Children for a Peaceful World
"they know what we've forgotten"
Our Story
Children For A Peaceful World is a program that was created to teach children Christian values by serving others. In the experience of helping other children, each child becomes more aware of their own personal value, which reinforces their self-esteem. With this perfect exchange, both parties receive the benefits of giving and receiving.
Originally called, Kids for Kids, the Children's Ministry was first established in 1986. It began with 35 children of different practicing Christian faiths in the rural community of Panola County in East Texas. The children, ranging from 3 to 16 years of age, sang original Christian songs at fairs, festivals, churches and hospitals all over the Ark-La-Tex. Their unique musical performance included signing techniques for the hearing impaired.
In addition to performing, the original group of children raised money for St. Jude’s Hospital and sponsored a child, Hilda Morales in Central America in a program where letters were exchanged. The Kids for Kids Ministry also participated in a camp for “burn survivors” where they learned the value of being kind to children who are “different”.
The Ministry came back to life and in February of 2006, was approved for a 501c3 (not for profit status) in San Angelo, Texas. Today we are called Children For A Peaceful World because we believe that our children can make a difference. The Kids for Kids songs have all been translated into Spanish. This serves as a wonderful opportunity to teach the children a second language.
We would like to share this beautiful experience with your children. To learn more about how to have Miss Cindy bring the It's Cool To Be You self-esteem program to your children or staff visit cynthiaspeaks.com
