Rachel Dirks

BCA 4 Kids Coordinator, Rachel Dirks is passionate about ministry to the next generation and has served in various kids and youth ministry roles for over twenty years. She hopes to see BCA connect with kids across Australia and empower churches to share the gospel with the young people of our nation.

The BCA 4 Kids program is designed for pre-school and primary school aged children. By joining, kids will discover what life is like for those in rural, regional, and remote Australia, they will grow in their relationship with Jesus, and can find out ways to serve our Field Staff. Upon joining the program kids receive a certificate and a BCA 4 Kids drink bottle. Each quarter there is a special BCA 4 Kids section in The Real Australian plus members also receive an annual magazine with stories, craft ideas, puzzles plus more!

As kids are on summer holidays across Australia, pray that families would connect with churches, and that it would be a wonderful time of mutual encouragement.

Continue to pray that leaders in the bush would be raised up to serve in kids ministry.
