95380, 209-668-8734--mission curriculum for children for 4 Sundays. Covers what

Sunday Schools ran the "Kids Cruise the Globe" curriculum during my
local church's mission month this year, and I heard from my wife, Paula, that
the last two videos in the set were much more engaging than the first two. I
think that the personality and mission knowledge of the teacher would be
important to making this curriculum come alive.

"10/40 Window Video for Children" “Prayer and Fasting for Kids” and
"Prayerwalking for Kids"
Joey and Fawn Parish, 540 W. Highland Dr., Camarillo, CA 93010 or email . This
video exposes children to the 10/40 Window at their level. REVIEW From:
NateWilson@XC.org I've seen the Parrish's videos (10/40 window for Children and
Prayerwalking for Kids) and was amazed at how sharp and professional they
looked--I was proud to see that Christians could put out graphics a good as
anything MTV or Nickelodeon ever did! The Prayerwalking one, however, seemed
really strange to me until I figured out why--there were no words on the screen
because it's for children, who may be too young to read, and the video shots
were from a kids-eye view--Brilliant!

VIDEO: All The
Little Children
Dan & Pauline Sutton, 301 Redwood St., Birmingham, AL
35210
REVIEW From: NateWilson@XC.org I remember watching the Sutton's videos at camp
many years ago and really liking them, but they may be a little slow-moving for
older kids.
Video: Santosa's
Story
I just watched this video last week. It's for YOUNG
children, but is very well-produced. It tells about the life of the Quetchua
Indians, clearly communicating concepts regarding Bible translation and
literacy. It's about 15 minutes long and is sub-divided into several shorter
segments. Although Mission To The World produced it, the video does not promote
any particular missionary or agency. Write MTW for more information: P.O. Box
29765, Atlanta, GA 30359.
