Let the little children come to me,
for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Unless you become as a little child,
you'll never see the Kingdom of God.
Luke 18:17; Mark 10:15

Goal: To revolutionize kids' lives
as disciples of Jesus,
helping them to be passionate
for God in the world.

Dave longs to bless & equip kids to be a revolutionary force in their world! He encourages unbelieving kids to see the "Real Jesus" and helps “church kids” become "Jesus kids".  He calls fence-setters to give up both the bad & the best of their lives to this wonderful Savior! He challenges all kids to be fulltime, 24-7, 100%, JCU disciples and to grow in God's love and walk with Jesus into a hurting world.

Whether in a rally, a children's crusade, a VBS or classroom, Dave's up-beat, hands-on, participatory programs keep young minds engaged and challenged. Dave models an outside-the-box, yet relaxed teaching style that encourages kids, and even other teachers, to dive deeper into the Gift and the gifts of God. 

Dave uses creative object lessons and insightful takes on God's Word to call young minds to be wise in God's ways. Dave tells stories from books, from the news or from his own life. Using his cartooning and song-writing gifts, character skits, video clips and disarming humor he motivates kids to walk in all God created them to be!

About Dave Eden…

Dave visited Prestonwood Christian Academy and ministered to all our children in Pre-K through second grade during morning chapel.  I was impressed watching him pour out his talents and seeing the students interactions as he shared in a fun and meaningful way.

Even the other teachers and the principal were impressed with His presentation and how he used object lessons.  Several of the teachers said “the bar has now been raised for all of us” in the quality expected of them in their own chapel ministry!

I appreciate Dave being a godly man and for being my friend.  We used to serve in the same church and I worked with him and often observed him as he lead our children’s ministry. His enthusiam and creative presentations were always effective. He truly has a talent in reaching children and leading them to our Lord.

After working with children as a professional for the past 26 years, I can say that Dave Eden is the finest children’s pastor I know.  I would recommend His ministry to anyone, anytime.

To Whom It May Concern:

Dave Eden is a very talented man who loves children and children’s ministry.  He has exceptional skills in artistry that include impromptu sketches, wall murals, environmental design, and computer graphics. Dave also is wholeheartedly dedicated to teaching children about the Lord and discipling them into a deeper personal walk with Jesus Christ.  Dave’s creativity is evident by how he incorporates objects and media in multiple ways through his lesson presentation.  Dave is also talented in the area of music.  He is able to write and sing his own songs with the kids and also use a variety of other artist’s songs as well.

I’ve personally been able to see him in a Children’s Church setting with approximately 60 kids.  They were having a great time in the Lord and were engaged in the lesson.  The children were able to go home understanding the point of the lesson and excited about the way they learned it.

I feel that Dave is able to offer skills in the area of environmental design, ministering to a large group of children, or training children’s leaders on new ideas in children’s ministry.
