A Ministry Revolution – Insight #3 – Preach Until There is a Breakthrough
God revealed His heart for boys and girls when He spoke through the prophet Joel and declared, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters will prophesy ..." All across our land, children's ministry leaders and workers are crying out for the fulfillment of this prophesy. They aren't satisfied with anything less than a Joel 2 Generation! Many are recognizing that today's ways of doing children's ministry aren't bringing about these results and are calling for a Children's Ministry Revolution, a revolution to bring about a change. Three weeks ago, I began a series of...
A Ministry Revolution – Insight #2 – Resourcing for the Breakthrough
When Vickie and I left our position of being children's pastors some 3 1/2 years ago to travel full time and conduct our Ignite & Unite Conferences and Holy Spirit Rallies, a part of God's directive was for us to be a part of ushering in a move of God's Spirit in children and children's ministry.

Two weeks ago, I began a series of blog posts addressing how to bring about the needed changes. This week, we want...

If there is to be an outpouring of God's Spirit in our children and children's ministry, there has to be a change, or, to be bolder, a revolution in the way that we are doing things. I promised last week to begin a series of blog posts sharing insights for launching this revolution. Here is insight #1.If the truth be known, much of today's children ministry consists of leaders going online, finding...
A Ministry Revolution – The Introduction
My how children's ministry has changed during our 38 years of being involved in this ministry. For most children's ministries, long gone are the days of not having an abundance of curriculums, using embarrassing props and visuals, suffering with "backwoodsy" (I know that this isn't a word but you get the idea) music, apologizing for antiquated room ambiance, struggling with poorly trained volunteers and staff, and ... I could go on and on. It's a totally different world today for children's ministry. And yet, with all of these tremendous advances and improvements, I find many children's...
