Make Waves: A Kid’s Devotional on Changing the World

We all want our kids to make an impact – so let’s get our kids learning from an early age that they can!  Orange Ministry has a devotional book for kids and preteens called “Make Waves: A Kid’s Devotional on Changing the World.”

From the website:

What if, every time kids go for a swim, splash through a puddle, or jump in the water, they remember they were created for a reason? Not just to play in the water, but to make the kind of waves that produce a positive difference in this world. 

That’s why God made each of us in His image: to imagine, dream, think, and change things. That’s also why God gave us His Spirit: to work in us and through us to change the world around us.

Every kid in your ministry – in your community – needs to understand that the God who made the oceans made them and that He is working in their lives to bring about good things. Where there is sadness, they can make waves of joy. Where there is fear, they can respond with resilience. When others are selfish or insecure, their humility and confidence can have a constructive ripple effect on the people around them.

This interactive devotional, written to and for kids about the fruit of God’s Spirit, includes…

  • 9 weeks of engaging activities (with something fun to do on almost every page)
  • 4 days of devotions for each week
  • A hands-on challenge to put the key principles from the week into practice
