More than 120 children from six 6 different communities within Asimeuri South Seas Evangelical Church (SSEC) association took part in the Asimeuri SSEC Association children’s ministry Gudnius club 2016 soccer league.
The opening event of the league was held at Roone Village, Small Malaita on Thursday 30th June 2016.
Association secretary Pr. Laban Lole, Roone local church pastor Pr. Mesach Awa and the association children ministry coordinator Isaiah Wane took part in the opening event.
The theme of the Gudnius club legue was ‘Helping the children to grow wholistically.’
Speaking during the official opening ceremony Wane said, children need to grow physically, mentally, socially and spiritually like any other human being in our society.
“Based on the theme, children need to develop in all aspects of life, they need survival, protection, participation, development and planning.”
Coordinator Wane explained; Sunday school or children’s ministry is an educational church ministry to teach the children about the Christian life in the society.
“Such event like this allows children from other different communities to interact, share, learn, and experience happiness outside from their community.
“The main goal of the soccer league is to allow the children to see and fear God not only in the church building but also in sports.
