Children Well-being
We understand that it is the right of every child to have a happy and stable home environment, and the freedom and support to grow up to be the person God intended. In 1989, the United Nations General Assembly recognized the fundamental importance of children by voting the “Convention on the Rights of the Child.” In harmony with many of these lofty principles, and considering the value Jesus placed on children when He said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matt 19:14)
We seek to aid children who suffer from:
Exploitation and vulnerability – Children are corrupted and exploited when they are used for cheap labour, sweat shops, , and the perverted sexual pleasure of adult predators, and are exposed to sexually explicit materials in the mass media and on the Internet.
Violence – Every year many children die violent deaths in armed conflict. Children bear deep physical and psychological scars, even after the fighting stops.
In response to the above issues and needs, Theocratic Church stand for the following rights of children:
The right to a loving and stable home where there is safety and freedom from abuse.
The right to adequate food, clothing, and shelter.
The right to an education that prepares children for a positive role in society by developing their personal potential and giving them earning capacity.
The right to a religious and moral education in the home and church.
The right to freedom from discrimination and exploitation.
The right to personhood, respect, and the development of positive self-esteem.
