Many Christian parents, grandparents, Sunday school teachers, and church leaders ask the same question: How do you share the Gospel with kids in a way they can understand?
Children often learn best through visual and interactive activities. That is why we have created a new Gospel colouring book designed specifically to help children engage with Bible truths while enjoying colouring activities.
This square (210mm) 16-page colouring book contains ten colouring pages, each featuring a carefully selected Bible verse that helps explain the Gospel message. The final pages (written by Josh Williamson) provide simple explanations of what each verse means, helping children understand who God is, why Jesus came into the world, and how a person can be forgiven and saved.
To preview some of the pages from the book, click the image below.
The first edition uses the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible, with other versions potentially becoming available in the future....
....To help families and churches use this resource, we are offering one free copy anywhere in the UK. Those wishing to order additional copies for churches, Sunday schools, holiday clubs, outreach events, or children's ministries are welcome to contact us.
Five ways to share the Gospel with kids using this colouring book
1. Use it during family devotions
One of the easiest ways to share the Gospel with kids is during family Bible time. Read each verse together, discuss its meaning, and allow children to colour the accompanying illustration. Perhaps focus on one verse each day and then a summary at the final day.
2. Teach children in Sunday school
Sunday school teachers can use each page as a lesson starter. The colouring activity helps keep children engaged while introducing important Bible truths.
3. Give it away at outreach events
If you are wondering how to share the Gospel with kids in your community, this colouring book makes an excellent giveaway at holiday clubs, church events, school fairs, and community outreach programmes.
4. Use it in homeschooling and Christian education
The book can be incorporated into Bible lessons and Christian studies, helping children understand key Gospel truths in a memorable way.
5. Share it with friends and relatives
Children often enjoy receiving gifts they can use immediately. This colouring book provides a simple and practical way to introduce children to the message of Jesus Christ. Why not give one as a gift for a birthday, easter or Christmas?
A simple Gospel message for children
The colouring book presents the Gospel through ten carefully chosen Bible verses and accompanying explanations. Together they answer one of the most important questions anyone can ask: How can a person be made right with God? Here is the summarised message you will find at the end of the book:
The Good News in 10 Verses!
The Bible is how God speaks to us, and in His book, He tells us some bad news, but also some very good news! Let me summarise that message for you.
God is Creator: The world, the planets,the stars, all the animals, everything that existsis made by God. It is not an accident; rather, God created it all.
God made you in His image: You are not a mistake! You are special, as you have been made by God. He loves you, and you have value and purpose.
God gave us His Law: God, because He loves us, wants what is best for us, so He has given us rules to live by – we call them the Ten Commandments. The problem is, we haveall broken God’s Law!
All people have sinned: Sin is breaking God’s Law; it is going against what God says. Some of the sins we commit include lying, stealing, disobeying parents, failing to love God, and failing to love each other.
The result of sin: If you do something wrong, there is often a punishment. The same is true with God. Our sin brings death, judgement, and hell. That is the bad news!
God loves the world: Here is some really good news! God loves you – He loves people who have done wrong. He shows that love by providing a way for you to be forgiven.
Christ died for us: The wrong we did meant we should die and be judged, but Jesus, on the cross, died in the place of sinners. He takes their punishment. He dies the death they should die.
Christ rose again: Jesus didn’t stay dead! Three days after He died, He came back to life.
God calls you to repent: When we see how loving and kind Jesus has been, we should repent –that is, turn from our sins and turn to Jesus.
God calls you to believe: As you turn from sin, you also turn to Jesus and trust/believe in Him as the only One who can forgive you. You don’t hope your good works forgive you; you simply trust in Jesus who died and rose again.
The question for you: “Have you turned from your sins and trusted in Jesus?” If not, you can do so right now. Simply ask Him to forgive you for all your sins and trust that He died and rose again. If you have a Bible, start reading it at the book called “John”. Remember, God speaks through the Bible. As you read, you’ll learn more about the God who loves you. If you don’t have a Bible, please contact us – we’d love to send you one for free. (Links are included for the reader to respond)
