Origami And Folded Paper | Origami And Folded Paper Guide

Let's face it: most tracts that people hand out are not even read. That may now change.

Two North Carolina pastors have found a new way to share the Christian faith with kids. Unlike the stuffy tracts of the past, these fun cards will delight kids of all ages.

Memory Cross is a four panel interactive card that is designed origami style. They unfold to reveal selected bible verses. They are targeted for children ages 4-13 and use colorful graphics to attract the attention of both children and adults.

The creator, Pastor Andy Lambert, originally intended them to be used in children's sermons to tell bible stories. He was searching for a tool that would help capture the attention of the children and help them to memorize verses. Because he couldn't locate anything that met this need, he teamed up with another pastor and the owner of a printing business to create what are now known as Memory Cross cards.

Despite the original intention, there is yet another use. Because kids love the way the card flips around, they play with them until they have memorized God's word. That makes it a great evangelism tool. Even timid kids will love to pass them out to their friends.

So now we have three choices. As Christians, we can do nothing; we can keep passing out tracts that people will never read; or we can find products like Memory Cross that introduce Christ to people in a fun new way.

Tired of the same old Easter craft ideas? Instead of searching all over looking for unique Easter craft ideas for your Christian school, Sunday school, or Christian kids clubs, you may want to consider Memory Cross Easter Coloring cards!

A Memory Cross is a four panel interactive card that is designed origami style. They unfold to reveal selected bible verses. Most are bright and colorful and are used to share the gospel and aide in Scripture memorization.

However, for Easter, they have a product that is designed to fold like the originals, but look more like coloring book pages. It uses select bible verses to tell the Easter story. Kids will love coloring them and after they are done will still enjoy flipping their creation around to show off the Easter story to others.

The first panel displays Jesus on a donkey on Palm Sunday and the final panel shows the His Resurrection. Even younger children, who may not be able to read the panels yet, can still use this craft to remind them of the Easter story so they can tell it again and again.

After Easter, you can try the regular card styles. They are designed so that if the children use the cards on a regular basis, they could learn 52 bible verses a year.

Don't be surprised to find that starting a unique craft may lead to a church full of kids with heads full of verses!
