Good News Crayons

This product uses both the box and the crayons to help give the plan of salvation to a child.  The crayons were designed with the idea of conveying information similar to that which would be given using the Wordless Book.  There are five crayons in the box; gold, black, red, white, and green.  Each of these crayons has a verse reference written on the crayon wrapper and the idea of what the color represents as well as a phrase to help talk about that idea.  For instance, the gold crayon has "Heaven" written on the wrapper and the reference "John 3:16a".  It also has on it the phrase "God loves you and wants you to be in Heaven with Him someday."  This crayon is used by asking the child of what the color reminds them.  When they say gold, you are able to tell them of the gold streets in heaven and that John 3:16a says "For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son…" and that this means God loves them and wants them to be able to join Him in heaven someday.  You can have the child draw a golden street of heaven to help them remember.

We next go to the black or "dark" crayon.  This crayon has "Dark with Sin" written on it to remind us that we are all sinners and references the verse "Romans 3:23".  The verse reference allows you to talk about sin and that it keeps us out of heaven.

The red crayon represents Jesus' shed blood and says on the crayon "Jesus gave his blood for you".  The reference associated with this is "1 Corinthians 15:3b & 4".  You are able to explain, using this crayon, that Jesus paid the penalty for our sins when He shed His blood for us on the cross, died and then rose again.

The white or "clean" crayon has "Clean Heart" written on it.  It references "John 1:12" and says that we can become a child of God - It's as easy as A B C.  This is a lead-in to the panel on the back of the crayon box which has the ABC plan of salvation written in it.

Last is the green crayon that has "Grow in Jesus" written on the wrapper.  It references “2 Peter 3:18a” and has written on it "God will help us to grow."  This crayon is used after a child accepts Christ as their personal Savior and lets them know that they are to grow in His Word and to get to know Him better.

With the use of each crayon, you can have the child draw something on a blank piece of paper.  This will help enforce what is being told.   To better help a child understand, you can use The Good News Coloring Book as an additional aid.

On the back of each box is an 1" by 1-1/2" area for inserting the name of your church or organization.

The Good New Crayons are completely safe for children.  They are certified non-toxic and are manufactured by a well-known US manufacturer of children’s crayons.  They are high quality crayons and I believe you will be pleased with their performance.

The Good News Coloring Book uses the same color theme as the Good News Crayons.  There are two pages associated with each color and they reference the same verses as the crayons.  There is text written on each page and a picture to emphasize the particular point in the plan of salvation that is being conveyed.  One of the two pages has a specific item that is to be colored with either the gold, black, red, white or green crayon.  For instance, the pages using the gold crayon asks the child to color the street in heaven with the gold crayon.

After the pages associated with the white color, there is a "Stop Sign" page where the child is asked to decide to pray and accept Jesus "into his heart".  You can use other words such as accept Jesus into his life or similar, but it marks where that decision needs to be made.  After the decision, the child goes to the green page where he or she is then told that they are to "grow" in Christ.

Once you have gone through each of the pages and had the child color the item specified for that color, the child can take the coloring book home to complete the coloring of each of the pages.  This will allow him or her to again read the plan of salvation and maybe share it with their brothers, sisters, friends, or even their parents.

Four additional pages are included (making a total of 16 pages) that use the acronym G.R.O.W. to represent Go to church, Read God's Word, Obey, and Witness.  There is a coloring page for each of these and a verse associated with each. 

The last page in the coloring book is for the child to add his or her name and date of the day they accepted Christ as their personal Savior.

On the back of the coloring book is a 2" by 3" white block area for your church or organization to be stamped.

When used with the Good News Crayons, the combination makes an excellent way to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ using color.  The book will help keep the child's attention by doing, reading, looking, and listening to the person explaining.  By this the child may better be able to understand the plan of salvation and truly receive Jesus Christ.
