KIDS' CORNER
Teaching children compassion is a gift that keeps on giving. Below are some games and ideas to start encouraging your child to bless others.
EASTER WITH KIDS
Why not make Easter extra special for the kids with some fun activities?
To help you get ready, we've planned 6 fun and meaningful activities, one for each week leading up to Easter!
Each week, children can focus on a different prayer, asking God for His blessings and care for kids and families in Indonesia. These activities will help them prepare their hearts, grow closer to God, and share His love with others. Get ready to pray, learn, and have fun as we walk through this journey together!

NOTES FOR PARENTS
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11:24, ESV)
Explain to your child that we have learned about the lives of children living in poverty in remote villages. We know that we can make a difference. Remember, helping people is an opportunity given to us by God.
You can start helping those in need by praying.
When you pray, you open your heart to God to receive the compassion that He has for us, so that you can become a cheerful giver.
You can also pray for God to give them strength to handle the difficulties of their lives with grace, and cherish the gifts that He gives.

Challenge your child to color the page based on the instructions. When they finish coloring, explain to them that together you can support a child to go to school.
Have your child write a card with a prayer, an encouraging word or a Bible verse, and send the card along with your support to Mustard Seed's office.
