Empowering children for a lifestyle of Prayer and Service to Transform our World
Lelonnie is currently living and ministering in Kansas City USA and for 13 years, was Elementary Chaplain of thedanielacademy.com, a Kindergarten - Grade 12 private Christian school.
She taught children aged 5-11, helping them to practice many different kinds of prayer, meditate on Scripture and creatively engage with the word of God. "I long for children to understand their identity as children of the Father, intimate partners with the Son and as ones growing in communion with the indwelling Spirit. Then out of that place, to minister the kingdom in all its facets to the world in all its need."
She writes books for children on prayer and Biblical themes, books for adults on intimacy with God, intercession, preparing the Bride for the return of Jesus, and on ministering to children.
The key element of her ministry is Matt 19:14: 14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” She has served with churches in Canada and the UK, IHOPKC's Children's Equipping Center, The Daniel Academy, and alongside children's ministers and pastors around the world.
Lelonnie has currently started a free, online Bible school for children; you can find this on her website. The website also has a bookstore and many other videos for children and adults. Facebook page: Children of Prayer.
Kathleen Trock-Molhoek lives in Michigan, USA. She is the founder of Pebbles and Stones. Pebbles and Stones brings the Gospel to children and adults through biblical storytelling followed by listening to God’s voice, journaling, sharing and praying in a multi-generational setting. She is a writer, an educator, intercessor, and a believer in the Kingdom's benefits of an inter-generational approach to prayer, community building, and worship. She firmly believes that we grow in community, heal in community and walk out our faith in community.
The Pebbles and Stones model has been used in over 50 countries. Kathleen travels the world training people how to use the Pebbles and Stones model. Church leaders, Bible school teachers, orphanage caregivers, village leaders, and others attend the trainings to learn how this intergenerational model helps individuals grow in their relationship with God and others. As they seek to see how physical, emotional and spiritual needs can be met, authentic communities emerge.
Kathleen has published two books: I Love To Pray (recently published in Amharic) and Hiding Places / Escondites. Her third book, I Heard You Whisper, will be published in 2020. Kathleen has published curricula using the Pebbles and Stones model: God Speaks and Kids Love to Pray, Too!
Kathleen is National Coordinator for North American Children in Prayer, a member of the International Children in Prayer Movement, an organizer for 24/7 Children’s Prayer Call, a participant in Prayer for 31 Frontier People Groups, and a partner with One Hope.

She has written a manual and is running courses for children age 5 to 12 where they learn to follow Jesus and pray for the sick. Eva has, during the last 20 years, worked in a Family Camp in Central Finland, leading worship for children, teaching them and running a workshop for children age 5 to 12 about creative prayer.

Her background is in business (MA in Economics). She has travelled to many gatherings and conferences, including 4to14 Window movement conferences in Singapore and Bangkok and Children in Prayer Gatherings in Chennai and New York exploring how God wants to train and use children in the Kingdom. She heads National Children’s Workers’ Network under the Evangelical Alliance. She does minister to children in a local church and in different settings in Finland and internationally where she has been invited to.
Eva strongly believes that children are the church of today, not of tomorrow and we need to give them a voice and root them deeply in knowing God and hearing His voice. She feels she is called to be a voice for children. In that calling she speaks to pastors, children’s workers, parents and church members about rooting and releasing the children as legal heirs of God’s Kingdom, sons and daughters of the Father.
Based in West Palm Beach, Florida, the Esther Network International, Inc. and its World Shapers Club is headed by Mary Tome.
Through its late Founder, Esther Ilnisky, ENI has been a voice for children for more than 25 years, encouraging spiritual leaders in homes, schools and churches to recognize, equip, release and partner with children in global intercession. Esther’s book, Let the Children Pray!, casts God’s vision and chronicles some of their “adventures on the PRAY ground!”
Founded and directed by Mary Tome, ENI’s World Shapers Club joins praying children daily in a number of nations via a monthly prayer calendar. Children declare: I will pray for the children of the world today. So they’ll know all about our God who loves them so. World Shapers (also known as Generation NOW) pray for children, teens, families, neighborhoods and nations.
Mary has been part of ENI for 35+ years. She is an Advisory Team member and Guardian for the 24/7 National Children’s and Youth Prayer Call and a facilitator on behalf of ENI on the Global Family 24-7 Prayer Call.

Jeffrey and Irene first caught the vision of coaching children to pray and intercede when they brought their two children then ages 10 and 6, to Seoul Korea, as part of the 40 children intercessors who were participants brought to undergird the GCOWE conference in prayer in 1995.
The mentor for Jeffrey and Irene in this ‘children-in-prayer’ ministry is the late Mama Esther Ilnisky. At that conference, they saw the children intercessors (including their own two children) moving in the gifts of the Holy Spirit with words of knowledge, words of prophecy, seeing visions and praying powerfully for the adult leaders at the conference. Since then, in 1995, they were representatives for the Esther Network International (ENI) now known as World Shapers Club (WSC) in their nation.
Jeffrey and Irene had conducted many children intercession seminars in different churches, children prayer camps and children prayer conferences in their own nation and beyond. Many children participants have encountered and experience God in their lives in these seminars with many having visions of Jesus, experiencing healings and even deliverance from unclean spirits. There were even a few cases where young children fasted for their parents to be saved and be reconciled in their relationship and it happened!
In 2010, Jeffrey and Irene were speakers at the National Children Prayer Leaders Seminar in Yangon, Myanmar and had witnessed a raising up of thousands of praying children in that nation during that time. In 2012, they were one of the workshop speakers at the first World Prayer Assembly (Children Prayer Track) in Jakarta, Indonesia. In 2013 and 2014, they were also one of the speakers for the equipping of children prayer leaders in raising children intercessors in Hong Kong.
Prior to the Covid Pandemic, Jeffrey and Irene had conducted regular children intercession in their home for many years with families from different churches. Now they continue these prayer meetings over zoom with the Children In Prayer (CIP) International Family monthly gatherings. Currently, they are in the CIP International Working Team.
