Dinner Blessing

Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.

"Johnny, wait until we say our prayer," his mother reminded him.

"I don't have to," the little boy replied.

"Of course you do," his mother insisted, "we say a prayer before eating at our house."

"That's at our house," Johnny explained, "but this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook!"

TLDS Camp - Some Kids Feedback

Which one do you agree with?

Who Is Jesus?

Jesus is God's only Son
He came from Heaven to earth to be born as a baby so that he could live like us. He came to teach people about God, His Father.

Because Jesus is the Son of God, He was different from everyone. He was never unkind, He never did anything wrong. He never told a lie. He never took anything that wasn't His.

Have you done wrong things? I'm sure the answer will is "Yes" because we all do things that are wrong. We call doing bad things - sin and sin separates us and God.

The only way for us to remove our sins is that a perfect person must take the punishment for our sins.

Because Jesus died on the cross and took all the punishment for every person in the world, we can now have friendship with God, just as if we had never done anything wrong!

This is a wonderful gift Jesus offers to you - friendship with God.

Will you say "Yes"?

If you want to accept Jesus' gift for you, simply talk to God by saying the following prayer.

"Dear God, I am sorry for all the bad things that I have said or done. Thank you for your Son, Jesus who loves me so much that He took the punishment for the wrong things that I have done. Thank you that He died for me, so that I could be clean again. Amen".

If you said this prayer, write to us and we help you learn more about Jesus.

Are You Eating Well?

A Quiet Time (QT) or sometimes we called it devotional time is a time of quietness and devotion you spend with God. It usually begins in a private place by asking God to make Himself known to you as a Friend and Father.

During QT you read the Bible slowly and think about what you have read and then ask God to show Himself to you through the Bible. And finally you pray over the verses you have read asking yourself how it can change you to be a better Christian.

It is good to do QT every morning when you wake up as this will help you through the day. Find a quiet corner and read your Bible. After reading, pray for yourself, friends and family. Sometimes you may want to read a Christian story book or listen to Christian music. Or you may just want to sing songs or write a letter to God.

Having a regular Quiet Time is like taking your food regularly and it will make you grow strong in God.

Do You Remember?

This thanksgiving video was released on 2004 Watchnight Service. It summarised KIDS.Church program for the year. One amazing project we did was the filming of Hei Bai Hui, What Would Jesus Do? Brings back lots of memories and fun. We did God Almighty too. It is KIDS.Church series of lessons on Worship.

Sit back and enjoy.

Visit Jana Alayra for more information.

Hello From Pulai Spring

Hi! Pulai Spring Resort is a nice place. We are here with twenty-four kids. We had three groups and they are Ravu, Taji and Tuka. The names brought back so much memory. The kids and their parents loved their songs very much. We are having a great time here. Thanks for your prayers.

!!!!!!!!

Please Pray For Us

Tomorrow, Jessica, Cheryl, Shelley, Amy, William, Ernest, Esther and Gilbert travel up north to Pulai Springs Resort Johor Bahru to work with Evangel Christian Church children. Pray along with us that ECC kids will have a fun time learning from the Bible - To have good habits, obedience to parents and authorities and they can shine for Jesus.

"Lord, help our teachers and leaders share the good news. And may the children have a good time learning about You. In Jesus' name. Amen"

KIDS.Talk - For The Latest Happenings

We Found You.

Here is the answer to Finding Me.

Janan got it right. You have super memory.

Look guys, we have all grown. Maybe in five years time, we have Amanda, Faith, Brilliant and Janan be the "kor kors and jie jies" doing KIDS.Camp. Hmmm, that will be in 2013.

My First Prayer

Here is one good way to start praying.

"Dear Lord, I thank you for loving me and listening to me when I pray to You. Help me to pray everyday. Teach me to listen to You when you speak to my heart. And thank you for guiding me everyday. In Jesus' name, Amen".

Here is one good way to start praying.

"Dear Lord, today I want to pray for Samantha Chiu that you will help her to be a good girl at home and she will do well for her PSLE this year. Lord, help her get into her choice of secondary school. In Jesus' name. Amen"

What is Prayer?

God wants to talk to kids and kids want to talk to God. Prayer is talking to God. God loves it when you talk to Him. You can talk to Him anytime of the day. You don't need a special reason. You can just talk to Him anywhere and anytime. Just like you will pick up the phone and call your friends when you want to chat.

1. Prayer is talking to God. You can talk or sing or even write it out on your dairy.

2. You can do it as often as you like. Every week, every day, every hour, every minute.

3. You can do it anywhere.

4. You can do it alone or with friends and family.

5. You may be sad, happy, angry or confused when you pray.

6. You tell God anything and everything.

7. You talk to Him like you talk to your friends.

8. You can ask God to help your friends, family and even yourself.

9. Don't forget to thank God for listening and helping you.

Back To School

In a few days time, school is back on 23 June, Monday. Go through your bags and make sure you have got all your assignments done. It is always good to get your homework done on time. Don't wait until the last moment and then get panicky.

The Bible tells us to "Work hard so God can approve you". This is St Paul teaching Timothy to study hard so that he can help others. 2 Timothy 2:15.

Finish them up and play hard.

Guess Who Visited KIDS.Church Today?

