It's been a busy conference season for me! I've spoken at seven conferences in the last three months and many of you may be new to Kidology as a result of connecting with me in an exhibit hall or a workshop that I recently taught. While it's been exhausting and I'm looking forward to more time at home, meeting people like you who I get to serve on Kidology.org is the highlight of these events. So many dropped by the Kidology booth to express thanks. As I've typed up hundreds of e-mails from that red clipboard in the workshops, seeing so many names, church domains, and nationalities represented has been such a blessing to me. 

 

Twenty years ago God gave me a vision for Equipping and Encouraging children's workers via the Internet - and to see how it has grown has been amazing. We are making a difference!

 

We have some exciting plans as we head into the next twenty years! If Kidology has touched your life or ministry, would you consider giving a gift to help raise funds for some much needed website redevelopment? Our official fund raiser is $20 for the next 20 years, but you can give any amount and it'll be a blessing. If everyone reading this sent us $5 we would raise all the money we need for what we have planned. Could you be one of them? 

 

Thank YOU for all YOU do to reach and teach kids for Jesus and for letting us be a part of your ministry!

 

 

Because Jesus Loves Children!

Preparing for Special Needs Kids on Easter Sunday
Special Needs
Easter is an excellent opportunity to welcome kids of all backgrounds, and you don't want to miss the chance to reach out to EVERY child who comes through your doors. Doug Olson gives a list of 10 ways you can prepare and be ready to welcome all the kids who visit your church, including those with special needs. 

 

"Easter is a big day in the life of church ministry. Not only is it a big day Biblically, it is a big day because we know that we will have plenty of visitors on our church campuses. No doubt we feel that crunch in children's ministry. You have been planning and strategizing so you can have as seamless a day as possible. Some of you may have included plans for special needs kids but many of you may have not. With just a few ideas and a bit of preparation you can be ready for the special needs child and their parents."
