Kidology Coach Recently Featured

Most likely, not many of you are subscribers to YFC Alumni News, but if you were, you’d have seen Kidology Coaching‘s Barney Kinard featured! Here is the article in full, including a perhaps never-before-seen picture of Barney as a young student! From Preacher Boy to Preacher to Boys and Girls: Barney Kinard’s Story In the fall of 1960, I entered a Preacher-Boy Contest sponsored by Youth for Christ in Denver, Colorado, under the leadership of Jim Groen. I did not win the contest, but God used that experience the next day to call me into the ministry to preach the word. After graduation from Littleton High School I began my preparation for ministry by attending Moody Bible Institute. Upon graduation in 1964, I attended Biola University and then graduated from Azusa Pacific University in 1966. Graduate work began at Talbot Theological Seminary and graduation followed from Fuller Theological Seminary in 1972. After ordination, in 1972, I became the itinerant Children’s Evangelist with Creative Children’s Ministries out of Buena Park, CA, where currently I serve as CEO, President. My vision now is to creatively evangelize children and help others to do the same. For over 38 years I have successfully been evangelizing children…

He’s Barack Obama!

Too funny!

You Make Our Day

When I read the testimonial to the right recently, it made my day! Just imaging a bunch of kids in South Africa having a “water war” because of a post I wrote nearly ten years ago brought a huge smile to my face. That’s what I love about Kidology, not just getting great e-mails about how the site has impacted our members leadership, ministries or children, but because it enables the reach of even the simplest idea to be multiplied and magnified beyond what you can even imagine. I probably spend more time on the Testimonial Page than most. Whenever I get overwhelmed by the things to do, the emails to answer, the projects to work on or the deadlines that keep getting pushed back, all I need is a few minutes being reminded that not only is what I do today making a difference, but what I did years ago is still making a difference today. And it’s not just me, it’s YOU TOO! When you take time to SUBMIT AN IDEA to Kidology.org, you are not only helping Leon in South Africa and Barb in Japan, but Katie in Alaska, Joanne in Brazil, and Chikondi in Malawi! Not to mention…

Looks Like a Binkey

The all new Kidology.org has just gone live, and we were having fun showing Luke the walk-out videos (linked below) and Sara was trying to explain to Luke that this website is Daddy’s job, and he just made a new website. Luke took one look at the web page and said, “Looks like a binkey.” At first we thought, “Huh?” but on a closer look, we could see what he was talking about: I guess our logo does look a little like a binkey, after all! We hope the new website will pacify many as they seek to reach and teach kids for Jesus! Check out the walk about videos at these links: What is Kidology? and Who is Karl? For an overview of all that is new, be sure to visit: What’s New?