Welcome Shermaine Koh!. Did you enjoy KIDS.Church today? It is nice to see you and we hope you can join us every Sunday.

Happy Fathers Day

Fathers Are Wonderful People

Fathers are wonderful people
Ttoo little understood
And we do not sing their praisesas often as we should…

For, somehow, Father seems to be the man who pays the bills
While Mother binds up little hurts and nurses all the ills…
And Father struggles daily to live up to "His image"
As protector and provider and "hero of the scrimmage"…

And perhaps that is the reasonwe sometimes get the notion
That Fathers are not subject to the thing we call emotion,
But if you look inside Dad's heartwhere no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental and as "soft" as he can be…

But he's so busy every day in the grueling race of life
He leaves the sentimental stuff to his partner and his wife…

But Fathers are just WONDERFUL in a million different ways
And they merit loving compliments and accolades of praise
For the only reason Dad aspires to fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him and bring them happiness…

And like our Heavenly Father, he's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count onto be always on our side.

Bible Study

As a Bible student and teacher I have experienced the necessary work involved in searching the Scriptures for the competent preparation of a Bible study, Sunday school lesson, or a sermon. There are volumes of books available as study tools (and the Christian community is indebted to the various authors' perseverance and scholarship), but there is not enough time, money, or shelf space to properly take advantage of these resources. Computer software has changed the way we can study the Word of GOD. With a simple search or click of the mouse button, we now have access to these same volumes of scholarship within seconds!

eSword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible. e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly. And it is free.

Can You Find 16 Books Of The Bible In This Paragraph?

I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu, kept people looking so hard for facts, and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books are not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help find them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of the 16, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there really are the names of 16 books of the Bible in these sentences.

The Singapore Beng

Ah Beng with two red ears went to his doctor. The doctor asked him what happened to his ears and he answered, "I was ironing a shirt and the phone ring, lah. But instead of picking up the phone, I accidentally picked up the iron and placed it to my ear, lah". "Oh dear!" the doctor exclaimed in shock.

"And what happened to the other ear?" asked the doctor. Ah Beng answered "That stupid dumbo called back, lah"

Buy The Year Book

The children had all been photographed and the teacher was trying to persuade the class to buy a copy of the group picture. Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, "There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer" or "That's Michael, He's a doctor".

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

Long Long Time Ago

The Year is 2000. Jungle Jam Camp at Boys' Brigade Campsite in Sembawang.
Here are two jie-jie who were at The Little Dragon Slayer Camp. TLDS make a guess who are these two jie-jie. Submit your guess in the comments below.

Home Of The Little Dragon Slayer

Missing Camp Christine? This was home for four days. There is no television, sofa, aircon, computer, telephone and host of luxuries. It may not be like home but it seems that I am missing this place. How about you?

Thank You Parents and Guardians

Thank You For Entrusting Your Children To Us
Thank you for sending your children to The Little Dragon Slayer Camp (TLDS). The Little Dragon Slayer is a Children’s Bible Camp. Children take a journey as a tribe, it is one for all and all for one. These Little Dragon Slayers compete in challenges for luxuries and immunity as they fight the battles of life. Set in un-spoilt nature reserve of Camp Christine, Little Dragon Slayers have to decide carefully and apply their knowledge to finish the quest. Children will learn, explore and have fun - picking up good values vital to their early childhood development. Children will learn classic Bible stories from the Old and New Testament.

Synopsis
The Little Dragon Slayer program is led by Ernest Tan, the Big Tribal Chief with his Counsels, Jana Lim and Jeslin Lee. Campers known as travelers come under a tribe with a Tribal Chief and his Tribal Head. The Little Dragon Slayers come together as a tribe leaving behind their homeland for a better place. In their journey, The Little Dragon Slayers learn about The Great Kingdom of Heaven and how to get there. The journey is not easy, along the way they faced filth, hardships testing. The activities full of games will help the child learn about the gospel and how to walk the adventure of a believer.

Down Memory Lane
What a journey! On the first day, children are organized into four tribes – TUKA, RARO, RAVU and TAJI. Each having ten travelers, tribes learnt to interact with each other to build teamwork as they pool their resources together to reach their goals. The theme for day one was Flood followed by Drought & Famine and Hurricane. Each day presents different challenges. Drought focused on our poor habits which we pick up as we grow. Drought & Famine is about losing our identity from poor habits as we grow older and finally Hurricane is about testing – how do we overcome poor habits.
In TLDS, children took baths in cold water, prepared a meal, walked alone in the dark (most of them took a solo night walk for 25 metres), cleaned up their tables after meals, finished whatever was laid before them in meal time, completed their tasks within a time frame, perform challenges beyond their comfort zone, four days of ‘computer and game consoles cold turkey’, no couch potatoes, organized their bags and made their beds.

Finding it hard to believe? Your kids actually did these chores. Yes! They did them willingly. And they performed extremely well. Some children aware of their teams losing direction and points stepped out of their comfort zone to lead their tribes in cheers and games. Some cared enough to take care of those who are unhurried.

It was an amazing journey as we see how children adapted to situations and learn quickly in these settings. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. We strongly encourage you to talk to your children about the TLDS and see how excited they are when recalling precious memories. Engage them today and bring out the best in them.

Cheers
