A NEW WAY TO EQUIP AND TEACH As you may have heard via my blog, tweets, or Facebook updates, it's been hard to contain my excitement about the opportunity to write an entirely new children's church curriculum for DiscipleLand called DiscipleTown.
While many children's ministry folks may primarily associate me as the founder of Kidology.org or a children's ministry writer, speaker, & networker, the reality is my ministry passion has always been first and foremost teaching children. Everything else has flowed as a result of this primary passion.
Having taught over 1,000 Kids Church services, I am excited to have this opportunity to partner with DiscipleLand to create a unique curriculum that will focus on teaching kids the "Disciple Skills" they need to live a victorious Christian life as young disciples of Jesus. The first of 24 units is now available for pre-order! I look forward to answering your questions and hearing how God uses DiscipleTown in your church!
Because
Jesus Loves Children,
Karl D. Bastian - a.k.a. "The Kidologist"
PRE-ORDER DiscipleTown AND SAVE! DiscipleTown is a Kid's Church curriculum developed by Karl Bastian with the folks at DiscipleLand. It's currently available at the special pre-order price of only $39.95!
In DiscipleTown, you'll find a customizable curriculum that seems like it was written by someone just like you... because it was!
Rather than providing a rigid plan to follow, you can quickly and easily modify DiscipleTown to fit your ministry needs. By design, DiscipleTown is packed with ideas so you'll never be left needing to supplement the lesson, but its flexibility allows you to add your own unique teaching elements.
COMING SOON: OBJECT TALKS The next generation of our popular ToyBox Tales are coming soon... and they are called Object Talks!
In this first "sneak peek," a conversation between a young 10x magnifying glass and his 200x grandfather illustrate from Psalm 69:30 what it means to "Magnify the Lord."
MOVIE REIVEW: G-FORCE "We know that the U.S. government allocates big portions of money for animal-related projects... some more baffling than others. So is the idea of training genetically perfect guinea pigs, and a mole, and a fly, to be covert operatives so far-fetched?
This is the plot of G-Force, the latest family-oriented film from Disney with a combination of live-action and CGI.
As with all Kidology movie reviews, we provide children's ministry-oriented teaching tools such as an overview, areas of concern, teachable themes with scripture, and discussion questions.
