For
several years our church children's ministry was in decline. Then we found
KIDMO! God has used this resource to transform our ministry. Attendance has
nearly tripled in the last 18 months. Even our fifth grade boys now beg to lead
the worship. Thanks to the creativity and energy of KIDMO our kids are learning
to apply biblical truth to their everyday lives.

KIDMO has brought a new vibrant and alive perspective for teaching foundational
concepts to our kids and is providing the building blocks for strong spiritual
development. Johnny Rogers' crazy spunk has thrilled their minds and the catchy
tunes, actions and phrases spark a desire for wanting more of God in the hearts
of all who participate. Even the adults!

Since discovering KIDMO our attendance has tripled-and we have no more
complaining kids! We also have many stories of kids getting their parents up
for church, running from the car to be in class, and visitors who have told
their parents this is where they want to come to church! If that isn't enough
our volunteers are thrilled to not be overloaded with preparation so they can
focus on making relational connects. We can't wait to start Lil' K with our
preschoolers!

KIDMO is not just about teaching and informing, but helping to make
world-changing disciples. Our kids are going out with confidence into their
neighborhoods and schools.

We started using KIDMO about a year ago and love it. I was hesitant at first,
but after God began speaking to me committed to give it a try. What blew me
away is that kids we have never been able to engage before are finally
connecting!

In the BLITZ series, kids were asked to give up something for one week (i.e.
Gameboy) in order to focus more time with God. The following week we had
parents telling us stories of kids not only doing it, but being excited about
it. Now our kids are teaching other kids.

This is a note from a church planter in Olive Branch, Mississippi. They are a
few years old and struggling with kids. But sounds like you helped them out.
Hal Mayer, Pastor
Church At The Bay-Tampa, Florida Hey Hal,
Thanks for the tip about "KIDMO!" It has revolutionized our kid's ministry and
God has shown us grace...we just hired our first children's pastor!
You were right,

My husband and I visited with the KIDMO team at the conference in Kansas City a
few months ago and came back so excited! We are a small new church with kids
that range in age from 5 to 13. All the kids take part of KIDMO even though
some are younger or older than it is intended. They ALL love it!!!!
I just wanted to let you know that one of our 5 year olds accepted Christ
through the KIDMO program. We are on the series that covered the ADMIT, ASK,
ACCEPT lesson that had the MAP book to send home with the kids. She took that
home and asked her mom about it and was saved! We are so excited! This just
shows that all the kids can participate and learn from the wonderful messages
of KIDMO and the Gospel!
The KIDMO team gave us a shirt with everyone's signature and we are working on
getting it framed along with the wonderful card from all of you to put on our
wall. Our kids LOVE Johnny Rogers, KIDMO and the music!!!
Thanks for the wonderful program that you offer!

We have a van ministry that picks up children from a very run down trailer
park. Their families do not go to church. These kids do especially well with
the KIDMO format.
One little boy and his sisters had it very rough at home. We did as much as we
could to make sure that they had clothes, heat and food. He came to know Christ
as his Savior through KIDMO and I was able to visit with his mom and dad to get
permission for him to be baptized. His parents never showed up for his special
day but our church made a big celebration for him. I could not understand their
absence. Anyway, the following week he and his sisters ended up in the middle
of a huge drug bust at their trailer park. They were taken into CPS custody.
Our whole children's ministry team was heartbroken. I went to visit the mom in
prison and I was her only visitor. She said that she couldn't believe that I
cared about her.
When she was released two weeks later, she and her husband were in church
rededicating their lives. She signed papers that allow me to be involved in all
that takes place with the boy and his sisters. They have been placed in a
loving home and this precious boy is now busy trying to convince his new family
to come to our church and know Jesus. His faith has been a rock for not only
himself but his younger sisters as well.
Keep up the transformation!

We love KIDMO! We used Willow Creek for 6 years and this is the best our
program has ever been. We can't wait for Lil' K. We are going to change to that
curriculum in our pre-school.

We would like to thank you for all your wonderful themes and great material.
Our kids have really loved DRIVE and we had a lot of fun taking our pictures
with Johnny. I've attached just a few of them for you to see.
So thanks again Team KIDMO for all your hard work and dedication to sharing
God's truth with children. Keep it up!

Just wanted to let you know about our KIDMO experience. We started our first
Children's worship in August of this year. Our ministry team decided to use
your KIDMO curriculum. At first I was not sure, it was a little more "out
there" than what we are used to, but the experience has been wonderful! Our
children are really enjoying worship! It is so easy to use that our staff is
able to concentrate on relationships with kids instead of extensive planning.
Our parents are commenting on how excited their children are to come to church
and are always inviting their friends to come also. We hope that one day we
will be designing our own programming but for know you have been a huge
blessing for us. We have been able to provide a program that is more advanced
long before we anticipated. Thank you for your ministry!
