I made a decision early in my ministry training that built the foundation for my ministry to kids. I was only 20 years old and didn’t even realize I was doing something wise. This is my story about the most intelligent ministry decision I ever made. It was October of 1978. I was attending Rhema […]
After 45 years, I retired from my job as Kids Pastor. It was a good weekend. Many parents and kids came by to say “Thank You,” and I reconnected with many kids who grew up on our ministry teams and continue to serve the Lord as adults. So, what’s next? Debbie and I will take […]

So, we have made a coloring page just for Thanksgiving. It has 3 questions, a turkey, pie, and a pumpkin. Tip, have a […]
The worship of children is precious to the Lord. He really likes it when children worship Him. In fact, the Bible calls it perfect praise (see Matt. 21:16 nkjv). If the worship part of the service is for the Lord, what do you think He wants? Does He want it to be exciting? Does He […]
