Faith to Prepare

Faith to Prepare

“Prayer is asking for rain and faith is carrying the umbrella.”
(E.C. McKenzie from 1800 Quotable Quotes)

Many churches pray for revival and for souls and for an awakening for their community, but are we really ready?  If 100 new people landed in on your church this Sunday, would you be ready?  Would your children’s church ministry be ready to receive a bunch of new children.   True faith prepares.  True faith takes steps to be ready.  True faith has expectation.

I encourage you to get yourself ready because if you are praying for souls, then expect your prayers to be answered.  Have people trained and ready.

Game – Animal Noises

Game – Animal Noises

The game leader will show a picture of an animal to the children.  When the game leader says “Go”, the girls must make that animal noise as loudly as they can.    Then the leader will give the boys the chance to make the animal noise.    The game leader will decide which team made the noise that most resembles that of the animal.   The leader will award points for the winning team.  Recite memory verses between each round.

Worship is the Equalizer

Worship is the Equalizer

“Prejudice is the wall of fear build on the sands of suspicion surrounding the city of insecurity.”
(E.C. McKenzie from the book 1800 Quotable Quotes)

Many years ago I had gone to a work related conference and they invited some Japanese drummers to come and drum.  They were breathtaking to watch.  As I watched them I thought about how Heaven would be would when all the nations came together and presented their glory and honour and their best talents to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  I thought about how nothing puts us all in the same place and on the same level as worship.

I encourage that in children’s church make it a place a worship where God’s presence is there and and every child can feel that they have a part of this God.  Encourage the kids to always give their best worship to God and as a teacher you model giving God your best worship.  Make it breathtaking!
