This piece of merchandise has quite a story to it but you may not even have come across it yet. It is a small booklet filled with advice from youth & children's workers and volunteers - on how to survive working with children and young people! It was compiled from the collective wisdom of people just like you and me...
Back in January 2008, we took an exhibition stand along to the Children's Ministry conference in Eastbourne as usual. What differed from most years was the "Kidswork Survival Kit" - a collection of 'novelty' items intended to help the visitors with their ministry - that we gave out to guests in return for some of their own insight into the world of the kids worker. We gave all the kits out in record time and we collected hundreds of pieces of "advice" from those guests, ranging from the rather flippant to the utterly profound...
Scroll on a few months and we gathered all of these 'words of wisdom' and turned them into a thought-provoking book, designed to encourage and inspire, while giving the credit to the very people we look to serve - the paid and volunteer youth & children's workers!
So, that's the "Little Book of Wisdom". It makes an ideal gift for your leadership team or for a friend who is in need of a boost in their mission and calling. They are currently available from the US team and cost £1 each (plus postage, depending on the quantity you order). Why not get hold of some today?! |
