summer ideas for your children

Summer is here and as parents we need to be active in using our time wisely. Spend lots of time teaching them more about Christ. Pray that they will grow to love Him. Over the next few days, I am going to be blogging about several ideas to boost their faith during the summer vacation.



Gladys Aylward may be small, but she serves a Big God! She’s seen Him lead through countless trials and challenges. But now, after eight years of service in China, Gladys is facing a crucial decision. Her village is under attack by the Japanese and the children in her care are in danger. Desperate to get the one hundred children out of harm’s way, the wounded Gladys awakens them in the night and begins a one hundred mile journey to safety. She is the only adult. There is no vehicle and no pack animal. They must carry what they need. It is a journey that can only be attempted with God at the lead.



In 1956, news from the steamy jungles of Ecuador spread rapidly around the world. Five young American men had been mercilessly killed by members of the Auca (Woadani) tribe – the very same people those young men had gone to serve and befriend. That seemingly senseless tragedy has become an inspirational marvel as family members of those young men have now befriended that very same tribe!

Our children love these movies! As a parent I am very thankful for them as well because it gives our children wonderful Christian heroes to look up to. Real heroes for Christ!
