Strategy to connect children of Egypt and the Middle East in a new real effective and practical way.  (From different backgrounds)
Creative arts to children (Music, dance and painting) and also other creative ideas.
New ideas in media to reach out to children of this time in a challenging and encouraging way.

NORTH AMERICA
A. Identify prayer networks that currently exist. Ask people to share what they are doing as a report. We can categorise what's happening.
B. Identify existing ministries to support these especially focused on the youth ministries, many of which are already interdenominational to bring these to a different level.
Connect these (intergenerational to 4-14 window)
Vision to see 24-7 house of prayer (intergenerational vision)
Follow-up to determine next step.
Possibility: local pages on IPC website

Start from one church locally à pilot project
Do family- oriented activity. Legislation/parents need to be present.
Music/ musicals/ discipling (JCPPII- Choirs in Finland)

To make the website available to entities like daycare and schools offering them the availability to the team to go and develop nuclei of prayer with them.
