Forever You: What I Do! - Based on the award-winning book Forever You: A Book About Your Soul and Body, this presentation allows children a glimpse into the world of writing, publishing and being an author. Nicole will read Forever You, give an educational presentation about being an author and follow the presentation with a Q & A session. Children will be free to ask questions and engage with the author about her career path, writing history and experiences. This presentation has been used on it’s own and in conjunction with a Creative Writing or English class. Author is also available to walk children through a writing project of the teacher’s choice.

Developing Your God-Given Gifts and Talents - Our most popular presentation. More than 2,000 children have experienced this dynamic presentation. This child-friendly experience encourages children to develop their God-given gifts and talents for the purposes of serving God and others. Children learn through an interactive presentation with a slide show, dress-up costumes, coloring activities, worksheets and in some cases, sample videos. Practicing hard work to reach excellence, recognizing individual strengths and weaknesses (humility), and using our talents to love God and love others are central themes. This presentation allows children to blossom into service-minded adults.

Teaching Kids Forgiveness - Forgiving is one of the most difficult things to do, even for the most faithful Christians. This presentation teaches children to embrace and share the healing power of forgiveness, touching on the topics of grace, anger, contrition, redemption and reconciliation. Children will learn that we do a lot of things right, but when we don’t, God forgives us every time; we are called to forgive others as God forgives us; forgiveness may take time; true friendship has forgiveness; holding grudges hurts us most; and choosing forgiveness brings us peace. Interactive demonstrations, table activities and slides are used. Based on the children’s book, I Forgive You: Love We Can Hear, Ask For and Give.

Teaching Children Modesty - Children are taught the value of respecting God, themselves and others by respecting their bodies. They learn that their bodies are sacred, protecting our bodies can still mean dressing nicely, when we protect what God gave us, we are honoring God and more. Some schools opt to include a chastity component to this presentation for upper elementary grades.

Teacher will receive materials ahead of time to print out for participation during Skype.
