Seven Secrets of Affectionate Childrens Ministries Leaders-

They pray for wisdom to see each child through Jesus eyes,

They write loving notes to their students

They discover each childs special interest and talk about it

They place their childrens pictures on the refrigerator.They make simple presents for each child.

They are huggers. E&elyn 3mana
