Tuesday's Hero: John Newton

The story of John Newton is very inspirational.

God used this man
as a pastor and to write 300 hymns. He was a real hero.

I hope you enjoy reading the story of John Newton for kids.

You can also take a 6 question Quiz

Here are some questions for you to answer.

  • John Newton spent much of his childhood free to do as he pleased. He later spent some of his adult years in a form of slavery. Which of these experiences do you think caused him to become the most hardened?
  • How is John Newton's story similar to the Biblical account of Jonah? How did their near-death experience affect each of them?
  • Are you surprised that even though John Newton had been captured and made a slave of a Navy ship, he still participated in the cruel slave trade? Why do you think it took so many years for him to change his mind about slavery?
  • Can you write your own new verse to "Amazing Grace"? What personal experiences would you reference in your verse?

Tuesday's Hero: Adoniram Judson

The story of Adoniram Judson is very inspirational.

God used this man
as the first Christian missionary from the United States. He went to Burma. He was a real hero.

I hope you enjoy reading the story of Adoniram Judson for kids.

You can also take a 6 question Quiz

Here are some questions for you to answer.

  • Judson told people about Jesus all the time, but it took six years until the first person accepted Jesus. Have you ever prayed for someone for years before you saw an answer? How did you feel?
  • Do you know anyone who believes in God, but doesn't believe that God cares about them? How can you help them to understand that God does care?
  • Considering all the difficulties the Judson's faced in Burma, would you say that God blessed their lives? How about when you consider that 7,000 believers were baptized into the family of God as a result of their work?
  • II Corinthians 4:18 says, "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." How does this verse relate to the story of Adoniram Judson?
  • How old do you think a child must be in order to understand the Gospel and become a Christian?

Ministry Monday - 4th of July Treat Bags


These July 4th Kid's Tracts are out of stock right now, but you can think about this idea for next year.

It is fun to give out treat bags to kids. And it is really simple to do.

  • Put one tract into a small zipper sandwich bag.
  • Add some candy - like taffy (sold in bags at Wal-mart).
  • You can include your church's business card, too.
  • Then pass them out to kids on the 4th of July.
