“Once you practice this, you can show it to many different ages while reciting it out loud. I have used it with ages from 7 to 14. Each child wants to see me do it over and over again until they learn it and each time, I recite John 3:16 out loud. Then I say, “Would you like to try it?”, the can’t wait for that moment. I usually have to show them again one or two more times, but that just gives me more opportunity to recite the verse again!” – Joy

God doesn’t want any of us to perish. He wants us to be with him in heaven forever.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain.
Rom 3:23
Everyone has sinned and fallen short of God’s glorious standard.

The payment for sin is death. But God gives us the free gift of life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Cor 15:3
Christ died for our sins.

But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done.
Sample Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for loving me. I know that I have sinned. I have done things that are wrong. I believe that you died on the cross to pay the price for my sins. Please forgive all of my sins. Please come into my life and help me turn away from doing wrong. Thank you that because you paid the price for my sins, I can have a relationship with you and will one day be with you in heaven.

We used this for our VBS to encourage the kids to learn John 3:16. The kids loved learning to flip the books and they all learned the verse. Who can say what fruit the Lord will reap as a result of a little tool.
They were difficult to use for the parents even after looking at the video. They came to us constructed and several of the parents ended up tearing the tool to try to get it to work. We will not order this one again.
It really captured the Children’s attention and made a great closure after I shared the story of the Prodigal Son on Betty Lukens Felt Board.
The pictures on the packs I received do not line up the way they do on the demo. Even after watching the video and talking to the lady on the phone they do not work. I wanted to give them out with the candy for trick of treat, but the kids would not know what to do with them.
I love the idea.. We use gospel flipper flapeprs for Good News Club. I bought these to pass out to the people who come to our food pantry. They are super hard to figure out and the edges get stuck and you have to pull on it so hard you think you are going to rip it. Each one does NOT come with directions so I am not sure the people rcvng it in their grocey bag will have the patience to try to figure it out. I actually made sure I used EACH of the 50 flip puzzles first so they would be a LITTLE easier for the person who rcvs it. I would say…..maybe this is better if you us it in your sunday school and show each child in front of the class how it is used but….not sure its the best thing for a food pantry bag stuffer.
We used this to teach our VBS kids John 3:16. I’m not sure what translation is used, but even the kids who knew the verse in another translation were able to remember this version. Good teaching tool.
Once you practice this, you can show it to many different ages while reciting it out loud. I have used it with ages from 7 to 14. Each child wants to see me do it over and over again until they learn it and each time, I recite John 3:16 out loud. Then I say, “Would you like to try it?”, the can’t wait for that moment. I usually have to show them again one or two more times, but that just gives me more opportunity to recite the verse again!
I teach an after school Good News Club. One of our verses last semester was John 3:16. What an interest grabber and memory tool to send home with the children. Thanks.
The FlipAbout is attractive and engaging. It takes a few minutes to soften the creases before using so that it flips easily. Once it has been folded once, it is very easy to use. Like the buttons FlipAbout, I love the simplicity of the gospel visual–starting with Scripture is always a great foundation! Thanks for another super product.
Great new way to engage kids with the Gospel message. It was a little tricky to figure out at first, but the instructions are excellent and walk you through each step. I am very impressed with these new resources. Keep up the great work!
