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!

Hi. Were you able to translate the Wordless Book tract into French? We have a nine year old who is going to Cameroon Africa which is French speaking. She has asked us for 100 tracts to take with her to expleain the Wordless Book in French.

I thought if we could just get one and print it out, she could explain it. If you have translated it would it be possible to send a copy via internet. She is leaving Wednesday.

We also work with a large Haitiaan population and would be most happy to pass it out to the youth here.

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

I love what you did here with the balloons. I have used the Wordless Book in Sunday School Class crafts before and love it. I am going to suggest we do it this way in our VBS this year. Thanks so much for the great idea!!! God bless your ministry!!

That’s exactly right. In Isaiah chapter 6, Isaiah saw who God was in His holiness and splendor. He immediately realized his sinfulness and exclaimed, “Woe is me. For I am a man of unclean lips…..”. The same thing happened with Peter in Luke 5, when he began to understand who Jesus was. He told Him to depart from him because he was a sinful man. I always try to come to a clearer understanding of who God is and what He is like. That is how people are going to be helped in understanding the Gospel better.

Also, I’ve written a tract that is based on the colors. It goes into more detail and explains a little more foundational truth about God. We use that, too.

I’ve started using a much more complete concept of God’s character and attributes when explaining the gold color also. We assume too much that people understand even our “historical” God when we witness. I believe in using a more chronological approach and not just assuming so much. Today’s people don’t all have even a literary familiarity with the Bible stories. How can they recognize what sin actually is without understanding God’s perception of it?

I used the wordless colors to tell the Gospel story 30+ years ago. I had a little plastic walnut that had a ribbon you pulled out with the different colors of the wordless story. I am in the process of making a wordless color blanket, and have thought of making bracelets with beads that are colored with the wordless story colors. It was fun to use the colors, but I think I would add the concept of who God is when explaining the color gold. There are a lot of descriptions of what God is like and they would tie in with that color as well as the streets of gold.
