The Greater Accra Regional Children’s Ministry held its All Children Workers All-Night Service on Friday, 7th November 2025, at the Atomic PIWC auditorium. The program brought together children’s workers from across the region for a night of worship, thanksgiving and prayer.
The sermon for the night was delivered by Pastor Samuel Avornyo, the National Children’s Ministry Director, on the theme: “And now, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name” 1 Chronicles 29:13.
In his message, Pastor Avornyo emphasized why children workers must thank God. He explained that thanksgiving is a response to the realization that our calling is by grace and divine choice, not by personal merit or qualification. He reminded workers that “you are a children worker not because you deserve to be there, but because God chose you.”
He encouraged all children’s workers not to belittle themselves, describing them as “the neck of the church” and just as the neck turns and the whole head follows, so the direction and future of the church depend greatly on the work and influence of children’s workers.
Drawing from 1 Chronicles 29:1, Pastor Avornyo shared the example of David and his son Solomon. Although David was well-prepared, experienced, and ready to build the altar of the Lord, God chose Solomon who was young and inexperienced to accomplish that sacred task. He used this illustration to remind workers that God’s choice is sovereign. Just as Solomon was chosen to build the temple, children’s workers have been chosen by God to build the spiritual lives of children, shaping the future of the church.
He emphasized that this divine selection should fill every children worker’s heart with deep gratitude and praise, because among many, God has counted them worthy to serve in this noble ministry.
The night was filled with joyful praise, heartfelt thanksgiving, and fervent prayer as children workers rededicated themselves to serve faithfully and joyfully in their calling.
