Training Champions for Eternity!
A child-friendly way of saying making disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:18-20
Can Children’s Ministry Make Disciples and even Plant Churches? Yes!!!
Testimony: Colombia, South America
This village in a remote area did not have a church nearby. By God’s grace our trainers implemented the GameLife 1-2-3 Strategy: Reach a Child to Engage a Family to Plant a Church!!!
1. In the Video at 5 seconds to 8 seconds: Reach a Child — see the children playing the GameLife 1-2-3 games on the dirt street.
2. In the Video at 10 seconds to 14 seconds: Engage a Family — see the dads and moms in the background outside the home in a Bible Discovery for adults.
3. In the Video at 1 second till the end: Plant a Church — see the 25+ souls that make up this new church plant!!! (how many souls did you count?)
4. In the Video at 1 second till the end: New Young Leaders Trained — see the youth and young adults being trained to share the Gospel.
Three Generations are Being Reached at the Same Time
1. Current Generation: Adults and families gathering as a church, a new body of Christ, in the remote village without a nearby church.
2. Next Generation: Youth and new young leaders leading GameLife 1-2-3. The ministry is simple by design — it is a non-threatening entry-level leadership-experience. By God’s grace this will be the Next Generation of Disciple Makers and Church Planters.
3. Future Generation: Children are learning the Bible through experiential Games. By God’s grace this will be the Future Generation of Disciple Makers and Church Planters.

One Language
-
Children have one common language across all cultures and every continent — games. Children love playing games.
-
GameLife 1-2-3 uses “experiential-games” to teach life-lessons from the Bible. Games for Life. GameLife. This is commonly called “experiential-learning” or “experiential-education.”
-
It is simply the way Jesus taught “…With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? It is like a grain of mustard seed…” from Mark 4:30-32.
-
Jesus went from the easy to understand truth “seeds” to teach the new truth “Kingdom of God”
-
GameLife starts with an easy to understand truth in a “Game” to teach children the new truth about “Life”
