Interesting testimonies and experiences related to a child or a group of Missionary Childhood:
The 2019 National HCA congress was organized to incorporate various ethnic groups in the country with the view of giving the Children an opportunity to use their local/tribal songs to promote the missionary activities in their various regions. This was achieved as young HCA children were enthusiastic about doing the missionary work through singing and cultural displays.
The National congress was done in August 13th – 16th, 2019 (when most Children all over the country were on holidays). During the congress we had animation and presentations such as talks, cultural displays, and visit to pediatric wards of hospital aimed at strengthening the children’s faith.
