BEFORE WE LOOK AT OUR EXCITING NEWS ABOUT OUR "REFORMATION" PRODUCTS THERE IS SAD NEWS TO SHARE
We have just received the news of long-time CMI worker, chief writer, conference speaker, supporter and true friend Reverend Tom Waldecker's passing away. Tom is now in Glory with His Savior whom he served so well.
Children's Ministry International benefited from Tom Waldecker's three decades of unselfish service to this small Ministry. Tom's indelible Christ-like influence and legacy will continue to be seen as CMI's materials are translated and distributed around the world.
Before coming to CMI in GA, Tom was a loving and successful pastor at several PCA and RPC(ES) churches in the Midwest with his first wife, Lil. His Reformed, theological insight to CMI's material is clearly evident.
Tom continued working part-time at CMI through his late 80's. He was always a welcome sight at our offices in Tucker working on whatever task needing his special attention. He will be truly missed by his many friends.
Tom is survived by his dear wife, Judy Waldecker of Snellville, GA and his many, many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Tom's first wife, Lil, also worked for CMI and died in the early 1990's.
New "Heroes of Reformation" Book to Celebrate 500th Anniversary of Reformation
Children's Ministry International (CMI) has revised and colorized its "Heroes of the Reformation" booklet with colorized pictures of the lives of 10 of the great Reformers from John Wycliffe to Jonathan Edwards. We have also added new crafts and other information to make this edition a "new work".
This year, because of the 500th Anniversary of Martin Luther's placing the 95 Theses on the Wittenberg Door, there is renewed interest in the Reformation. As many of you know, Martin Luther was an Augustinian monk who realized in his study of the Scriptures that man is saved by faith alone through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone. The Roman church during this time taught another doctrine of salvation. Luther was "kidnapped" by his friends and hidden in order to protect him from the existing church. During his hiding, Luther translated the New Testament into German for the common person. Until then only Latin translations were available.
These exciting stories along with others are available in this revised, colorized text on the Reformation. If you order now the price will remain $17.50. It will rise to $25 after, so order now.
Along with the updated "Heroes of the Reformation", CMI is introducing a new coloring book, "Heroes of the Reformation Coloring Book." This special booklet not only has the black and white pictures for coloring of all the Reformers but a condensed story on each of them. It is a copy with a 10% discount for 10 or more.This is a NEW product, never before available and will be a welcomed, supplement to the study of the Reformers. Order your copy today!
Bible Building Blocks of the Faith Curriculum
The materials, CMI has developed and placed into 14 visual series, take a building block approach of foundational and systematic questions and answers to teach children the basics of Christianity. Each series contains five to eight lessons. Although each series can stand alone; when taken together the child is taught each basic doctrine of the Bible as it is outlined in the "Catechism for Young Children" of the Westminster Confession of Faith.
The questions and answer approach to a subject has been a proven and effective way to transmit truths for centuries. Each lesson contains full color flannelboard visuals of foundational and systematic questions, memory verses, and Bible lessons supplemented by a Series Theme Song, Scripture Songs, Review Games and Creative Expression (craft).
For Sunday Schools, Bible Clubs and Vacation Bible Schools each lesson takes from 1 to 3 sessions depending on the age of the student.

Equipping the Saints
CMI is committed to bring training to any church or group regardless of size, location, or denomination. During the training, teachers are equipped to explain the gospel message to unsaved children and challenge saved children to walk more boldly in the Spirit. In addition, teachers are instructed in how to assemble and use the flannelboard visual aids for more effective teaching. See more information about Seminars.
Blessings of Evangelizing the Lost
Many children's and teacher's lives have been transformed through the teaching of the CMI curricula. This change is evident as they gain a desire to live in obedience to the Lord.
This is just a part of the CMI story. The full story of how God has changed the lives of children and their teachers who have responded to Him will not be known until Jesus returns.
