MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- Why is it that some kids grow up in the worst of circumstances, having very little support from home, and yet grow to be successful members of society?

At the same time, middle class parents raising their kids in loving, healthy and nurturing homes still see their kids struggle with confidence, making right choices, and succeeding in life.

The reason?

Intentional, long-term relationships outside of their home.

Thousands of kids in America are growing up never having such an opportunity.

KidTrek's focus is to equip the church to build such intentional, long-term relationships with kids, they grow to become Christ-changed, hope-filled, productive adults.

To do this, KidTrek collaborates with local-churches and Para church ministries who have a vision to reach kids, but realize they need further training to get the long-term results they desire.

These ministries work solely in association with KidTrek through the training, coaching and curriculum provided, but otherwise have no other connection with KidTrek.

KidTrek provides you with tools to transform kids' lives for eternity.

"This week has been an eye-opening experience of awesome learning, frustrated realization, amazing encouragement and being stretched beyond what I thought possible. It is rare that a vision can be so catching - it is because it comes from how Jesus did ministry! KidTrek offers my ministry not a quick fix or curriculum to fill time but an outlook on ministry that requires complete surrender and reliance on our Lord. It will not be easy but so worth while to reaching kids and families with the truth and love of Jesus!
Thank you!
I caught it and now have the task to infect others"
Roxanne Engstrom, Children's Director

"In missions there's a documented correlation between preparation and longevity. If you want a ministry that will last for the long haul, you have to invest in the training of its leaders. That's what KidTrek does with excellence."
Reverend Cliff Warner
