The What's Next Challenge: a Discipleship Tool for Children's Ministry SPIRITUAL HABIT: Share Your Story AGE GROUP: Elementary TEACHING SERIES: Get the teaching series What's Next? that goes along with this activity here ! This activity is designed to help kids practice the spiritual habit of sharing your story. Because if we want to grow spiritually, we need to make faith a regular, everyday, go-to topic of conversation as we learn to connect our stories with God's story and then share our stories with others. No two stories are exactly the same. Even when we share similar experiences, each of us has a unique journey that shapes who we are and how we see the world. In The What's Next Challenge , kids will spend one month exploring your own story-who they are, what they've experienced, and who they want to become. Each week, kids will complete an activity designed to help them reflect on different parts of their life and how Jesus has been at work in their journey. As they put the pieces together, kids will see how their story has led them to where they are and how it connects to God's bigger story. At the end of this challenge, kids will have the chance to show their work at a gallery and share their stories with their friends, leaders, and families. All our discipleship activities are built to be flexible! You can use this activity in a variety of ways with just a little bit of modification, but here's how we recommend using this one: use this activity during your weekly program at church all month long.
