Pastor John Brown and the G-Team

On Tuesday 1/26/10 we had pastor John Bowman in our class. Pastor John is the children’s pastor at Calvary Assembly of God in Dover Delaware. Besides serving hundreds of “churched kids” on Sunday mornings in their church services. Pastor John has a ministry called the G-team (The God Team). This ministry reaches out during the week to 400-500 “unchurched kids” of the 10,00 plus children in the neighborhoods of Kent County(mostly low income and government housing neighborhoods). The G-team travels to parks or wherever they can park their Truck. They have special trucks that convert into a stage and they do programs for the children. A gospel message is always presented, since the attendance is very irregular, kids come and go. However, there is always games and music, something engaging. Even if the kids aren’t coming to hear about Jesus, they are coming because the G-team is there. These kids know that the G-team cares and will be there. This is a place where they can go and be safe and loved; hence, the kids will keep coming. There were two things that Pastor John said which I was not expecting, yet pleased to hear. The first is that the G-team does not go out under the churches name, they do not promote their church, they promote God. Another was that They gave one of their trucks to another church in the area, not affiliated with Pastor John’s church, in order for them to use it to minister to Children. The Vision of God Team is to reach children and bring them God’s love, they will do this in anyway they can and will encourage others to as well.
