Matthew 4:18-20 Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men
Want to teach children Matthew 4:18-20? Memory Cross has created a fun little card that makes it easy to learn this verse and many others. Four panels break Scripture down into smaller parts making it easy to remember, plus the fun design makes children want to learn. In fact you may have a hard time getting them to put it down.
Scripture memorization is one of the most important things we can pass onto our children. It is a habit that will plant seeds and help keep them grounded in God throughout their life.
Chuck Swindoll wrote, "I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than Scripture memorization. . . . No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends! Your prayer life will be strengthened. Your witnessing will be sharper and much more effective. Your attitudes and outlook will begin to change. Your mind will become alert and observant. Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced. Your faith will be solidified" (Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life [Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994], p. 61).
That is a pretty good thing to pass onto your children. We put together a little video that shows how Memory Cross woks.
One of the most engaging ways in which children can lean about this Bible Event which did occur (not a story which may have been made up) while enjoying the activity of coloring.
We give these away in our summer reading program every year. This is our 5th year. So much variety makes these a great addition to church visitor bags, kids gift bags, door to door hand outs, or just something in your purse to leave with your tip.
We will be taking these with us to Camp Eli in the foothills of the Carpathian Mts. We will use these at a childrens' camp on the last day to reinforce teaching others about Jesus. We are taking enough for the workers to take home to use in local work as well.
Loved the Easter story which touches on all the important facts. Everyone loved it. The movement and action of the cross help reinforce the greatest story ever told!
I have bought these cards several times for my 1st and 2nd grade Sunday school class. Kids love to unfold them and see the story. I love that the card focuses on Jesus his triumphant entry,death and resurrection. The kids can share the story with others.
These cards are great! The kids love them. Parents and teachers tell how the kids are loving them and practicing them continually.
They are a great teaching tool and give the kids ways to share about Jesus!!!
I appreciate that these beautiful cards were free from the prayer to accept Christ as one ‘s Savior. We as Lutheran Christians do not stress that and prefer to point baptism out to the children. This unique way to present the card was surely a fun way for the children to get the whole message.
