thanks for everyone who placed a vote for me, it’s an honor to be included in this list it’s also an honor to have 2 of my infuse folks in the final 4. Makes it hard on a coach to only get to vote for one of his players. Congrates to Rob my dear friend for a great comeback victory.
Remember Good Friday is going to be a good Friday!
It was a wild finish in that division. There were several lead changes over the weekend. Good fun.
Thanks Jim
you continue to inspire me to lift to new levels and never give up. Lovin the book
Hey– thanks for including Orange Leaders in the fun! I’ve enjoyed checking out some new websites as well as ones I frequent regularly. So glad to see all the passion around children’s ministry and engaging families. Hard to choose between these final four, so I won’t be making any predictions

I just updated the post to have this round close a few days earlier.
SAM LUCE, a husband, father, Pastor, brother, and friend. No matter where you find him – he remains steadfast in his faith and in the life he lives, at Church, at home, or on His knees. He is consistent and devoted to both the Children of His Church as well as the Children of His home. He LOVES his wife in a way that is unheard of in toady’s society. So yes, my vote is for Sam Luce– not only because of his great blog, but also, due to the fact that the passion he has for the Lord is lived out in his everyday life. For the person Sam Luce is, challenges me to live life with a renewed perspective…to be the best spouse, parent, Pastor, and friend i am called to be!
What a great set of blogs and resources for kids ministry! Definitely all worth checking out! I found a great article by Rob Bradbury on http://www.childrensminisitry1234.com about how to raise children up in your kids ministry- there’s some amazing stuff on that blog- I think it will be taking my vote for sure! Definitely check them all out because you may be
surprised by what you find on the blogs
you may never have heard of. CM1234 was incredibly impressive and I’m glad that this voting now
gives me a chance to discover
and promote such a great resource for kidmin leaders all around the world!
Keep up the voting!!
Thanks 4 the support Jess!
Kenny is an awesome dude. He used to be my paster for Graceland Baptist Church and he was awesome! My favorite time was when he did the Camp Sensation, I had a blast! And I also met amazing christian friends! Good luck Kenny you go rock their world! Love ~ Allyson.
Vote for Kenny!
What a fun ride. Third place ain’t that bad. Congrats to Rob for taking the title. Maybe next year I’ll beat both you and Sam. Sam, I’m glad we’re not nemesis (or is it nemesi?) anymore.
You are a champion Kenny, who knew that day at the Hamburger place in Atlanta we would be in the final 4? woo hoo God has great things in store for us my friend.
Lets do it all again next year.
A massive thanks to everyone who voted for us, you guys rock!
It’s a real honor to be in the same category as Amy and Kenny and Sam, they are all children’s ministry legends as are all the other CM bloggers who entered.
Thanks also to Tony for running the comp, it was heaps of fun chasing up all my aunties and getting them and their dogs to vote. We will give the book ‘spondoolas’ away to a new kids pastor in the states to help them on their way.
Now… it’s time to party like its 1999
thank you, tony for this competition! it was a lot of fun – and great to connect with so many of the other bloggers!
