Will They Follow?: A Leader's Guide to Reaching Today's Children

Will They Follow? is an extensive and comprehensive book that describes how to create a program that children love to attend. Through an impactful and exciting ministry, you can fulfill Christ's final command to make disciples. Will They Follow? explains how to make the narratives of the Bible come alive. Included are teaching Bible verses for life, leading a child to Christ, playing games and activities to reinforce the Bible lesson, recruiting and energizing volunteers, partnering with parents, dealing with behavioral issues, and attracting children from unchurched homes. The anecdotal stories help the message come alive. Dr. Syme also offers a unique and strategic plan for working in small groups to discuss the real-life application of the Bible lesson. A plan for small group discussions for many Bible lessons is included along with several puppet skits which will help facilitate those discussions.
