Happy 20th Birthday, Kidology! 
Happy Birthday Kidology

20 years ago this December, the Internet gave birth to a site dedicated to EQUIPPING and ENCOURAGING Those Who Minister to Children: Kidology.org was born! 

  

It's been an incredible 20 years, and while the Internet has exploded with new helps for those who minister to children, Kidology.org has remained the leader in content and services for those who minister to kids.

  

To celebrate, we are praying for 500 DONORS over the next 3 months who will give a $20 donation to celebrate 20 years and help us with some website enhancements for the next 20 years.

  

» Find out how you can become one of the 500!

5 Leadership Don'ts You Should Do 
Do the Don'ts
How often do you focus on the ministry "DO'S" and ignore the ministry "DON'TS"? Maybe you should be looking at the "don'ts" as a list of "do's". Because sometimes you need to "do" the "don'ts". Confused yet? Allow this article by Craig Jutila to clear things up for you:

"'Be proactive, get it done, just do it, move forward, vision cast, make progress and look ahead!' These words all resonate with a leader, don't they? It's that one foot in front of the other mindset that keeps leaders moving forward. However, should we ever take a moment to think about the don'ts? ... Here is a list of 5 to think about.'" 

  

Don't Be A Turkey! Get Operation: Thanks!   
Operation: Thanks
We live in a "gimmie-gimmie" culture that focuses on how much we can get. God wants us to have an attitude of gratitude for the many blessings we already have.

The purpose of this unit is not only to help kids focus on being thankful, but to challenge them to think of some people that they haven't expressed thanks to, and help them think of some ideas to express their thanks in practical ways.

Theme Verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Yosemite Summit What is Yosemite Summit?
Yosemite Summit is a 5-day personal sabbatical for male children's pastors, situated in the heart of one of the most spectacular National Parks in the United States. It's "The Unconference for Children's Pastors!"

This refreshing summit of renewal from May 17-21, 2015, is available to a limited number of men who will be staying at a luxurious lodge inside Yosemite, only 10 miles from breathtaking Yosemite Valley.

 

Get away from the office, the church, the phones, the Internet, and the busyness of life and ministry. Recuperate with some fellow ministers while hiking, worshiping, and enjoying genuinely refreshing fellowship surrounded by vistas that only God could create.
