What is YOUR Best Investment? Jesus says, "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10). Consider the lives of children and families…

Workshops are HERE! Hosting a 1 or 2-day Kids' EE workshop at your church is fun and "DO-able." Kids' EE workshops equip participants to teach and share the major EE units of Heaven, Man, God, Christ, Faith and Commitment. Participants receive a Kids' EE handbook that can be used to begin Kids' EE during Sunday School, VBS, after-school programs, in your neighborhood … anywhere and anytime. FUN and INTERACTIVE, workshops are for adult leaders and teachers, parents, grandparents, and families (Yes, we encourage parent/child teams to attend). Workshop activities include "The Basics of Kids' EE" -- demonstrations, skits, scriptures, cadences, songs, crafts and a scavenger hunt. Kids need to develop a language for their faith; and through Kids' EE this happens! Our goal is to equip adults to teach kids how to KNOW and SHARE JESUS. To receive a Kids' EE Workshop Packet, contact Dena Boswell at dboswell@eeinternational.org. Christmas
