The Pakistan Union's Children’s Ministries recently witnessed a momentous occasion, celebrating the baptism of eight young individuals who committed to Jesus Christ. On June 16, 2024, these young souls publicly declared their faith, embracing Jesus as their personal Savior.

Inspired by the biblical principle found in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it,” the local church leaders, Sabbath school leaders, and pastors have been diligently working to nurture the spiritual growth of their young congregation. Through leadership training sessions and seminars titled “Parents as Guides,” event organizers equipped parents and coordinators to effectively guide the youth, viewing them as a precious heritage of God.

Farzana Yaqub, the Children’s Ministries director for the Pakistan Union Session, expressed profound gratitude to the local church Children’s Ministries coordinators, Sabbath school leaders, and pastors. “Their dedication and hard work have led this special group of children to the path of righteousness. We are confident that as they grow older, they will remain steadfast in their faith,” she stated.

Children’s Ministries focuses on the holistic development of children from birth to 14 years old. While Sabbath School provides weekly religious education, Children’s Ministries aims to engage children in various activities and ministries, helping them grow in their faith and maintain a close relationship with Jesus daily. The recent baptismal celebration is a testament to these ministries' effectiveness, highlighting the importance of early spiritual education and its enduring impact on young lives.
