Guidelines for Showing the Video
The video is designed to show children of all ages the true story of Jesus as adapted from the Gospel of Luke. The video may be used by children, teachers, parents, grandparents, leaders and coaches. The Story of Jesus for Children shows, tells and brings children to see and understand the promises of God through His Son Jesus. This can happen in your home, Sunday School, Character Club, after school clubs, children's parties or discussion groups. The place is limited only by your initiative. At the end of the video, children are given an opportunity to invite Jesus into their lives.

Children 7 years or older may enjoy watching the complete video in one sitting.

Children under 7 years-or in situations where there is a 30-minute time limit-may view the video in three parts.
