"Heroes of Reformation" Book Updated and Expanded!
Last year in commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, Children’s Ministry International (CMI) completely revised the "Heroes of the Reformation" book colorizing it, adding activities and rewriting sections. CMI also introduced a new “coloring book” on the Reformation.
Now your children can not only learn the Martin Luther story but look at the lives of many of the most famous reformers including John Wycliffe “the Morningstar of the Reformation, John Huss from Bohemia, Ulrich Zwingli from Switzerland, John Calvin from Geneva, John Bunyan from England, and many others. And the wonderful and distinctive characteristic about CMI materials is that you can use them over and over again. They are geared for students between K5 and sixth grade, but Middle Schoolers and high schoolers can learn a lot about our Reformation heritage too!
Give yourself and your church a Halloween break this year by having a “Reformation Day Celebration”. Yes, there are alternatives to that “spook-filled” day. Just over 500 years ago Martin Luther, on October 31, 1517, pinned 95 theses on the Wittenberg Door in Germany launching the Protestant 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.
To recap, CMI has revised and colorized its "Heroes of the Reformation" booklet with colorful 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" and for the remainder of September and all of October get a 20% discount for ordering these materials.
Bible Building Blocks of the Faith Curriculum Series
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 flannel board 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).

Equipping the Saints
CMI is committed to bringing 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 flannel board 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.
CMI produces Reformed educational material for children related and relevant to the Westminster Confession Catechisms; Reformed Sunday School materials, children's catechisms; Vacation Bible School; Children's Church; Christian Holiday Celebrations; Advent materials; home devotions; shorter Catechism; Reformation Day celebrations; and Christian Character Building curriculum.
