Resources for Kids of Courage

Kids of Courage resources help parents and educators teach children ages 5 to 13 about persecuted Christians around the world, and provide opportunities for the children to serve and pray for them.

FEATURED RESOURCE

God’s Apostle: The Adventures of Paul
by The Voice of the Martyrs with Cheryl Odden (40 pages, hardcover, color illustrations)

Paul (formerly Saul) made it his mission to hunt down Christians everywhere. Followers of Christ knew him as a vicious persecutor and a terrifying adversary.

Then one day, Paul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus. His life was transformed, and the early church’s worst enemy became its first missionary to the Gentiles. Enduring great hardships, Paul passionately led others to Christ. This book encourages children to boldly share Christ with others.

God’s Apostle: The Adventures of Paul by The Voice of the Martyrs with Cheryl Odden is available at VOM Books.
