[Kid Inspiration]

You saw it here first… final artwork for ‘Tell the World’.

You may have seen it, 3,300,00 people already have, but if not check out a beautiful skit on Godtube.com

Lifehouse, Everything Skit.

On episode 59 of the Simply Youth Ministry Podcast the guys mention they just hired a new children’s pastor at Saddleback Church.

Looking forward to see who will be pastoring the kids at this great church!

We weren’t sure of the release date or price as it was all being handled by Integrity in the States…

While writing a post on Kidology I thought I would do a quick search on the all knowing oracle… It turns out that Google does indeed know all, and bought up a couple of online stores with all the details.

So for pre-order try here:

Hillsong Kids MPEG Video Library, Volume 1

“Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t change the world by saying, ‘I have a complaint.’ ”
– Artist Chris Jordan

Just put together this quick list of the reasons the leaders (not the kids) wear identical tee-shirts and name-tags at Hillsong Kids.

Inspired and mostly blatantly ripped off from Scott Ginsberg (who wears a name-tag 24-7).

4 Reasons for TS and NT

1. It’s pure, human and friendly. And most importantly, it’s simple. Not to mention, you’re immediately on a first name basis … with everyone!
2. Inspires confidence in parents. A parent walking into a room filled with leaders wearing tee-shirts and name-tags gives an immediate sense of safety and assurance.
3. It’s self-disclosing. Having your name encourages an exchange of personal information and builds an instant connection. Name-tags instantly and constantly reveal your personal information to everyone around you. This foregoes your anonymity. Which creates instant accountability for your actions.
4. Helps to create a sense of authority with children. A teacher can give detentions, a policeman can arrest, a Hillsong Kids leader does not have that luxury (no matter how much you want to). Establishing a sense of authority in your leadership is helped by name-tags and tee-shirts.

Not final artwork yet, but the preorder page is up for Tell the World!

TELL THE WORLD is the latest live worship album from Hillsong Kids that will capture the heart of every child and encourage them to tell their world that Jesus lives!

So Kidsfest 07 is in the can!

Along with our latest album recording ‘Tell the World’ (Sneak preview of artwork on my tee-shirt in picture below).

Myself and Nathan McLean after the Dave and Nath Gross-out show. (The slime was especially imported from a swamp in Eastern Europe… or that’s what we told the kids).

Much more to come…
