The Gospel In Colors – The Wordless Book

by Tony Kummer | Children & Salvation | Print Print |

One of the best ways to share the Gospel with kids is the wordless book. It’s a series of colors that can be used to explain the Gospel.

I was surprised to learn that many believe that Charles Spurgeon originated the wordless book idea. Later is was used by several early Evangelical Missionaries. You can find a good summary of it on Kidology and read about it’s history on Wikipedia.

Do You Use The Wordless Book?

I was taught to use the wordless book when painting faces and find it is an amazing application. The children waiting in line also hear the message and often by the time I get to paint the little face they can tell me the meaning of each colour. I love painting faces that way!

I am using 2 liter bottles of pop in these colors to intrigue a little older crowd. Share the “book” and then review by asking what the yellow/gold pop reminds us of, etc….. they are given the pop !

This past Easter we used colored sand to make a Salvation Prayer Jar.I based it on the salvation bracelets that you can make with the beads. I put the sand in snack bags and let the children cut the tip out and pour the sand in the jar. I printed off the message of what each color meant and then we tied that around the lid of the jar. They had a blast making the Salvation Prayer Jar
