| Sarah and Abraham’s promise from God was quite literally written in a star, and this paper craft commemorates that by turning stars into babies. Quick to prepare and easy to do, it’s a great craft for the younger children or groups that are very limited by time. |  |
 Today is a guest posts from Jesus Rolan over on Crafting the Word of God. His site is full of creative ideas and well worth adding to your bookmarks. It’s a wonderful blessing to be able to bring you this post from him today. Here he is to explain: |

Hi my name is Jesus and I am the owner of the blog Crafting The Word Of God. On it you will find lots of of Bible crafts, coloring pages and Bible lessons. I have been a follower of Jesus Without Language for quite a while now. Both of our sites have a common goal; to offer free resources to help children’s ministries around the world and I was excited when Kate presented me with the opportunity to guest blog on her site.

| This is a really simple cut and colour in craft. It depicts the first six apostles – James, John, Andrew, Peter, Philip and Nathanael. Theological disclaimer : Johns gospel is ambiguous about the order of the disciples, We know Andrew and one other left John the Baptist, Andrew brought Peter and so there were 3, Philip is called and brings Nathanael. I am assuming John is the mystery disciple and along with him, James. |

Yippee! My first guest post appeared on Frame Creative Childrens Ministry. Head over there to learn about these Nathanael inspired prayer trees.
| For those people more specifically trying to cover Genesis 13 and not the whole story of Lot this second part of the Abram craft may be more appealing. Join it onto the Abram character as shown here or simply make the Lot character on his own. |

| The idea of protection is something with many parallels and symbols, this craft uses the very simple umbrella shape, a protective object that will be familiar to almost every child. Scripture reveals no promise to Lot himself, and yet God repetitively protects him. |  |
| The story of Abram is the root of not only our faith, but many others around the world. The beginning passage however is quite simple, it has a great promise made only in words, without concrete objects or analogies. This craft brings our attention back to the character God chose. |  |
| For the wonderful Carol who requested this on facebook. This is my little nativity scene. It took me about half an hour to make up from scratch and while it’s not robust enough to store from one year to the next it is rather darling. |
