ESEPA and VIVA Latin America (www.redviva.org) held a seminar at ESEPA Semina
ry recently on the need to work with children. We had a great turn out with nearly 30 Sunday School teachers and church leaders concerned reaching out to children at risk. I shared the morning session with Alexander Cabezas of Viva on looking at God’s heart for children. One of the focuses we had was on child protection policies. One of our growing concerns is with the lack of commitment many churches have when it comes to setting up protection policies in keeping children safe from abuse. We were able to help church leaders see that God desire for his place of worship to be a safe place. We will continue to work with some of the churches towards accomplishing this needed focus.
