Video Review From Cullen’s ABCs

Our friend Cullen, who has a great website with children’s activities videos, recorded this review of our site.

Who Started This Website?

My name is Tony Kummer.  I’m a husband, daddy and children’s pastor from Indiana. I started this blog in 2007 to share what I was learning in my own ministry.

I’ve been amazed by the results. Every day, thousands of readers come to Ministry-To-Children.com for practical help and encouragement.

I have a B.A. in Biblical Studies and M.A in Christian Education from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Since 2005, I have served as the full-time children’s pastor in a small Southern Baptist church. Between my ministry and writing this blog, I have continued to research every aspect of Children’s Ministry.

As this website has grown. I’ve moved from solo writer to general editor and administrator. Thanks to our generous sponsors, I’ve been able to add new contributors. These writers help expand the resources we offer to our readers.

Jeri Tanner, Contributing Writer

Jeri Tanner joined our team in May 2009. She is a wife, mom and member of Christ’s body in Trussville, AL. She and her husband David have seven children and seven grandchildren (so far!) (and likely still counting)! Jeri has served her church as T&T director in their AWANA program for the past two years, and has been thinking, praying, and writing about biblical issues related to family and children’s ministry for the past five. She is grateful that God is a God who redeems and restores, and has shown such great mercy and grace in her life and the life of her family.

Jeri believes God has given a mandate to His church: “He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments” (Psalm 78:5-7). For that reason she is passionate about reaching and teaching kids for God’s glory, and excited at the opportunity to serve with the Ministry to Children team. Go Team!
