Praise: Made to Worship | Kids in Ministry International

By Author Stacy Thomas

Praise: Made to Worship is a 7-week Kid’s Church Curriculum that helps kids discover that praise and worship are much more than singing a song.

I’ve been a worship leader for close to 20 years. In that time, I found that praise and worship are powerful weapons of our warfare. In Praise: Made to Worship, kids will discover that they were made to worship the Lord. Why? Because He is Worthy! But God does not stop there. The Word of God exposes the power of worshipping the Lord. The power to defeat the enemy by lifting high the victor! Bring the excitement of praise and worship back into your children’s ministry.

Included in each lesson are the five essentials that are in all the Five Essentials Curriculum Series: Purpose, Prayer, Praise, Prophecy, and Power. This Spirit-filled curriculum helps kids encounter God through prayer, praise, prophecy, and power activities and games.
HIGHLY INTERACTIVE LESSONS!

Object lessons, Bible Lessons, Altar Calls, Fun Prayer Stations/activities, Praise and worship activities, Learning to Hear God’s Voice games, and ministry times where kids use their spiritual gifts, Games/activities equipping them to walk in the authority that God’s given them, Ministry and outreach suggestions, Memory Verse game suggestions, and short family table devotions to help families engage in the Word and in prayer together throughout the week.

About the Author: Stacy Thomas

Kids Arise Ministries was birthed out of the heart of a wife, mom, worship leader, and Children’s Ministry Director. Over twenty years of working in ministry to children, God placed a burning desire on her heart to see our children experience His presence in greater ways.

It’s not enough to teach children about God; We want them to know God, to experience God, to have intimacy with Him. Stacy spent many nights crying out to God and asking Him how to take the children, who stare with blank faces, to a deeper understanding of the glorious, exciting, good, and all-loving God.

Over the years, Stacy grew tired of the curriculum that they used. It seemed all too familiar, too surface, and too watered down. If the teachers were bored with it, then no wonder the kids were. Stacey asked God for something new, something real, something deeper.

Stacy writes, “In small increments, He began to give me new things to try with the kids. And to my surprise—it worked!! The children came alive with excitement about attending church, spending time with God, experiencing Him, and ministering to others. It required a lot of time pouring into Him, listening to His Spirit, and writing curriculum, but it was time well spent. I have seen the way the Holy Spirit has used this children’s ministry curriculum to shape children’s lives. I’ve seen children experience hearing God’s voice, leaning on Him, interceding for others with the heart of the Father, kids praying for others to be healed, healing occurring, a deeper understanding of the scriptures, and children just being the church. It is exciting to watch what God is doing in this generation, and I’m blessed to be a part of it.”
