Children’s Extravaganza- WMU (co-ed)
Mar 8 @ 10:00 am – 3:30 pm
Children’s Extravaganza Join us for this unique missions event for boys and girls in grades 1-6! Enjoy a day full of activities that reflect strength in everyday life. Children will meet missionaries and learn from their stories of strength, embrace their creative strengths through crafts, and build each other up through team activities (after all, teams are stronger than individuals). Children will also watch Strong Man Cameron Bailey demonstrate his physical strength abilities and engage in prayer experiences that will make their relationship with Jesus stronger. Make sure your children can take part of this missions focused experience!
Theme: BE STRONG “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9)
Registration Fee $15 per participant, includes lunch. Online registration is available below.
Special Guest
Meet Strong Man Cameron Bailey from Fayetteville, GA. He can rip decks of cards, telephone books and even take a frying pan and roll it up like a piece of paper! But even though he is strong, Bailey understands the source of true strength.
Schedule will be available soon.
Location Camp Kaleo 463 Old Zebulon Road Forsyth, GA 31029 (706) 782-3231

I’ve got a free D6 Conference Ticket in Louisville for October 17-18. Want to go???
This is a $319 ticket and I’m giving it away!
What will you benefit from D6? If you believe in family ministry then the D6 Conference is one that you will not want to miss. Children’s ministry, youth ministry, and all areas of family ministry will be covered. A conference based around Deuteronomy chapter 6 that helps ministries encourage and equip parents to be spiritual leaders in their home.
You will hear from great speakers such as James Dobson, Les & Leslie Parrott, Ed Stetzer, Josh Griffin, Russell Moore, Rob Rienow, and Tommy Sanders.
I will be there connecting with other leaders in family ministry. And I want to connect with you too!
Let me know why you’d like to be at D6 in the comments below. A winner will be chosen and notified by Friday of this week.

There is a new FREE web resource that will allow you to convert any format to any format. This a going to be a great ministry tech tool.
We use the Gospel Project for Kids on Sunday mornings. And we L-O-V-E it. One problem. We project our kids worship service using Proclaim, which is another great program. The issue we have is that Proclaim does not project pdf files, and the Gospel Project for Kids does not send jpg image files (only pdf). While I have been told from the Gospel Project editorial leadership that they will soon begin sending jpg images, it doesn’t help me a lot right now.
I have been using Zamzar to convert my files, but I have to go to email to get them and there is also a file limitation. A little more hassle than I want.
In comes CloudConvert. It converts over 140 different formats. Document, audio, video, presentation, ebook, and image format are completely covered. It is quick. It is easy. It is FREE.
You can download straight from the page, have a link sent to you, or even have the converted document sent directly to your Dropbox. Lots of helpful options!
Add CloudConvert to your list of free go-to tech resources for your ministry.

Summer hiatus? Yes. Other life situations? Yes.
As you know summer picks up dramatically for most of us in children’s ministry. Camp, VBS, weekly events, and family time all crammed into two short little months.
Add my wife getting pneumonia, an unexpected surgery (that I found out I was going to need while I was at kids camp), and the death of a family member. I’m back in the game now.
Some things to look forward to in upcoming blogs:
-special needs resources
-introduction of a new Georgia Baptist state children’s ministry leader
-fall kid’s ministry conferences
-new resources
Stay tuned to the Children’s Ministry Network, and help us keep the kidmin conversations alive!
