In 1943, Robert Murray, a prison minister, saw a need for the children who visited their parents in prison. He felt that they needed to be reached with the gospel before their hearts became hardened and follow in their parents footsteps. Thus began Children's Haven, an inter-denominational Christian ministry that brings Jesus' love to inner-city children.
Children’s Haven offers a place of refuge for disadvantaged children and teens. It’s a place where kids feel loved and safe, and most importantly, a place where they hear the life-changing Gospel of Jesus. Children go to after school clubs for programs and supervision under the missionaries of the Haven from September to June. In the summer months, Chilaven is the summer camp where the children enjoy the pool, crafts, canoes, prizes, a carnival and Bible lessons. The fun, laughter, fresh air, hugs and friendships are a welcome change from the difficult lives they live at home.
Children's Haven has three locations, Worcester, Allston and Dorchester that provide after school activities for children. The children are taught how to use the Bible and encouraged to begin reading it daily. Many come to a personal faith and acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. They are then encouraged to be an active part of a local church. Trinity Evangelical has been supporting the Haven for twelve years with our offerings and our prayers.
