Over the last year or so Dave McDonald has talked a lot about how humans have all been created in the image of God. We are in fact God’s shadow and are called to daily live in a way that reflects the essence of God.
We believe that from the beginning of life (see Psalm 139.13-16) God’s grace is active; that the dance with God begins and spiritual formation is under way. In fact we believe spiritual formation is happening whether or not it is intentionally encouraged and nurtured.
Sofia Cavalletti relates a three-year old’s experience. This child was growing up in an atheistic home in which no one ever spoke of God.
One day she questioned her father about the origins of the world: "Where does the world come from?" Her father replied, in a manner consistent with his ideas, with a discourse that was materialistic in nature; then he added: "However, there are those who say that all this comes from a very powerful being, and they call him God." At this point the little girl began to run like a whirlwind around the room in a burst of joy, and exclaimed: "I knew what you told me wasn’t true; it is Him; it is Him!"
We believe that our children are wired to know God and be in relationship with Him.
Our Mission
WWKids Journey’s mission is to help our kids to daily recognize and respond to God’s invitation to be part of their life.
Each week WWKids Journey servants intentionally encourage our kids to look for the "God moments" in their lives. To recognize God’s goodness and join in to help others. In this very simple process of serving others, their own lives are changed.
