. They grow in wisdom (Daniel 9: 2-3).
2. They are obedient to parents (Luke 2:51).
3. God will always be there to save and deliver them from trouble.
4. You will have favour with God and man (Daniel 6:14; 18-23).
5. The word will keep you away from sin (Psalm 119:11).
6. God will be closer to you (Genesis 39:21).
7. When we speak the word of God miracles take place (Matthew 8:18).

The conference was a very huge success, as the children had an exciting time in God’s presence.
