A few years ago I started a youth presentation called HistoryMakerz. The idea behind it is simple. We use young people from the Bible to encourage young people of today. In the presentation I tell the stories of people like David and Joseph (Genesis) and Mary to illustrate that these were not superheroes, They were ordinary people who put their lives in the hands of an extraordinary God and that if we will do the same thing God can use us to make a real difference in this world.
Well after some time I am getting the opportunity to present it again and to celebrate I am reworking some of the interactive elements of the presentation. Before each of the messages I try to have some kind of fun activity that brings people up to speed on the story. One of my favorite things to do for this are digital game shows. This is the latest, it’s called Who Said That? and it goes along with the story of David.
Go ahead and play the game and see how you do. All you need to do is click the image above. Please keep in mind this is created to be hosted like a game show so it does not keep score. If you get an answer wrong just go back and try again. Check it out and let me know what you think.
If any of you are in charge of any kind of youth group or conference contact me at amokarts@aol.com perhaps I could come and lead History Makerz at your event. It will be finished and ready to present my November 1, Lord willing. For more on HistoryMakerz go to http://radicallyreal.truepath.com/historymakerz
For those artists who read this, this is just another way to use art to teach biblical truth. How can you use your talent to tell these stories and share God’s message with the Church and the world around you?
Hey Dave, your link isn’t actually working. I’d love to hear about some of your ideas on how you use your art with the youth groups, our church is just starting a youth group and looking for new ideas to bring kids in.
Blessings!
Hi Lauren,
The link went right through or me. go to http://radicallyreal.truepath.com/whosaidthat and try it. As to ways to use art with your youth, that is how a lot of what is now amokarts began. I’d love to discuss that further with you. Let me know what you are looking to accomplish and I wiill give you my best ideas. Unfortunately for this conversation but fortunately for me (lol) I am leaving for vacation in about 24 hours so I will be offline for a while but get a hold of me when I get back next Sunday and I will help you plan.
God bless,
Dave
