Gifts They Bring
$25.00Children are often touted as the “future” of the church, but their role in the church today is less frequently considered. In The Gifts They Bring, New Testament scholar, pastor, and mother Amy Lindeman Allen challenges readers to reconsider the way we view children in the church, focusing on our present life together as a diverse, inclusive community of faith. To do this, Lindeman Allen looks to the past, rereading familiar Gospel accounts with an eye to the experience of childhood in Jesus’ world, highlighting both the gifts that children brought to Jesus’ ministry as well as those they received from him. Through this lens, she invites readers to reconsider the age and relationship of well-known and lesser-known Bible characters, including the Bethlehem shepherds; James and John, the two disciples who followed Jesus alongside their mother; and the young boy whose lunch Jesus used to feed the five thousand. In the process, Lindeman Allen reconsiders ministry with children today, moving away from a transactional model of imparting wisdom to children to a dialogical model of learning and serving together with children. Each chapter reads a different Gospel story in conversation with experiences of real children in the church today, bringing into focus the varied gifts that children bring in a practice of inclusive ministry. These gifts include participation, proclamation, advocacy, listening, sharing, and partnership. Readers will grow more attuned to recognize the gifts that we each bring-children and adults-as essential members working together as one community in the body of Christ and so to share in the gift of Christ together.

Sweet Sound : The Power Of Discipling Kids In Worship
$29.35A Yancy Ministries Inc. Title
UNLOCK THE POWER OF DISCIPLING KIDS IN WORSHIP
STOP just doing songs and START leading worship by making disciples who know what it means to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.
No matter our age, each one of us was designed to praise, and for our praise to shift the atmosphere and usher in freedom and deliverance. Our worship is a sacrifice unto the Lord-this includes the praises of children. It’s powerful. It’s beautiful. It’s sweet. Can you imagine children singing out, with their whole hearts, praises to their King? It’s quite possibly the sweetest sound you will ever hear! It matters. Jesus himself said, “From the lips of children and infants, you, Lord, have called forth your praise.” (Matthew 21:16)
This book is full of prophetic, practical, and power-filled truth. It will change the way you view kids worship, as well as your own ability to lead. By using examples from the life of King David, as well as her own personal experiences, Yancy is purposed to empower you to raise up kids who desire to live a life of worship on a daily basis, not only on Sundays. This is about their future. Are you ready to be a part of that?
Together let’s learn to lift up the Sweet Sound of praise we were made for!

Creed Childrens Leader Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$18.99We’re all searching. Sometimes the search is easy: simply type a question and the answer pops up. But sometimes our questions are complicated, and the answers are difficult to see and harder to articulate. How do we discover and examine the truths that give meaning and purpose to life? Adam Hamilton believes that some powerful answers are contained in the Apostles’ Creed, an early statement of foundational Christian beliefs. In this six-week study for Lent, Easter, and beyond, Hamilton considers important questions of life, reality, and truth. He explores not only what Christians believe, but also why they believe it and why it matters. The Children’s Leader Guide contains session ideas for younger and older children, including games, activities, craft ideas, and reproducible handouts. Children are forming their own faith, and we can help shape it by looking at the beliefs contained in the Apostles’ Creed and presenting them in a way children can follow and enjoy.

I want people to know they can. God will certainly bless them and all the little ones they are trying to help. Jesus said, “Feed My Lambs.”

Ministerio Con Proposito Para – (Spanish)
$14.99Muchos ministerios de ninos son un frenesi de actividad, dirigidos por dedicados voluntarios y personal que emplean largas horas y duro trabajo para el bien de los ninos y los padres a quienes sirven. Sin embargo, a pesar de las buenas intenciones, muchos ministerios de ninos actualmente no son eficaces. Carecen de proposito e intencionalidad. Un veterano por veinticinco anos del ministerio de ninos en la iglesia local, el pastor Steve Adams, ha ministrado a familias en multiples iglesias, desde congregaciones diminutas hasta su actual posicion en la iglesia Saddleback. En este libro, Steve aplica las revolucionarias perspectivas de Una iglesia con proposito al ministerio de ninos y guia a los lectores en un viaje de descubrimiento y alteracion, mostrandoles como desarrollar un proceso ministerial intencional que dirija a los ninos hacia la salud espiritual a la vez que edifica un ambiente ministerial saludable para quienes trabajan con ninos. Aprenderas como hacer y responder cinco preguntas sencillas pero poderosas: * Por que estamos en este viaje? * Que necesitamos para cumplir nuestra mision? * A quienes intentamos alcanzar? * Como movilizaremos a nuestros ninos hacia la salud espiritual? * Donde estamos ahora y hacia donde vamos? No hay una clave unica para un ministerio de ninos exitoso ni tampoco hay un solo camino que funcione para todo el mundo. Pero hay un proceso demostrado que se puede seguir, y Steve muestra como ministerios infantiles en todo el mundo estan alcanzando el potencial que Dios les ha dado al descubrir su proposito biblico, evitando las trampas de la frustracion y el agotamiento.

