11. Reaching the Heart of a Child Through Games
Speaker: Becky Fischer
Birds fly. Fish swim. Kids play. They just love to have fun because that’s the way God made them. The first time anyone suggested to Becky that she play games in her children’s ministry, she was highly offended. She took her Bible teaching with children very seriously. But when she learned that engaging in a few minutes of play at the beginning of a service opened up the heart of a child to be more receptive to the teaching of the Word, she began to look at it differently.

This teaching gives a quick look at the spirituality of playing games in a service, then spends time describing and demonstrating the fun wild, and wacky games that bring a dynamic dimension to a service which ultimately ends up with the presence of the Holy Spirit filling the room.
