  1. May I use the object lessons or any of the lessons in a pre-recorded video of me teaching & share it on YouTube and Facebook?

  2. peace, I am in Brazil, am I allowed to translate and print and charge a fee for copies? I am currently unemployed. A symbolic value

  3. Thanks for a great resource. I’d like to clearly ask so I know I am permitted. I work in Thailand. Your lesson downloads are pdf but I want the html. I want to put notes in Thai to help Thais teach this. Wish my Thai was good enough to totally translate, but it is still not. I can easily type in thai in html by adding my mrmcgoo.css file (Im in my 60s -if you know who mr. mcgoo is you understand).
    I have been developing for over 20 years a free bible note system that is translates into any html supported language with search and replace (GUI uses html 5 css 3) I continually add permitted – free resources into this. I’d like to add what I use to teach from your website. The resource is free, I never ask for donations like you. Children’s resources are few here – but some folks are beginning to develop materials.
    Would that be acceptable to you?

  4. Thank you so much for your inspired lessons and resources to help our children grow in the Lord! I have used them often during the years in the classroom but I would love to offer them now as we try to reach our youth virtually. Offering them free is such a help for our small Christian ministry.
    Do I understand right that I can use your lessons and their resources in our Church’s Facebook live and on our internet site for a children’s class as long as I give Ministry-To-Children.com credit during the session? Thank you, Barbara Trogdon with Community Holiness Chapel, Lesage WV.

  8. I am currently writing 1st-2nd Grade Bible Study curriculum and will be working with a publisher to publish my curriculum for sale. I am interested in using the 5 Finger Prayer guide within one of the lessons of my curriculum and want to ensure that appropriate permission has been obtained. It is my intent to use my own artwork but would be using the same verbiage for each finger as you provide on your site. Can you advise as to the proper source for that guide and authorize its use for the purpose described above? Your response is greatly appreciated.

  9. Absolutely – you have our full permission, but I’m not sure anyone could copyright a prayer. God bless you in your efforts.

  14. I am a Primary School teacher is Wales and I have recently downloaded a copy of your Christmas Skits. This year due to Covid our school wants ‘the show to go on’, for the children to participate in their Christmas plays. However, as parents will not be able to come into school, we would like to video record their performances and send the clips to parents. Do your scripts have the license to enable us to do this?
    Many thanks
