OHOP's Children's Equipping Center's Christmas Program

On our missions base we have a Children's Equipping Center.

Our Vision

To equip, empower and release young people to pray the Word, preach the Gospel of salvation, teach of His Coming and walk in the Power of the Holy Spirit.


Our Motives

To help children understand the context of night and day prayer, in order to to see young people establish night and day prayer throughout the Earth.


Our Passion

To assist a generation and those called to lead and parent them with truths that will pass on to a generation the desire to have a passionate love and pursuit of the Word of God through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Our Prayer

To see a generation of young people and their parents and leaders raised up to advance in the Kingdom of God, while learning and experiencing the reality of being a “Friend of the Bridegroom”.

The CEC children had been working for weeks on a wonderful Christmas program that was led by Lorretta Steele. The Lord actually gave her the idea for the whole thing.

BIBLE LITERACY
We have sought to raise up a Bible-literate generation. Children will be equipped with a heart-felt knowledge of the Bible through godly content, creative teaching methods, resources, environment, solid leadership and life experiences. We believe the scripture of the entire Bible to be inspired by God. We believe that the Bible is the divine authority for our faith and beliefs—it is God’s revelation of Himself to mankind. (2 Timothy 3:16)


PRAYER (The Pursuit of Intimacy with Jesus)

Children will be taught to understand that the Holy Spirit is orchestrating a global prayer strategy in these very days, and they are a part of it!

We teach principles about enjoyable prayer that assist children with a deep passion to develop an intimate dialogue and a desire to communicate with God just as He communicates with them. Children can hear from God and understand more than most people think. We hold true to Isaiah 56:7, “Even them I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer.”


PRAISE AND WORSHIP

We place a high value on teaching children about praise and worship. Mike Bickle in the Forerunner School of Ministry syllabus states that King David described three responses of people who are fully possessed by God. They tremble, rejoice, and kiss the heart of God (Psalm 2:9–12). We believe every child deserves the opportunity to express their love for God and have a place to receive His love for them. This is the environment we have set out to create. We focus our attention weekly with the children on the following:
His Majesty: We believe and teach children that they can be drawn into the presence of the Lord and tremble as they come to understand the His majesty.
His Redemption: We believe that if we teach children to experience and understand His majesty, they will celebrate and rejoice knowing of the benefits of His redemption.
The Heart of God: We believe when children understand at an early age His majesty and the benefits of His redemption, they will see how worship and praise touch the heart of God, which will grow into having a more intimate relationship with Jesus.

POWER, SIGNS & WONDERS
We teach children to believe that Jesus expressed the Father's heart when He called them to come to Him and compared the Kingdom of God to them (Luke 18:15–17).

We believe God's power, signs and wonders are not just for adults to experience. Children, too, can walk in the boldness, zeal and power of God; to participate in ministry to one another in such a way that signs and wonders can be released through them. Isaiah 8:18 says, “Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion."


THE PROPHETIC
We teach children to believe the promise given to us in Acts 2:17 that in these days, His Spirit will be poured out on all flesh and they are the ones who will prophesy, dream dreams and see visions. We are seeking the Lord for daily wisdom, strategies and opportunities to mobilize this promise in the hearts of young people worldwide. We believe there is a "Sons of Issachar" anointing being poured out on children across all the planet to understand the times and seasons we are living in.
