Resources for Children's Ministry Volunteers

When I came into children's ministry, I had no seminary or ministry conference experience to help me. Karl Bastian, who runs a website called Kidology was and is my mentor. I read everything he suggests and have grown leaps and bounds because of it. Here are his top 10 lists for books, websites and experiences those in children's ministry can gain from. I wanted to share this with you whether you're a children's ministry volunteer, parent, or just plain interested in kids. Hope these encourage you like they have me.
