What is Kids EE?

EE stands for Evangelism Explosiv. Der kids-course Kurs is meant for kids who want to learn how to share the gospel to other kids in a creative way.
I (Monika) visited the Kids-EE-Trainercourse in Freiburg, and I was excited to use it in Albania. It is a great tool here in this “oral culture”. Kid’s EE contains short teachings, sketches and creative items. The kids enjoy performing “dramas” and with all the creativity involved it was easy for them to catch on.


Our first course in Gjirokronekastra
The original group of 8 kids quickly grew to 16. The two main questions of the course were:
-    do you know whether you will spend eternity with God in heaven
-    why would God let you into heaven?
The kids initial answer to question 1 was: maybe or no; even believing kids did not have any assurance of salvation.
At the end of the course some kids answered the question with a smile
bastel
on their face with a clear “PO” (Yes). They had learned that heaven is a present from God that you can’t achieve yourself and they now knew bibleverses stating that truth. We did an outreach in the local old peoples home doing dramas and explaining their meaning.
The co-workers were so excited that they used some of the dramas in the villages and our easter service and the kids could share the gospel with others.



Testimony:
Niko (6) shared with his friends about what he learned; in the neighbourhood you could hear the kids shout the words: heaven, man, God and other keywords from the course.
Kristina the leader from Nehemia Gjirokastra mentioned that she knows now much better how to explain salvation to kids; now she also has creative ideas how to share the gospel; she would like to do a trainers course so that she can do Kids EE in the villages.

Our next step?
We would like to do a course in Memaliaj this autumn. In order to train trainers, Monika would like to get a certificate as a Kids EE teacher next February in Freiburg, this way Albanian co-workers in Albania could be trained to do the course themselves with kids in their towns.
