A FIRM FOUNDATION?
It is thrilling to see all the creativity and excitement that is pouring into children's ministry these days. There is now a steady stream of new resources and ideas to help make your ministry as fun and adventurous as possible. Church is more fun than ever! But is it more effective? When we take a close look at the results -- teens living for God... or not -- we must ask ourselves whether we are truly doing the best job possible to lay a spiritual foundation that will outlast our fun ministries. This month we release the third Kidology Online Training Leadership Lab: Kid-Focused Ministry Foundations. We invite you to examine the foundation of your ministry before you do any more remodeling or decorating above the surface. The stakes have never been higher and the need has never been greater to be truly effective in making young disciples of Jesus Christ.

Because Jesus Loves Children,

DEALING WITH CONFLICT
"I have a past volunteer who basically stepped aside because she refused to attend a training mandatory for all children's ministry volunteers," notes Kidology Network Forums member susvan. "This all happened back in November. Well, the other day I received a scathing, hateful e-mail from her full of lies and assumptions."
