Prayer for Mothers

KP Admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:44:14 +0000

A mother’s job is hard, especially if she works outside of the home in addition to raising her kids. When you add church responsibilities and the needs of her friends and community to that you have a woman will little time left over for her self. Yet, often, she seems to manage. It’s all in a day’s work.

The demands on a mother are hard and if she’s not careful she can become so busy taking care of others that her own needs are neglected, both physically and spiritually.

This week in class talk about the responsibilities of a mother, how each child can help around the home, God’s command to obey her, and what things you can pray over her. Discussed how people are impacted who have lost their mother – their emotions and loss of a parental guide.

Use the documents below for activity/prayer time as well as to send home with the parent for reinforcement at home.

Missions Project

by Donna Rankin Dalton

A girl in our Kids Prayer Club has started her own missions project using the M&M prayer theme. She is raising money for missionaries by making yarn dolls in the M&M colors and giving each one a beaded necklace in all the colors to encourage praying for the different groups. You can read more about it on her mom’s blog at:

This young lady is such a blessing in our prayer group!

Praying for the Elderly

KP Admin — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:21:15 +0000

Senior citizens often face many problems that younger generations are oblivious to. They have debilitating diseases, health issues, substantial medical bills, vision loss, memory loss, hearing loss, degraded ability to move around, and so on. In addition, they face fear of loneliness, loss of purpose and death. The effect of just these issues alone is far reaching and affect not just them but their families as well.

The Bible tells us to honor our elders and to seek wisdom from them. We are to care for them and pray for them consistently. This needs to be a core area of prayer in your life and in your kids prayer ministry.

Use the attached handout/take-home paper with your kids as to train in this area.

The Need to Read

KP Admin — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:36:48 +0000

The Bible gives us God’s will, His direction and the plan of salvation. If you want to help your children understand the need to read the Bible you can use any of the following ideas (teaching points are in parenthesis):

have a treasure chest hunt:

do not give them a map (no knowledge of God / remote areas w/o the gospel)
give them a blank map (unreligious)
give them a map that is incorrect (false doctrine)
give them a map in another language (understanding)

have them bake something

do not give them the list of ingredients (direction)
give a wrong list of ingredients (false doctrine)
give them a list of ingredients in another language (understanding)

have them find something in the dark (“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet…”)

Each of the example methods above can help the children understand their need to hear, understand, and practice God’s Word. If reading the KJV Bible is hard for them, then suggest to them to possibly read a version for kids or teens.

There’s many other ideas you can use. The point is… get them reading.

Worship Series: What God Needs Most

KP Admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:00:38 +0000

The foundation of prayer is a RELATIONSHIP with God. Prayer is not just lists of things we pray about, or something we do to be powerful Christians. We can get a thousand prayers answered and we can become powerful leaders but if we don’t really KNOW God in a personal way, then prayer is nothing more than things about US and what we can get done. Jesus wants to KNOW us—that person that’s deep down inside. He wants us to talk to Him like we talk to our BFFs. He wants to be our soul mate.

When we go to bad times, the only thing that will keep us is our RELATIONSHIP. It won’t matter if we won a thousand souls or laid hands on people and they were healed. What matters is that we know who to go to that will ALWAYS be there for us.

Use the following lesson with your children to discuss the way we understand love and how to love God the way He desires.

Worship & Praise Wall

KP Admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 02:24:25 +0000

Since worship and praise are essential in prayer we want to make it a regular part of our time training children to pray.Children by nature are egocentric and may need a little help in this area since it doesn’t focus on their needs. Here’s a great and fun way for children to integrate worship during your prayer meetings:

1. Teach your children about worship in general – what is it, how is it different than praise, why do we do it, etc.

2. Create a wall in your room that can be written on. This may be a wall that’s covered in butcher paper, construction paper, or you may use a blackboard or caulk board squares.

3. At the start of your kid prayer meeting room (as soon as the kids enter) or at the start of your prayer time at home, have them write a praise or worship word or phrase on the wall.

This gets them used to putting God first, and gets them thinking about how great He is and how they can express that in their own words. Occasionally take a picture of your wall for a keepsake or to share.

Worship with Songs and Praise Journals

KP Admin — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:51:21 +0000

We can trust God no matter what happens, when or how. God is always looking out for our good. God is love. God is pure. God is holy. God is good.

It’s important for us to train our children that prayer is not just a list of things that we want God to do; it’s a time of communicating to our best friend and telling Him how much we love Him.

Use the attached lesson to teach your children to worship using songs and praise journals.

Support Missionary Kids

KP Admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 03:33:23 +0000

MK’s (Missionary Kids) are just like the kids we meet with every week except they live in another country. MK’s like to have fun and just like many kids that are in our care they want to be used by God.

Some MK’s live in an area where there are not other children that can go to church with them. Some live in countries where it is dangerous to admit that you are a Christian. Some were born in the country they are living in and others were not, but every MK I have met calls that place home. Many times when MK’s are back in the States they feel homesick and as if they don’t belong. Kids are just like adults—it helps and is encouraging to know that people pray for you and want to be your friend. That is the concept behind MK Prayer Pals. A prayer pal would receive prayer requests from a MK and agree to pray with and for the MK. They would also attempt to build and maintain a friendship by email. If you would like your kids prayer group, Sunday school -class or children’s ministry to be involved and become a prayer pal with a MK please contact us and let us know who you wish to sponsor. We will get your information to MK Ministries and you will then be partnered with a MK.

Become a missionary prayer pal by writing and praying for one or more of these missionary kids. (Photos are below)
