We'll cover practical tips and tricks to help you communicate the gospel message in a way that kids can understand and enjoy.
"Kids Can Have Faith in Jesus Just as Much as They Believe in the Easter Bunny."
You might be surprised to know that kids can have faith in Jesus just as much as they believe in the Easter Bunny.
They need to know that Jesus loves them, died for their sins, and is waiting to come into their hearts. As they grow older, the world will try to lure them away from God with all kinds of temptations. But with the Word of God in their hearts, they can stay insulated from the harmful effects of sin.
As kids grow older, the world can be a tempting and harmful place. But with the Word of God in their hearts, they can stay insulated from the negative effects of sin.
Children come to Christ with open hearts and minds, unburdened by pride or worries about what others may think. They also forgive and let go easily, without holding grudges
like older people.
Children have their whole lives ahead of them to give to Jesus. Let's start sharing the love of Jesus with them today, as Jesus said in Matthew 19:14, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Are you ready to share Jesus with Children?
Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
(Matthew 19; 13-15 (NIV)
It was an old manuscript, A bit ragged and bound at the edge with a plastic spiral. What is referred to in the printing industry as a "comb-binding." The title of it caught my eye; "Sharing Jesus with Children" by BeeGee Langford. I discovered it as I was packing up materials from the offices of New Dimensions Evangelism in the basement of Felix Snipes's home in Henderson Mill Court in suburban Altlanta—now more than ten years ago. Felix had passed from this world —after 50 years in evangelism. The ministry had been passed on to me. It was an undertaking, for he had accumulated quite a collection of outreach and ministry items. So, as I sorted through the files, this aged booklet caught my eye. I put it in a box to move to the now-Florida offices. As I skimmed through the well-written text, I thought, "I need to do something with this!"
Billie Gail Langford—or "Bee Gee" as she was known to friends and family was actively involved at First Baptist Church in Pasadena, Texas, for 46 years. She passed from her earthly body in 2012. She had a passion for the salvation of children. As I continue to understand more about her, I know that God must have laid on her heart in 1983 to put down some of her vast knowledge in this guide. I was eleven years old in 1983, living in Kansas. Bee Gee didn't know me. I didn't know her. But God knew both of us. I am not sure how Bee Gee knew of Felix—or how he knew her—I can assume that they met perhaps while Felix was ministering in the Pasadena area. God's timing is always best.
As I was packing to leave in the summer of 2019 for a 6-week tour, I pulled that comb-bound book from the files and thought, "it's time to do something with this." So I carried it with me all that summer; Reading over it, thinking, and praying. I need to get this in the hands of people that have a passion, like Bee Gee, like me, to see children come to a saving knowledge of Christ.
As I began making plans for how to best use this material written by Bee Gee, and knowing that she had passed from this life, I reached out to her church—which put me in touch with her husband, Jerry. After emailing him, my wishes for this resource, I received a quick reply... "She would be very pleased that you would utilize this in your plans for an online course. Just today, I was organizing household stuff and found this booklet. The timing was a God thing..." God's timing is always best.
We've gone through BeeGee's words, updating when needed—but the foundation of her teaching is still rock solid. As it was built upon THE solid rock! So, here we are.
So, I am excited to offer you a free course to help enrich you to better Share Jesus with the children you minister to. I pray that it provides insight, understanding, and knowledge, making you an even more magnificent leader to small humans.
God's timing is always best.
Sharing Jesus,
