These are terrific new resources for NextGen (Kids & Student) Ministry from @Lifeway. The Gospel Project for Kids team was able to contribute to "The Explorer Bible Dictionary for Kids" and help wordsmith kid-friendly definitions for key biblical terms.

I can’t put into words how much it blesses me to watch my teenagers—who grew up going to VBS—now joyfully serving kids in VBS and leading them in worship.

It was such a joy to hear the words “Jesus” and “gospel” woven throughout our One Lifeway gathering the last two days. I’m grateful to serve alongside brothers and sisters who consistently encourage each other to keep our eyes fixed on Christ as we serve His bride, the church.
Anyone going to the Children’s Pastors Conference this week? Look for a familiar preschool face (Maegan Bruce) emceeing the conference and come say hi to our team at Lifeway’s Gospel Project for Kids booth in the exhibit hall!
Americans' "meh" views on the seriousness of sin per
@LifewayResearch reveal the church has a lot of work to do in setting the theological stage for the light of the gospel.
"If there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things." - Philippians 4:8 — I love how skillfully @Lifeway's designers and art directors adorn books to help readers dwell on the praiseworthiness of Christ. https://t.co/pyD6GR6U7A
I'm really excited about this new resource that highlights the interconnectivity of the Old and New Testaments and how they tell one big story about God's plan to save His people through Jesus. https://t.co/SWZLEQd1Dh

When teaching kids the gospel this VBS season, rather than starting with the "ABCs of salvation," you might consider ending with them. https://t.co/JinFs3vGqy
Nothing gets me more excited about churches using The Gospel Project for Kids than reading the questions kids send in for us to answer in our weekly "Questions from Kids" segment. Here's a sneak peek at some of kids' actual questions we'll be answering in upcoming videos!

I'm so grateful for the many kids ministry leaders who have poured into our twins in the past and for the youth leaders who are currently coming alongside us to help disciple our teens. I can't imagine attempting to parent without the support of the local church. It's a blessing!
