They're ready to go. Zacharias is grateful not only for the funding and volunteer labour, but for the selfless giving of both children and adults. And he's quick to note that the project wasn't a one-way affair. Each child in the class composed a personal letter, and each child received a letter in return. From Soul Food Spinners to Coins for Camp Equipment, each project features a mini, hands-on activity designed to help children develop a sense of mission and connect with the stories of others.
Instructors can use all the activities, or pick and choose from the grouping.
KidsPak has been getting positive reviews from leaders who like its easy to use and understand format. Most churches introduce the projects to both children and adults in large group settings or at intergenerational gathering times. Printed versions will continue to be sent by mail, but those with an electronic inclination can now download these items via the internet. It contains projects and activities designed to connect children with church relevant issues of the day. Every conference church receives KidsPak once a year by mail.
