A little over a week ago, I wrote that Kidzmatter was giving away an electronic edition of K! Magazine. I did not know it at the time, but I learned last week that this was part of a much larger plan to take the entire magazine into a digital format.
Today, they’ve made the official announcement that, with every print subscription of the magazine, you will also receive a digital subscrption (click here to view a sample of what it will look like). This is a huge advancement for the magazine. One of the biggest hassles for me in regards to reading a magazine is that, unless I carry the thing everywhere I go, I can only read it when I have free time at home. The new e-version of K! will be available on any mobile device or computer using the web browser.
Here’s the official announcement.
K! Magazine has the biggest kidmin announcement of the summer: we’re the first mag for kidmin to go digital. Now, when you subscribe to K! Mag, you not only get 6 great magazine issues in your mailbox, but you also get access to a completely immersive digital K! Mag reading experience. All for the same price of just $19.95 a year. The best magazine for kidmin just got better. Learn more at http://thekmagazine.com/
The cost of a one year subscription is only $19.95. This now includes the print copy and the digital copy. That is a tremendous value and one that would be hard to beat…unless you have connections. In honor of today’s announcement, I have been given five one-year subscriptions of K! to give away to my readers. I cannot believe their generosity and I’m so excited that five of you will get to experience K! for free for a full year.
All you need to do to be entered in the drawing is leave a comment below telling me one creative thing you have done to take your kids’ ministry to the next level. This could be something as simple as having everyone sit on the floor instead of chairs or sending the bible verse as a text message or anything!
For an extra entry in the drawing, tweet the following “Win a one-year subscription of K! Magazine via @pastorjaredm & @kidzmatter http://wp.me/p1lgcL-fL #kidmin #cmconnect #thinkorange”
*Note, the tweet is an EXTRA chance, but you still must leave a comment to win. I will take the first five names from a randomly generated list using random.org. Please comment and tweet before midnight on Sunday, July 10. I will announce the winners on Monday.
Winners: The top five names in this list have won a one year subscription. I will be contacting you via email to get the shipping information. Make sure you show your appreciation to Ryan Frank and Kidzmatter for providing these.
IT is a great idea and I do enjoy the magazine, in fact I get a second subscription to give to a key volunteer as a way to say thank-you to them. If i’m blessed to win another subscription I have another person in mind, that I will bless!
I love hearing that you’re giving them away. They really are a great resource.

Super excited about the news!
I started an activity with my small group girls to help them memorize the Bible verse and to encourage a conversation with their parents about what they have been learning. Each week we highlight the memory verse and I challenge them to not only memorize it, but also to come back in the following week with a family member who has also memorized the verse (complete with hand motions) with them. Once they have both said the verse to me, I reward the child. Really seeing incredible conversations happening due to this challenge.
Way to involve the family. Good idea.

Just finished our Wed Night check in room that has a “Jesus Rocks” theme. Ping pong, video games, art table and working on a stage to rock out on!! Their faces were priceless when they saw the transformation.
Cool!

I love K! Also love freebies. I won a copy of the Illustrated Bible CD-ROM. I am printing out a copy for each child of the Bible story for the lesson. Much more interesting than just the text in our classroom set of Bibles.
Freebies are always great. You’re right, anytime you can give the kids something to see you’ve increased the experience and the retention.

I love to set the scene, any props that can enhance the imaginations of the children, I consider an asset.
Jesus’ favorite method of teaching was using props. Everyday things illustrate eternal points. Good idea.

I started a discipleship group this summer for our kids who have made a decision to follow Christ and have been baptized. Each time we meet, we leave church campus and go out “Jesus style” to learn basic discipleship lessons from the stuff around us. At the end of each meeting, we stop at Dairy Queen for small cones for everyone in the church van. Priceless. One thing I would still like to do to take our ministry to the next level is finally sit down over supper with mr and mrs massey!!! Maybe in August??!! HINT HINT

Whenever you leave the church premises, you make the experience that much more memorable and when you add ice cream, well, you win everytime.
Yes, let’s make it happen in August.
Fun memory verse activities – like a scavenger hunt around the room. If we’re taking our kids’ ministry to the next level, our kids have to be grounded in God’s Word. So we’re really focusing on helping them learn to navigate their own Bibles and encouraging them to study them on their own.
It saddens me that kids have such a hard time finding key books of the Bible. Memorizing scripture and learning how to navigate the text are very important, even in today’s tech savvy culture.
