Everyone needs to hear the Gospel, even kids. But it's sometimes hard to get them to pay attention when you're trying to talk Bible.
Here are some great ways to teach them about the Gospel and make it fun:
Instead of teaching, just put on a video: Kids these days love screens.
Take all their toys away and tell them it's because of sin: If they give their heart to Jesus, you'll give them back.
Hide in the bushes outside their houses and jump out when they come out the door and yell, "JESUS!": You'll scare them straight.
Try comparing the Gospel to Super Mario Bros.: "Mamma Mia! You-a need-a the salvation!"
Make prophet-based Pokémon: "Ezekiel-chu, I choose you!"
Get the Apostle Paul added to Fortnite: Winning a Battle Royale with the apostle to the Gentiles will change some minds, for sure.
Familiarize yourself with the Bible so you can answer their questions: Even if their questions are really, really heretical.
Park your windowless van with "FREE SALVATION" painted on it outside of schools: You'll be guaranteed to draw plenty of attention.
Just preach the Gospel, but add "and this also applies to kids" at the end of every sentence: It does, after all.
NOT SATIRE: Success. Handouts were distributed. Photos were taken. Numbers made it into the report.
Mission accomplished.
Except for one slightly inconvenient question: What happens next week?
At Tomorrow Clubs, we believe the Gospel was never meant to be a one-time encounter. Jesus didn't hand His disciples a brochure, take a group photo, and move on. He stayed. He taught them, prayed with them, loved them, corrected them, and showed them how to live.
Apparently, real discipleship takes time.
For more than 30 years, Tomorrow Clubs has partnered with churches around the world, equipping local Christian leaders to disciple children in their own communities, week after week.
Zhenia Shuvalov is one example. He grew up in a struggling community in Ukraine and first encountered Jesus through a Tomorrow Club as a child. That relationship changed the direction of his life. Today, he follows Christ and invests in the next generation himself.
That's the multiplication we're after. Not simply a message heard once, but truth that is heard, accepted, rooted and lived. And you can help make that kind of discipleship possible. It takes just $1 a month to help provide ongoing discipleship for one child. Your monthly support helps local Christian leaders keep showing up, week after week, teaching God's Word, building relationships and helping children grow as followers of Jesus.
