Can you believe that something like BeyBlades can help you pray for people and the world?

   Check out how one missionary kid from Botswana is making a
huge difference in kids
prayer all over the world!

   Alex, a missionary kid in the country of Botswana, loves to play with his BeyBlades. They have become some of his best prayer tools. In Africa, most all the boys and some of the girls love playing with tops and can turn anything into a spinning "BeyBlade." One of his teachers help him come up with a way to turn his play toy into a prayer tool.
   What an incredible idea! Turn your favorite play toy into a prayer tool!
   How can it be used?
   In a Shekinah Kids class, kids tried using the BeyBlades for the first time and loved it! The portable

arena (top) is nice because you can take it with you from place to place and it's small. If you don't need a portable set, you can purchase (less expensive) a stationary plastic arena. Write prayer requests out from the middle (picture coming soon) and whichever way the top is pointing when it stops is what you pray for. About two or three kids can go at a time if you're in a group.
   It was so much fun that Shekinah Kids are going to lead a larger children's church group in prayer using two sets - we'll add pictures here next Thursday.

Pointed caps from bottles make great spinners that can be used as prayer tools!
