It’s been a few years, but I still remember the first time I read this encouraging poem about children’s ministry. It came in an email to me from a friend. It really spoke to me about the struggles and joys of being a kids pastor.

Later I learned that poem was written by Roger Fields of Kidz Blitz ministries. It’s been available on their website for some time, but he recently uploaded a print-friendly version of the poem.

This is an excellent way to encourage volunteers and leaders in your ministry. All of us who serve God’s Children share this same experience. I’d love to hear how you use this resource in your ministry. Click here to leave a comment.

Thank you so much for what you have done for me! I’ve searched for a year trying to find free lessons for the children in my church. We don’t have a lot of money to spend on supplies (we are a small church) and I just finished a year as youth director. I did the best I could, but failed miserably. Today is January 1, 2012, and I went to the computer, typed in children’s church lesson plans, and lo and behold…I got your lessons! I am so excited! We’ll start next week with the lessons about creation! May God bless you for your saving me this year!

You are always an inspiration. May God continually renew your strength. You and yours are blessed and highly favoured. Our loving Father has your wife close to His tender heart, He will see her (and you) through it all. He is trustworthy. God bless you

This is wonderful, thank you. I am a Sunday School Superintendent, my 2nd year and how inspiring this poem is to me. I will give a copy to my teachers as I know it will inspire them also.

This poem speaks to my passion, I stay awake at nights trying to think how best I can get the children to become excited about God. How to show reverence and respect for their creator. This poem is really great. It shows courage and determination to reach our children. Lets continue to work and pray. I will be sharing this poem on my thank you to the VBS Workers. Thanks. May God bless your family with good health and long life.

What a great encouragement! I am challenged not to give up on children because God never gave up on me.

Thanks Tony, I thought of making copies and give each of the kids’ teachers a copy. It will surely encourage them.
