What customers are saying:

"Our church has been greatly blessed through the Outside the Lines curriculum. We've used the curriculum in our Wednesday evening missions emphasis children's programming. We have mixed classes 1st – 5th graders and encourage parents to attend with their children and take an active role in their discipleship. Outside the Lines received a strong, positive response from our kids and families. Especially helpful is that the kids aren't doing any one activity for longer than 25 minutes. Movement and variety has proved to be a good thing for our kids! As a result of being in the class, one elementary-aged girl told her father that this year for Christmas all the presents didn’t need to be just for her, but she needed to give some of her presents away to the lost/ poor." Jordan Anderson, The Church at Brook Hills, Birmingham, AL.

"Our church used the curriculum alongside an adult Perspectives class. … Our prayer times were particularly special. It was incredible to watch our kids (especially our older boys) spend 10-15 minutes in prayer – on their own, or with their peers. God used the curriculum to touch and change hearts, and it was a pleasure to teach. The feedback we received from the parents was phenomenal. Our parents loved the way they could interact and discuss what they were covering with their kids. We heard several stories of deep discussions on the way home from Perspectives." Brendan Yost, Mountainview Community Christian Church, Highlands Ranch, CO.

"I am a mom of four – homeschooling, and loving Jesus. It is so hard to find true BIBLE study for kids. I love this and praise God for the impact it is having on our family already! Thank you!! Praise God for your ministry holding TRUE to God's Word and HIS purpose!!" Julie Ayer.
