Candlelight Christian Fellowship is starting a new program here in Kootenai County and Shoshone County called Children of Warriors.
The mission of Children of Warriors is to provide enrichment opportunities to children ages 1-18—along with their families—by discovery, assessment, and supply.
Our Vision
Our vision is to develop resources for the support of children and their families including but not limited to spiritual enrichment, education and character development, summer camps, sporting activities, enriching entertainment, medical/dental/vision assistance, housing assistance, food, clothing, or necessary hygiene supplies, etc.
The first local activity set for this year is an “Essay Contest” (video or written).
A 1- to 2-minute video or 1- to 2-page written submission must be developed by a young person 18 years of age or under nominating a “warrior” for recognition.
We are looking for local persons from Kootenai and/or Shoshone Counties who exemplify resilience and strength in character, parenting, and/or guardianship amidst difficult circumstances. A “warrior” is that person who, through facing trial, has demonstrated heroic action and perseverance.
The “essay” should tell the story and background of the “warrior” and child/children.
-
Video and/or written essay submissions may be uploaded to www.childrenofwarriors.org.
-
Submissions may be received from residents of Shoshone County and Kootenai County, beginning April 18th and no later than June 14, 2021.
-
Video awards will be given at the “Kids and Rigs” event located at the Silver Lake Mall in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on July 3, 2021, at noon.
Prizes Included for the Child of a Warrior
There will be two “Essay Contest” grand prize winners in Shoshone County and two grand prize winners in Kootenai County, making a total of 4 winners between both counties:
-
An all-inclusive FREE trip for two (one adult and one child) to the Noah’s Ark museum in Kentucky (up to $5,000.00 value).
-
An all-inclusive FREE trip for two (one adult and one child) for an upper rim and rafting trip at the Grand Canyon (up to $5,000.00 value).
The winning child’s video will be broadcast on the Children of Warriors website (www.childrenofwarriors.org), YouTube channel, and the Candlelight website. Written essays will be posted.

Since 1986, the Kootenai County Farmers' Market has been providing the communities of North Idaho with fresh, locally-grown produce.

So grab a cup of coffee, listen to the live music and peruse the more than 100 producers and artisans who make up our two markets--from cheese to chairs, breads to birdhouses--you'll find it at the market!

The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, signed into law in 2020, authorized 988 as the new three-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. All telephone service providers in the U.S. must activate the number no later than July 2022; however, many providers will choose to implement the service sooner.
Once a Veteran's telephone service provider makes 988 available, Veterans can use this new option by dialing 988 and pressing 1 to contact the Veterans Crisis Line.
