When You Join Kidology, You Impact the World!

 

Often people are surprised to learn that Kidology.org is a non-profit organization. Many of our newer customers don't realize we just celebrated 20 years of ministry and were one of the first children's ministry websites on the Internet, and the first membership site on the Internet. Before ebay, Paypal, Amazon, YouTube and even Google, Kidology was already equipping and encouraging those who minister to children.

 

While we are supported by subscriptions to our website and sales in our online store (the first kidmin store to accept credit cards) we still give away free memberships almost daily and give away resources all over the world.

 

In fact, when you join Kidology.org and shop in our store, you are helping Kidology fulfill our MISSION of Equipping and Encouraging children's workers globally.

 

There are now a lot of sites for children's ministry and new places to buy stuff pop up all the time, but when you join or shop Kidology, you are helping a non-profit make a real difference in kids ministries globally.

Guard Your Heart is an object lesson game that can be used for Valentine's Day or any teaching situation that features Proverbs 4:23 - "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."

The object of this game is the guard your own paper heart while trying to capture others. However, as revealed at the end of the game, the winner is not the player with the most captured hearts. Rather, the winners are those who still retain their own heart, no matter how many they have captured!

Do You Suffer From Kidmin Tunnel Vision?

Tunnel

Do you have kidmin tunnel vision? It's easy to become isolated from the rest of the church ministries, especially when you are so busy and focused and dedicated to the needs of your own. Brian Dollar shares with you some of the dangers of having tunnel vision in your kids ministry.

 

"I will never forget the Staff Meeting where I confronted my Pastor about why I wasn't made aware of the big Missions opportunity that the rest of the staff seemed to already know about. I let him know how upset I was that those of us who are in Children's Ministry and aren't able to be in the Sanctuary on Sundays shouldn't be kept in the dark.

 

My pastor kindly asked me, 'Brian, did you not read the bulletin the last few weeks?' I had not. 'Did you read the letter I sent home to every household in our church?' I did not. 'Have you paid attention in Staff Meeting the last few weeks as we have been talking about it?' I had not. I had made the mistake of deciding, 'If it isn't directly related to Kids Ministry, I don't really need to pay attention to it.'

 

Turns out it wasn't my pastors fault I didn't know about the opportunity.  It was my own."

Karl in California at Servant's Conference
CMSC Conference

If you are in Southern California, I invite you to join me at the Children's Ministry Servant's Conference March 27 and 28, 2015.

 

I'm excited about this conference because it reminds me so much of the Kidology University conferences I did for ten years (15 events in three states!) and the spirit behind them that was exactly why I did those. 

 

I'll be serving as the keynote speaker on Saturday, with Steve Alley on Friday. I'd love to see you there if you live in the Southern California area. I can see already it'll be a great event for a super low price.
