King Xerxes was a bit of a show off. He liked to boast in his beautiful things so much so that he put on an exhibition for six months to display it all. At the end of the exhibition king Xes threw a party to celebrate his fabulous empire. He also wanted to show off his queen. Unfortunately, queen Vashti refused to come and zees got so angry.
He banned her from his presence. This meant that the king had to find himself a new queen, a beautiful young Jewish girl named Esther lived in the palace grounds. She was raised by her uncle Mordecai. Esther was presented to one of the King's assistants and he grew a liking to her after a long time of special treatment ES.
Presented to the king who swiftly fell in love with her and made her queen. Sometime later, Esther's uncle Mordecai got into a bit of trouble. The king ordered that everyone must bow down to his second in command Haman, but Mordecai chose not to. And that made Haman very upset. In fact, Haman got so angry.
He determined to work out a way to not only get rid of Mordecai, but all Jews in the kingdom. He presented his case to the king and the king told him to do whatever he wanted, especially if he was gonna pay for it with his own money word, got out among the Jewish people and they wept and wailed. Once Esther heard the plants, she was determined to do whatever she could to change the fate of her people.
She arranged for a beautiful dinner to be set up for the king and Haman at the dinner king Xie asked Esther to tell him whatever she wanted and he would give it. Her Esther simply responded by asking if the king would dine with her. Again, the following day, he agreed that evening at dinner, Esther presented her case and asked the king to look after the Jews, her people, she explained what Haman planned to do to both Mordecai and the Jews and the king was mortified so much so that he arranged for Haman to be killed.
It took a lot of bravery for Esther to approach the king the way she. But because she had earned his favor, the king had ears to hear what she had to say. Esther and Mordecai ended up becoming heroes to their people, the Jews throughout the Bible, God worked through ordinary and unlikely people in incredible ways.

Engaging children of this generation in worship - - Building the lives of children all over the globe.
We believe that teaching children to love God and others takes place in both the home and in the church. For this reason, we seek to partner with parents (the greatest teachers of all!) and with church pastors and leaders, equipping them with great resources. Through fun experiences, meaningful music and ministry that encourages kids to participate, we present Jesus Christ and His Church in a relevant way, creating moments that children will never forget.
Anyone can do what we do. The simple key is to love God, love His Church and have fun!
