ROBB'S WORKSHOPS
"EFFECTIVE EVANGELISM THROUGH YOUR CHILDREN'S MINISTRY!" PART 1 Suitable for a General Session, also.- The Children's Churches under the direction of Robb Dunham have documented thousands of decisions for Christ during his 14 years as a children's pastor and family life pastor, and thousands more as a children's evangelist. This workshop will minor upon the basis and background for children's evangelism in general, and major upon practical elements of how to effectively reach unchurched children on their level through a church's solid children's ministry.
"EFFECTIVE EVANGELISM PART 2:
YOU WON'T CATCH WAHOO WITH WORMS!"
Suitable for a General Session, also.
- After Robb shared this workshop with a group of senior pastors, the leader for that region decided right then and there to go out that afternoon and purchase a school bus for his church's outreach to families and children - without getting finance committee or board approval! And he did it! While this workshop is not directly about bus ministry, it is powerfully designed to equip attendees with an understanding of distinctive methods for reaching specific people groups with the Gospel; how to relate with people on their level, how aim and fire to hit the target, choosing the right bait, and biblical logic underlying radical evangelism ministry.

"DEVELOPING CHILD WARRIORS!" 
Suitable for a General Session, also.
Co-teach with Jacqui
- Children often face challenges to their walk in God. Here are tools to build up children in spiritual warfare and authority, and in knowing who they really are in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ! They can have spiritual backbone, and be leaders of their peers.
"YOU LOOKING GOOD!"
ELEVATING THE PERCEPTION OF CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES AT YOUR CHURCH"
Suitable for a General Session, also.
- One of the biggest challenges for any children's ministry leader is helping the adult congregation recognize that your ministry is a vital part of the kingdom plan for the entire church.
Here's a link to a Step by Step Strategy Outline that really works!
"PASSION FOR WORSHIP" Suitable for a General Session, also -
-
How do you get kids to enjoy and be involved in singing during services and children's events? We believe that the number one thing that should characterize believer's lives is WORSHIP. Entering into the Presence of God in worship has to be the first priority. Children's leaders question, "How do you get kids to really enter into worshipping God? All they want to do is goof around, or stand there with dulled eyes and mute like they are in a trance or drugged." Fresh answers and the reality of a worship experience enhance this unique presentation.
Here's a link to get you thinking - and praying!

"90 DAYS TO A RE-VISIONED CHILDREN'S MINISTRY" Suitable for a General Session, also
- Are you feeling like the church's children's ministry is getting too "run of the mill"? Maybe a little stale? Need a refreshing touch in your own life?

"STRATEGIZING, SCHEDULING AND STAFFING CHILDREN'S CHURCH"
- The "FUN" of children's ministries is often overshadowed by daily administrative duties. For Children's Church to run smoothly, a great deal of time and energy can be expended by those who either may not have gained the experience necessary to plan and administer effectively and efficiently, or may not have administrative strengths and giftings. This session is oriented to streamline an all-inclusive, step-by-step approach to Children's Church.

"CLASSROOM DISCIPLINE: FIRM BUT FAIR"
- Children are looking for love and attention, and they express this in many ways. Sometimes, inappropriately. Very practical insights will be shared regarding forming the basis for discipline in students lives, having a controlled classroom setting that is fun, handling "attention attackers", and forming a church discipline policy.

"RECRUITING A CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES TEAM:
TURNING A NIGHTMARE INTO A DREAM!"

"FOLLOW-UP MADE EASY(R)"
- Follow-up is one of the main keys to the success of a children's ministry. That being said, many of us regard it as a necessary evil, and it doesn't get done, or is done haphazardly. This workshop is not designed to put you on a guilt trip, but rather to give very practical ideas for establishing a solid follow-up and visitation ministry, and make it the highlight of your week. Shared from the heart of a children's evangelist.

"PUTTING THE MAGIC BACK INTO YOUR TEACHING!" You do not have to be an accomplished magician to bring excitement into your lessons. Attention grabbing tricks will help students zero in on what you are trying to convey to them. Age appropriate illusions you can learn today and put to use in your classroom tomorrow. |
"CRAZY CHARACTERS INVADE YOUR CHILDREN'S MINISTRY!"
- "Princess Marshmallow", "Wipe-Out Willy", and "Dr. Chatterfingers": At least a dozen fully costumed characters expressing biblical themes will be shared. Slides, overheads, videos and music will accompany the "how-to" presentation.

"FORMING A LOCAL AREA CHILDREN'S LEADERS NETWORK"
- The need for support, fellowship, idea sharing and encouragement to be more effective in reaching the children and families in our communities for Christ is very real. This workshop will give practical steps for forming a local fellowship of children's pastors, educators and leaders in your city or town.
"IMPACTING SPIRITUAL GROWTH - INTERFACING CHRISTIAN EDUCATION & FAMILY" Suitable for a General Session, also -
Co-teach with Jacqui
- Providing education and care for a child should be more than a service. It should be an active relationship between the educator and the child's family. A Christian Education program has the potential of impacting the spiritual growth of both the child and his/her whole family. Whatever happens in that child's life, whether at home or at the church, effects the entire family in some way. Let's make a lasting, positive impression for Christ.
JACQUI'S WORKSHOPS
"THROUGH THE MIND OF A CHILD"
- Learn effective teaching and parenting by understanding the basic development of a child's thinking and reasoning processes. By thinking like a child, you can become a more effective teacher and role model.

"TRANSITION TIME FOR TWO'S & THREES"
- Transition time does not have to be chaos! Learn how to put order back into the classroom (or your home) and enjoyment back into teaching and parenting.
"LET'S DO THE TWIST! BEGINNING BALLOONING"
- You've wanted to do it, but you didn't know if you had enough hot air! Well, fear no more. Ballooning is easy, fun and really captures the attention of kids (and adults) of all ages. You will make several balloon creations while learning the basics for making almost ANYTHING! Requires a small purchase of balloons at the workshop.
"TELL ME MORE!"
- Story telling skills that capture the imagination and utilize creativity in exciting, life-impacting ways. Not the typical workshop!

"LOVE, LOGIC AND LETTING GO"
- Our children are "on loan" to us while they are growing (or in our care in our role as teachers). Our job is to love them, train them up as Proverbs 22:6 says, and begin letting them go as soon as we bring them home from the hospital. Yes, we can do all this GRACEFULLY.
"LOVING THE UNLOVABLE"
- There are people we cross paths with whom society has rejected. They are the misfits. They just don't "fit in". Some may attend your Sunday School class or Children's Church. Some are "Special Needs" kids; others are kids with special needs. Jesus reached out to them, and He can do it today through you and me. After all, He calls them "INDISPENSABLE".