Ministry Training Academies
$15.93Ministry Training Academies are dynamic ministries that train and release children to do ministry. They provide children with a unique opportunity to learn ministry through hands-on experience.
Ministry Training Academies also help to fulfill the purpose of the local church. Given that children make up approximately 25% of the church population, it would be unlikely for a church to fulfill what God has called it to do unless children are engaged in helping fulfill that purpose.
Can you imagine if every evangelical church equipped and released their children in ministry? Not only would there be radical changes in the church of Jesus Christ, there would be changes in homes, schools, and neighborhoods. Children who walk in newness of Christ as a believer AND partner with Him in ministry, will have a profound impact in their world.

Starting Out In Childrens Ministry
$12.99I’m going to be a brilliant children’s leader. God is lucky to have me!
Is this you? If so, this isn’t the book for you. But maybe you’re the opposite? You’re a bit nervous about getting involved with children, you’ve had no formal training and you’re not sure that God can use you to do anything much.

If you are a children’s worker, why not suggest this book to your team of volunteers, many of whom may not have had any formal training?
Alison Mitchell is convinced that teaching young people about Jesus is the best job in the world. She has trained literally thousands of children’s workers over the past 30 years and is passionate about helping others to get as excited about children’s ministry as she is.

This book offers the methodology as well as 30 Old Testament and 24 New Testament stories with lesson plans.

Chapel Chats For Children Of All Ages
$28.11For over twenty years, thousands of children (and adults, too) were inspired by the Bible-based stories known as “Chapel Chats” that were shared by Pastor Jerald Borgie and his koala puppet, Jeremiah. Sixty-six of these “chats” along with fifteen illustrated graphics, drawn by artist, Brooke Plowman, are included in the book.
“Pastor Borgie has a reputation for drawing you into his stories, and his anecdotes are famously popular with both young and old. For many decades, he has invited children to have a seat before him, then his twinkling eyes would take over and a bond was formed. I’m pleased he’s taken this opportunity to share his favorites with a wider audience.”

Give Me Jesus (Reprinted)
$22.50100 years from now the only thing that will matter is a person’s relationship with Jesus Christ. The gospel is the good news that we can have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Will Our Children Have Faith (Expanded)
$26.95Foundational text for Christian formation of children by well-known author, priest and scholar
Includes a Study Guide, by faith formation specialist Sharon Ely Pearson
Originally written in 1976, revised in 2000, and translated in six languages, this classic critique of Christian education is newly revised and expanded and includes Westerhoff’s overview and perspective on the state of Christian education over the past forty years – plus his role in that history.
According to Westerhoff, instead of guiding faith formation within the family, the church, and the school, we relegate religious education to Sunday morning classes. There, children learn the facts about religion, but how will they learn or experience faith? How can we nourish and nurture the faith of children, instead of only teaching the facts?

Empowering Children : Principles, Strategies, And Techniques For Mobilizing
$23.51Empowering Children is especially designed for field practitioners seeking ways to encourage young people-particularly the marginalized-to become more involved in changing their circumstances. Through dozens of exercises and lessons, the book presents a variety of practical methods for engaging children in the development process-from assessments to evaluations. Discussions on issues such as personal empowerment, self-esteem, problem analysis, and child protection can equip leaders to help children serve as agents of change who understand how valuable they are. The book concludes with preparations for a community child participation plan.
From a Christian perspective, the realization that all children have dignity and are created in the image of God helps us to see that every child’s input is valuable. The Bible’s concepts of community, church, and mission further help us to see that God not only uses kids in his wonderful plan, but that he also wants all of his children-male, female, young, and old-to participate in his work in the world.
