Children’s Events Captain

Please note: These job descriptions were composed for medium to large sized outreaches with Impact World Tour. For smaller events not all positions or simplified procedures might be required, please apply common sense in determining the needs for your community.

The Children’s Events Captain has the responsibility of organizing one or two pre-Campaign children’s events that would encourage the children of the churches to pray and share their faith, and organizing 3 children’s events after the Campaign week to gather all the small groups and inquirers together for a time of fellowship, followed by teaching. These events must be relevant to children, remember that at discipleship events many of the children will be new Christians and not accustomed to attending church. It is imperative that we make the effort to teach them about God in a way that they can relate to.

Pre-Tour Events Team

Work with the Impact World Tour Coordinator to set the date for at least one Pre-Campaign event. At this event, show the IWT video or commercials and explain to them what will be happening at the Impact World Tour. Talk to them about salvation and about praying for their friends and family using the Operation Andrew Cards to facilitate this.
In a large city it may be necessary to have events in each region so that all can attend.
Event Planning – consider the following as you plan each event.

Confirm venues for each event. Spread the events out through the city and in different denominations of churches.
Decide a theme for each event. Themes should focus around prayer (one event should be an Operation Andrew kick-off) and evangelism.
Assign a group of team members to plan and organize each event.
Talk to local children’s pastors to schedule a speaker for each event. Again, use speakers from different churches and denominations for each event.
Organize a good band to lead worship. The kids should be able to relate to the music/worship that is played.
Get the children involved if possible by having a drama, testimony, special song, etc…
Find a local children’s leader who is willing to be MC for the event.
Have children’s pastors and leaders ready for any altar call during the event.
Confirm all details two weeks prior to the event.
Make a program for the event.
Everything should be set up and sound checks should be done 30mins before.
Make sure the event runs smoothly and does not drag.

Post-Campaign Events Team
Work with the IWT Coordinator to plan dates for Post-Campaign events. We suggest 3 events over the coming 8 weeks (1, 3 & 8 weeks) to bring the inquirers & Christians together to have fun and learn intimacy with Jesus.

Focus on essential topics such as: Worship, Hearing God’s Voice, Father heart of God, The Cross and Sharing Jesus.
Continue the evangelism begun at the IWT event by presenting the gospel and giving a simple altar call.
If dates are booked before the Small Group Flyers are printed – you could place a small ad in the flyer (for city-wide events only).
