The Hunger Games Whenever there is a phenomenon like The Hunger Games, what is seldom asked is why so many people are drawn to the movie?

What does $450 million dollars in three weeks tell us about our culture?  Why is money spent to see a young girl defy a culture devoid of morals that devalues human life? Especially when the young people flocking to see the film live in a culture nearly devoid of morals and that ever increasingly devalues human life? It's a bit ironic!

Perhaps the young people we are wringing our hands over are not as ignorant and naive as we think. Are they seeing what's happening around them and hungry for a Savior?

DiscipleTown #17 - How to Be a Global Christian
"How to Be a Global Christian""Go Global!"

How to Be a Global Christian is Unit 17 in the DiscipleTown Kid's Church curriculum series from Karl Bastian and DiscipleLand.

Christians must expand their horizons and embrace God's heart for people all over the world. By broadening kids' perspectives to see beyond their local church and community, this unit will enable your children to grasp God's great plan and to participate in His Great Commission.

First, children need to see that God has a plan for every person to know His Son, Jesus. Next, they need to understand the Good News that Jesus came to bring salvation to every person - everywhere - so they will be able to share it. Then, they must understand that God uses His Church to spread His Good News around the world. Finally, they need to be challenged to have "beautiful feet" by sharing God's wonderful message.
