How Strong Is Your Faith?

This is a science object lesson using water, salt, a 9-volt battery and paper clips to break the bond between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules.

The term “Kid-ology” was created by Karl in the mid-90’s as a rookie kids’ pastor.  It describes the “science of ministering to kids” which comes out of his desire to continually be learning the best ways to teach God’s Word and minister to kids from within their own culture. 

After decades of experimenting, research, trial and error, Pastor Karl, also known as the “Kidologist”, has compiled 50 Ministry Theorems he has discovered in the laboratory through weekly hands-on ministry.

Apply these theorems to your kids ministry, experiment with them, tweak them in your own laboratory, and watch as success bubbles up like you’ve never seen before.

May the learning never stop until every child has been reached. 

 

This is the book I've been waiting for!

I've been learning from Karl’s coaching, life-experience and crazy-good skills for years and I got super excited to see his wisdom and creativity in this new book. I ordered it instantly (after yelling HOORAY!) knowing its going to be a ministry-changing and life-improving book!
