Draw and Share: For Kids … and Adults too!

Draw and Share: For Kids … and Adults too!Create a drawing for Romans 6:23 … "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."  When your drawing is complete, share it with others.  This makes a great T-shirt design, hand drawn with a powerful message to tell.  Or simply draw it on a napkin or place mat as you share Jesus with a friend.

Email a digital photo of your drawing to mardis@eeinternational.org and we will post some of them on our website.

 
Looking Back and Ahead
By Marcia Ardis, Kids' EE Director for North America

One year ago (August 2004), I wrote the following in response to God's calling on my life as Director of Kids' Evangelism Explosion for North America:

"My wildest dream for Kids' EE in North America is that in every neighborhood there would be someone (adult, youth or child) equipped to share the Gospel with neighborhood children. Perhaps they would have a "For Sale" type sign in front of their home that says "Eternal Real Estate Available: Inquire Within" -- and frequent "Open Houses" for the neighborhood children … times to gather them together, share the Gospel and equip them to share Jesus with others."

Now, one year later, blessings continue to rain on us as I experience our growing Kids' EE team worldwide. If God is calling you to be a part of Kids' EE Great Commission training, call me.

YES, we believe that...

  • Our Lord expects Christians across America to reach the 40 million children in North America who have not heard the message of salvation through Christ Jesus! (Matthew 28:19-20)
  • Children need to hear the Gospel BEFORE they become teens. ("My Word … shall not return to Me void." Isaiah 55:11)
  • There is a "4-14 window of opportunity" (the age span during which most Christians receive Christ as Savior).
  • Christians need training to know how to share the Gospel with children.
  • We need to equip children to share the Gospel.
  • We can RECLAIM AMERICA FOR CHRIST by being actively involved in the Great Commission.

"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Romans 10:14, 15 NKJV)

Kids' EE equips adults, teens and children
to be these "beautiful feet" bringing this Gospel of peace
 
We Need Your Support: Prayers and Offerings
  • Pray for the development of 2-day Kids' EE Family Workshops that will equip Christians (young and old) to share the Gospel.
  • Pray for Ministry Partners to provide support for us (Colby and Marcia) as we prayerfully consider being on-the-road throughout North America for 6 months (traveling and training) in 2006.
  • Pray for our Materials Committee as we prepare materials that will allow churches/ministries to expand the Gospel.
    • Creation of a Kids' EE VBS-type program using the main Kids' EE units (Heaven, Man, God, Christ, Faith and Commitment). Pray that churches throughout North America will use this in VBS, neighborhood Bible clubs and community ministries.
    • Revisions to our Teacher's Manual
    • New Instructional Video so churches can easily equip their families to share the Gospel
