Jesus said "Suffer little children come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the Kingdom of God" Luke 18:16

Introduction
Sunday School is now a worldwide movement. As some one has described, the heart of a child is like a blank paper, and when given to an artist, will be painted as a beautiful picture. Whereas in the hands of an immoral and corrupt person, it will be spoiled and thrown into the waste-bin. This reveals the fact that in order to get molded in to a good, civilized and cultured generation, the small children are to be trained accordingly. The root cause of the present day unrest around the world is due to the lack of proper training of our young ones. The motto of Sunday School is to train the children in the way that they should go.

The present Sunday School generation is deeply indebted to Robert Raikes, who is known as the father of the Sunday School movement. He originally started it in England in 1780 with the help of Rev. Thomas Stock, and later it spread all over the world.

The history of Sunday school activities in the Indian Pentecostal churches is as old as the history of the churches itself. Soon after the formation of the Pentecostal churches during the 1930s, Sunday School had also started with the aim of training the younger generation. In 1960, Pastor K.J. Samuel, the architect of IPC Sunday School Association had initiated to form the IPC 'Sunday School Samajam'. He was its first President. Under the care of Pastor K.E. Abraham, the founder of India Pentecostal Church of God, Sunday School movement had flourished. Later it was known as - the IPC Sunday School Association, which is now spread world-wide among the IPC churches. Glory to God for raising up dedicated and far-sighted servants of God who gave leadership to the Sunday School movement from time to time.

It’s beginning
The Pentecostal Church of Kuwait, was the first Pentecostal Church in Kuwait to start the Sunday School activities. It was inaugurated on 14th December 1973, by the late Pastor P.M. Philip during his visit to Kuwait.

Initially the classes were conducted in a believer’s house with 35 children and 4 teachers. We are grateful to our talented and dedicated teachers, whose altruistic services, with an in-sight that 'today's Sunday School is tomorrow's church', are behind the growth of this movement. Our Lord was gracious enough to bless our Sunday School and increase its strength every year. We had 130 students and 19 teachers during pre-invasion time. Though it is titled as “Sunday” School, classes are being held on Friday, which is a weekend holiday in this part of the world.

We have a Sunday School council which consists of,
The Pastor as the Patron,
Church's Secretary as ex-officio member,
A nominated Parent representative and
All the teachers

Unfortunately our Sunday School Activities came to a standstill, due to the Iraqi invasion on 2nd August 1990. After the liberation of Kuwait, many of the teachers could not return and some of them even left Kuwait to USA and Canada. Most of them are continuing in the Lord's ministry in one way or the other and few have entered eternal Glory after their ministry. The righteous God through this Sunday School movement, will reward all those who had labored for Him.

The believers who returned to Kuwait after the liberation, restarted our Sunday School activities in February 1992 with a handful of students. The Lord who would not despise the small beginnings, have showered His blessings and increased the strength of the Sunday School. Presently we have 20 teachers and 145 students studying in twelve classes, from the age group of 3 to 18 years.

Sunday School is now conducted in a rented auditorium from 7.45am to 9.00am on every Friday. The first thirty minutes is set apart for the singing session and the next 45 minutes is devoted for teaching in separate classrooms.

We consider that every child is important to us and they are a unique creation of God. Our endeavor is to plant the word of God firmly in their heart and equip them to live godly in this world.

The syllabus is prepared and published by the IPC Sunday School Association. Some other relevant scriptural books are used for infants to make the classes lively.

We conduct scripture exam, verses & music competitions for each class prior to the closing of every year. The 1st, 2nd & 3rd prize winners are given suitable prizes on the Sunday School Anniversary Day.

God Almighty enabled us to extend help to many deserving students in India. We also sponsored the printing of the Sunday School textbooks, supported the gospel mission fields in different parts of our home land and distributed Bibles to the unreached areas.

Bro. KM. Abraham is our Sunday School Head Master since 1998.

Conclusion
We give all glory and honor to our heavenly Father who guided us for the last thirty years victoriously in bring up a young generation for the Lord through this ministry in this foreign land. We humbly ask every one’s prayer for this ministry in the coming days so that God may raise up young people to stand for Him in this present world.
