Here is a way to offer a fun experience and support Christian
discipleship in your home and church.
BIBLE TIME FUN WEEKLY
BIBLE TIME FUN WEEKLY is my thank you gift to those who support my art through Patreon. It is a resource that creates opportunities for spontaneous
spirit-guided conversations that have the potential to change lives.
The ten scripture activities are accompanied by discussion questions that
parents and teachers can use to engage kids deeper.
LIKE A MINI KID'S MAGAZINE
This is a booklet that subscribers receive every week for use at
home, church, club, outreach camp, or anywhere that God's work is being done.
It has four printed and reproduced pages back to back and then folded
like a program. There are ten fun activities that children actually look
forward to doing. The activities include a crossword puzzle, one or more word searches, a maze puzzle, a scrambler puzzle, and more.

SCRIPTURE FOCUSED
Each activity is scripture-focused in a profound way. The verse is the source of
the answers or word bank for the puzzle. Children are exposed to God's Word as children do the puzzles or
activities.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
The discussion questions tie into the activity and become the beginnings of
heart-to-heart conversations that lead to discipleship. They say more is
caught than is taught, and as you talk about the scripture, it is a natural
teaching event.

WHY DO I DO THIS?
I started to create Bible verse coloring pages for a Bible club at my church
called AWANAS. Then I made a Bible fun magazine that I printed on four pages
and sent to the kids who came to our church's summer Vacation Bible school. I
made the magazine for a few months, and it was a HUGE amount of work to design
it, draw it, print it, and send it out in the mail, and I could not keep it up.
Now I have improved my skills and use a computer for some of what I do, and I
created some templates to make things easier, but it still takes 25 to 30
hours each week to create BIBLE TIME FUN WEEKLY. When you see it, you will
agree that it represents a lot of thought and work.
I love God's Word, and I believe His Spirit uses His Word in the lives of
children. I believe God gives us gifts so we can be gifts to others, and I want
to use my gift of creativity for His glory. I've taught Sunday school,
children's church, VBS, and AWANAS, so I know there is no greater joy than to
see children give their lives to Jesus, and BIBLE TIME FUN WEEKLY is part of
the sowing of the seed in children's hearts.
Here are some of the scriptures in issue 81.
Part 1, for the older students, pages 1-2
- The coloring picture is inspired by Philippians 2:4a.
- The word search comes from Luke 9:57-58.
- The crossword uses Joshua 24:14-15.
- The explorer's challenge (mini Bible study) uses Proverbs 3:11-12.
- The cipher puzzle uses 1 Corinthians 2:2.
Part 2, for younger students, pages 3 - 4
- The large-letter word search uses Colossians 3:1-2.
- The 2nd coloring page is from John 16:33b.
- The maze uses words from John 10:9a.
- The scrambled letter puzzle uses 2 Corinthians 5:17.
- The dot to dot tracer uses Psalm 100:1.
Part 3, Page 5a&b, for parents and teachers, a discussion question for
each activity.
Some of these scriptures are all-time favorites, but you'll notice several are
the more difficult, "hard sayings of Jesus." Many programs avoid challenging
teachings for whatever reason. If it was so important that Jesus had to say
it, we should be careful to thoughtfully present these teachings too.
