Kinders & Tieners
(Ontmoeting Hulpbronne)
Baie jeughulpbronne is óf pret maar verswak die Woord, óf stewig maar pynlik droog — maar dit is nie hoe Jesus geleer het nie. Kinders het hulpmiddels nodig wat hulle help om met God te verbind, nie net vermaak nie. Hierdie versameling is vir bedieningsleiers, ouers en onderwysers — en begin sommer met die gratis hulpmiddel hieronder. Hierdie Bybel-inkleuringprent kom uit my inkleurboek oor die Evangelie van Lukas, wat ’n baie suksesvolle hulpmiddel in jeugbediening en Sondagskool geword het. Teken hieronder in vir die gratis PDF-inkleuringblad wat jy soveel keer as wat jy wil kan uitdruk — dit sal vandag direk na jou e-pos gestuur word.

How to (Actually) Train Sunday School Volunteers
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10 We know that those who teach in Sunday school are helpers and volunteers, serving the children. Of course. But if you're leading a kids ministry, God is also calling you to serve those who serve the kids. How to develop volunteers who have a heart for children & understand why kids ministry matters: This article is for the Sunday
So your teenager does not want to go to church with you...
Let’s discover some ways that you can become a parent who ensures that there is a seat at the table for your teenager at church:
How to Attract Young Adults to Church (Without Chasing Trends)
Young adults are famously known as 'the missing generation' for being M.I.A. in church pews nowadays. Yet I believe our concern over the fact that they left should not overshadow the elephant in the room: What young adults are really looking for in a church. This article summarizes my Master's thesis in Theology, where I asked exactly that question and found their answers confirmed my suspicions: Young adults are yearning for churches that are spiritual, international, inter
Sunday School Lessons for a Specific Bible Verse or Theme
Can't find a children's lesson that fits the particular Bible passage, theme or teaching emphasis you're working with? I create custom kids ministry curriculum around the needs of individual people, families, churches, and ministries. Children's church is almost always unpredictable. Sometimes a one-size-fits-all curriculum just does not cut it - believe me, I know. Sometimes the group you're working with ranges from toddlers to rather mature teens. Sometimes you have a speci
Children and Theology: What If We Stopped Underestimating Their Capacity for God?
“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord…” - Psalm 78:4 Both in my own life and in the lives of the kids I work with, I've come to the conclusion that children's capacity for God is much larger than we think. Then I studied the academic field called Child Theology and it confirmed my suspicions: We continually underestimate children's capacity to encounter and respond to God. Or, in the words of D.L. Moody: "It is a masterpiece of the devil to make
How to Teach Kids the True Meaning of Christmas
Simple, Bible-based ways to help children understand why Christians celebrate Christmas — teach kids the true meaning of Christmas at home or in Sunday school. Christmas may be one of those things that "used to be Christian". Many parents and churches struggle to reclaim the original meaning of Christmas, while kids nowadays believe it's all about gifts, Santa, and sparkly things. If your family, church, and culture practise Christmas but you want to regain its Christian mean
10 Bible Characters for Kids - First Things First
If I had to choose just ten Bible characters to introduce to kids, these are the ones I'd go with. Children often hear Bible stories but they don't get to connect with the people on the pages of Scripture. This blog post slows down and gets those basic things in place first: Who do they need to know for this story to make sense? Here are 10 Bible Characters for Kids to get a foundational understanding of the Bible. First things, first. May you find space here to pause, reflec
How to make Sunday School interesting
"A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." - Proverbs 17:22 I've heard it said that it's a sin to bore kids with the Bible. Yet it can feel super challenging to make this ancient Scripture and timeless God appeal to them. Many leaders and volunteers wonder how to make Sunday school and youth group interesting - not just "fun", but how to keep kids and teens engaged, how to truly see their eyes light up, and ultimately, how to teach them about
How to Help Your Child Grow in Faith: 7 Simple Ways for Parents to Disciple Kids at Home
"Impress them (My ways) on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." - Deuteronomy 6:7, emphasis added The single most important thing a Christian parent can do is lead their own kids to God. I've heard it said that the dinner table is your biggest opportunity for discipleship. It's holy ground. Not the pulpit, but the breakfast counter on a random Tuesday morning. Yet many parents wonder how
