Course Considerations

Little children are everywhere—in playgrounds, parks, shopping centers, high-rise apartments, housing projects, churches, day cares, homes and preschools. Authorities tell us that the early years are the most important ones in a child’s life. By the age of five or six a youngster’s intellectual development is half over, therefore, teaching Bible to young children has the potential of laying very important spiritual and intellectual foundations. It is important to begin to instill spiritual truth in the lives of young children. Amy Carmichael was three years of age when she trusted Christ as Savior. James Dobson was three. Corrie ten Boom was five. Many young children can and do trust Christ during the early years. Teaching Little Kids, a 30-hour course, is being offered to equip Christians to take God’s Word to young children during their most receptive years. The course gives characteristics of little kids (ages three to seven) and practical helps for ministering God’s Word to them on their level. The student will learn how to effectively share the message of salvation on a young child’s level so children can understand and have opportunity to receive Christ as Savior. In Teaching Little Kids attention is focused on practical hands-on experience and training, thus enabling the students to initiate an ongoing Good News Club for little kids.
