Igniting the flame of evangelism in kids.

Posted on by

When it comes to evangelism, it is not enough to simply teach children about it; we must encourage and empower them to actively practice evangelism themselves. Interestingly, many children have already mastered the art of evangelism within the realm of video games. When they discover a game they enjoy, they enthusiastically share their excitement with […]

Helping Christian Kids Navigate Gender Identity.

Posted on by

About one year ago, the Holy Spirit began to speak to me to write a curriculum for kids’ church about gender identity. When I grew up, there was an understanding that all adults had. You didn’t talk to kids about some things, but the culture has changed. Today in many of our schools, teachers are […]

TEACHING KIDS HOW TO BE UNSELFISH

Posted on by

Human love can be selfish. It is normal for us to put ourselves first and to think about our own needs. This is why we need God’s love. God’s love or agape love is a supernatural love. It is not normal and does not act or react normally. When someone is mean to us by […]

Power-Packed Kids

Posted on by

by Billy Burns Here is a conclusion that I’ve derived in my 40+ years of ministry – our churches are not producing power-packed boys and girls. Why? The children in our churches are not being given an opportunity to know and have a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Really? Really! I know that you are […]

What You Believe, Is What You Get

Posted on by

You Get What You Believe In 1 Samuel chapter three, we read the story of how God spoke to the child, Samuel. The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions. 2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down […]

Learning To Listen

Posted on by

It is important to teach our children how to listen to their conscience and obey God in the small things. I Timothy 4:1-2, “Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils: Speaking lies in hypocrisy: having the conscience […]

Why do you serve in Kids Ministry?

Posted on by

This is an email I sent to all our parents to recruit some new volunteers. It worked well.  We have been doing small groups for nine months and our kids look forward to it.  Do you know that each lesson of Super Church 2.0 has a Small Group lesson? I find that leading Small Groups is […]

The Most Critical Years for a Child’s Spiritual Growth

Posted on by

The experts say that a child’s most formative years are their youngest — from birth to age five. About 90 percent of a child’s brain develops in that time, according to studies. And 85 percent of a child’s intellect, personality, and social skills are developed by age five. This begs the question, Is this also true […]

How to talk to kids about tragedy

Posted on by

It’s hard to believe.   Another school shooting.  19 Children and 2 Adults were killed at an Elementary School in Texas. My heart is broken for the parents who lost kids today. No parent should ever have to see his or her child/children die. My heart also aches for the kids who are still alive, that […]

The Quest: Biblically Literate Kids

Posted on by

Children in our churches are becoming increasingly unlearned as far as the Bible is concerned. I hear many KidMin Leaders complain about the problem — mainly because there is no starting point. I have taken that as a personal mission to do whatever I can to become part of the solution. Here are a few of my […]
