Churches
First-Time Visitors: Include
"The Story of Jesus for Children" video as a gift in your
visitor packet.
Commitment Sunday: Evaluate
the spiritual life of children in your Sunday school. Consider having
a "Commitment Sunday" the first Sunday of the Sunday school
year or during Christmas, Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday or the last
Sunday of your Sunday school year. You will make sure each child
has been given the opportunity to ask Jesus into his or her life.
Sunday School: Use "The
Story of Jesus for Children" as a "launching pad"
for a study of biblical truth in your children's Sunday school classes.
A five lesson Teacher/Mentor's
Guide specifically designed for use with the video
is available.
Vacation Bible School: The video
presents the story of Jesus from the announcement of His conception
to His death and resurrection. It ends with Sara and Benjamin challenging
the audience (i.e. all the children at VBS!) to invite Jesus into
their lives. What better way to wrap up a time of vacation Bible
school than with an invitation like this! Then, present each child
with a video to take home and share with family and friends. We
also have a partnership with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF),
who has developed a VBS curriculum and is available through our
ministry.
Clubs: Schedule a showing of
"The Story of Jesus for Children" for a club/Bible study
night. (AWANA, Pioneer Girls, Boys Brigade, MOPS, Moms In Touch
etc.). Give the video as a Christmas or Easter gift to your Bible
study leaders.

of Jesus for Children" video as a special prize for activities/games.
These might include excellent attendance, Bible memorization, bringing
the most friends, or showing the video to friends.
Movie
Night: Plan a special evangelistic movie night using "The
Story of Jesus for Children." Invite children to bring friends
and family and provide popcorn, juice, or other treats. At the end,
distribute "The Greatest
Promise" booklets to all the children. Activities
and materials are available to help you with this event.

available through your church library and/or bookstore.
Parents
Gifts: Wrap and present "The
Story of Jesus for Children" as part of a birthday or Christmas
gift for a child, Bible study leader, school teacher, family and

Story of Jesus for Children" an annual Christmas and/or Easter
tradition for your family.

to reach other children in your extended family (i.e. nieces, nephews,
grandchildren) show "The Story of Jesus for Children"

could reach your whole family this way! If the children like the
video, offer to give them copies to watch in their homes.

Story of Jesus for Children" to reach children in your neighborhood.
Invite your child's friends to a "party." Make it a fun
