One of the partner projects I’ve been involved in for quite a while now has been kidmin1124.com. This is a site dealing specifically with unique issues of being a volunteer or bivocational children’s leader. Sadly, those of us who pioneered this site have moved on to other responsibilities and we have announced that the site will be ending. However, there were many great things created through that ministry. One of those was a radio show for children’s leaders that deal with issues specific to volunteers and bivocational leaders. I thought it would be fun to revisit those shows one-by-one. The first show was simply an introduction to the contributors so I’ve chosen to skip it.
Episode 2 was a show dedicated to resources available in children’s ministry. I’ve compiled a pretty extensive list based on the show. I’ve attempted to include links when available.
