"I showed the 1st episode to my 3 - 4 years old audience on Sunday; you could actually hear
them breathing. The room went completely silent and quiet all through the video. There was not a pip or sound in the auditorium. Normally,
the class is riotous with 40 to 50 under 5 year olds, but on Sunday (after the normal worship in the class), when I showed the DVD -
It was a marvellous revelation. The Children were all captured in awe of the quality, the sound, the story line and the beauty.
They related so easily with Macky, Portia, Rebecca, the Leah, and the Parrot, Pontius. At the end of the first scene, a loud scream came out
from all of them at once asking for more. The DVDs have got my group asking unbelievably mature questions about God and Jesus. It has
brought a thirst for knowledge that i have never seen its precedence before. "

Friends
and Heroes has created a series of Bible Lessons with two
lessons for most episodes - each lesson based on one
of the episode's Bible stories and themes. Ideal for most children's
ministry situations, these lesson plans are provided as free downloads
for all those who hold a Friends and Heroes Public Display Licence.
Children's Ministry Leaders may also find much of the material on our
children's website to be
extremely useful in their groups. We have produced a special
Leaders' Leaflet about the Friends and
Heroes material - why not pass this on to your fellow-leaders to introduce them to the lessons? You can download a copy here:
We have created a special page for leaders to print
which provides 'business-card' sized invitations for children to
visit our children's website. There is so much more for children to do
after a session when they go to our website - including reading or
listening to many of the Bible stories in Friends and Heroes!
The file can be printed on any white card but
will also work with the special Business Card perforated sheets which
you can purchase at most stationers. You can download a copy here:
A sample
lesson is available to help you to consider how you might use our Friends
and Heroes Bible Lessons in your Sunday/Sabbath School, Bible Club or
Holiday Club (please don't use this sample in your group unless you have
obtained the Friends and Heroes DVD, along with a Public Display
Licence):
These free lessons are provided in Adobe's PDF format and you will need
to install the free Adobe Reader software (Version 8.0 or later) to view and print them.
You can download Adobe Reader here:
You can view and print the lists of Bible stories in all three series of Friends and Heroes here.
If you have obtained a Public
Display Licence from Friends and Heroes, you will have been given a
private User Name and Password in order to access the Bible
Lesson materials - and your licence permits you to reproduce these
materials for use in your group - for as long as you continue to hold
the Public Display Licence.
You can access the Bible Lessons using

"I am still using
the first and second series and will soon be purchasing the
third. The children absolutely love the episodes and I love the
ideas that are given in the teaching lesson plans. I truly am
grateful for people like yourselves as these resources help make
the Bible so much more alive for the children and with all that
the world has to offer children today, it is so important that
we as a Church, can stay relevant and exciting! May the Lord
richly bless you all as you seek to reach more children (and
adults) with God's Word. Many blessings."

"Although we
have not yet watched all the DVDs, those we have were greatly
enjoyed by our youngsters (aged 3-10 years) and I have found the
lessons to go with them very good and easy to use. We all look
forward to watching the whole series over a period of time and I
am sure that they will continue to be used for many years to
come."
