Join me and Bro. Zach Leal, Kids Church Director at the Apostolic Lighthouse Church of Neosho Missouri, as we dive into the importance and benefit of exposing yourself to a fellowship of kids ministers and allowing yourself to be influenced through various methods and approaches to Kid's Ministry in your church.

Today we explore my process I use considering prayer for Kids Ministry: 1. Praying FOR your kids 2. Praying WITH your kids 3. Praying OVER your kids We should be comfortable praying out loud in front of people if we plan on teaching kids how to pray. They are going to learn by watching and hearing YOU and ME pray out loud in front of them so they can have a template to understand HOW to connect to God in prayer. We'll learn about being careful not to "pop the clutch" when praying with kids, and how to effectively lead kids to grow in their knowledge and experiences in developing their prayer life.

In this episode you'll hear from my very first interviewee Bro. Philip Booker on "Seven Keys to an Effective Object Lesson."  Bro. Booker is the Sunday School Superintendent at the Inland Lighthouse Church in Rialto, CA, a dynamic children's evangelist, founder of apostolicsundayschool.com, an out-and-out soul winner and my personal friend. I've labeled him as the King of Object Lessons and that is probably still an understatement. I hope your inspired, educated and challenged by this episode! This being my first interview, I went over my time-limit I've set for this podcast, but that will change as I get better at giving interviews. Thank you for listening! Would so appreciate your rating and sharing with other Children's/Sunday School ministers. Episode Highlights: "I'd rather have to reign in a noble steed than to prod a stubborn mule." "Don't let the activity steal the show. Remember you have a lesson to teach." "Adapt the lesson to your own style, your own audience and your own surroundings." "Prepare for the unexpected because stuff is going to happen. Just be ready to roll with the stuff." Never tell the kids how an object lesson is done.
