Making a Difference: A Bible Plan for Leaders in Kids’ MinistrySample

You Were Made for This

It’s good you’re here.

No one is exactly like you, with your life experiences, skills, talents, and traits. God made you to be you. But more on that later.

You’re probably reading this because you’re passionate about helping kids find the joy of knowing Jesus. Maybe you just started this journey or maybe you’ve been doing it for a while. Either way, you probably know one thing: leading kids isn’t easy.

They’re unpredictable parcels of energy, filled to the brim with questions and emotions. They’ll keep you on your toes and sometimes step on them, too. And yet, they’re made in the image of God—just like you. They’re perfectly imperfect—just like you. They’re full of energy because their world feels full of potential. They have questions because every day presents them with new discoveries. Every day, they’re building the very foundations of their lives. And this is where you come in.

You, not because you’re a Bible scholar or because you have everything figured out, but because you know how Jesus has changed your life, and you want to share that joy with the kids entrusted to you.

That’s why you’re here. But you don’t have to do it alone.

Think of this Bible Plan as a friend or a coach—here to support you, encourage you, and challenge you as you lead the next generation.

Over the next four days, we’ll talk about mindsets that will help you succeed in kids’ ministry, modeled after the life of the one who did it best—Jesus. He knows the truth about you:

You were made for this.

Pray This: Heavenly Father, thank You for making me unique. Open my heart to Your truth as I begin this Bible Plan, and align it with Yours. I’m grateful for the opportunity You’ve given me to lead kids closer to You. Help me to trust You every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Do This: If you’re not going through this Bible Plan with another friend, coach, or leader in kids’ ministry, why not send them a message and ask them to join you? Life is better together. If you are going through this Bible Plan with someone, share with them one way you hope to grow by reading it.
