When those days happen in Children’s Ministry, you know, the ones that leave you frustrated, ready to throw in the glitter and give up the goldfish for good, discouragement always seems to win out. We know we’re called to an abundant life in Christ, but the real question is: When discouragement comes, do we have a plan to face it?

This practical guide to facing discouragement and redefining what counts as a win is a must have for every Children’s Ministry Leader. With space to reflect and evaluate your ministry, this book is the pause you need to see not only where you’ve been, but also where God is leading you. Filled with tips and practical ideas you can implement right away, Redefining the KidMin Wins unpacks the Scriptures to reveal a vision of Children’s Ministry modeled by Jesus Himself.

As a primer on children’s ministry and God’s view of children – the church of TODAY – we recommend this book to any pastor or leader who wants to discover how they can cultivate a church that welcomes children as Jesus did in Matthew 19:14.

FREE BONUS: Book comes with a free Ministry Check Up Guide!
