Celebrating Easter Decisions!

 

We enjoyed seeing over 40 kids come forward to make decisions for Christ during our Easter services. What a joy and delight to gather with each of them after the service to introduce them to the new life they now have and share the journey ahead as they begin to follow Jesus. I enjoyed using my U-Turn Cards, which always makes the Gospel message fun, engaging and super clear. In fact, Monday morning I got a text from a friend who said, “Hey Karl. Just wanted you to know that I used your ‘U-Turn’ cards during my salvation call this past Sunday for Easter and had 14 kids give their lives to Christ. Thanks for a new and fun way to explain the Gospel and the Roman Road.” – Pastor Pat

 

If you haven’t downloaded the U-Turn Cards yet, be sure to snag up this fun and easy way to explain the Gospel. Just yesterday I was meeting with a mom and seven year old daughter, and I asked the child, “Do you remember what the word repent means?” And she beamed, “Yes! It means to turn around and go the other way,” because of the fun way this presentation teaches the meaning of repentance. God gave me this presentation over twenty years ago when I had a last-minute opportunity to share the Gospel with a group of kids, and I prayed for a new and engaging way to explain the life-changing message of Jesus. I can’t even count how many times I have used it since, and it remains the most effective tool in my Kidmin toolbox for sharing the Gospel with children.

5 Things Kid Ministers Wish Their Senior Pastor Knew
 

Do you ever feel like your senior pastor doesn’t understand the stress and struggles you endure working in kids ministry? Matt Norman addresses this concern with today’s featured zone post:

 

“Recently I asked a group of children’s ministry leaders on Facebook what sorts of things they wish their Senior Pastor knew. I asked because I believe that God is moving me in that direction and I wanted to make sure never to forget the concerns of my fellow children’s ministers.”
