"Anna Martin has been at the forefront of ministry to children and their families for many years. I have recently come across her 'Bible Buds' project for pre-schoolers and their parents/carers which is such a brilliant resource to ensure we are not just running wonderful community activities but also presenting clearly the God we love in an engaging and exciting way. It is an exceptional resource that will allow our activities not just bless our communities, but instead see them transformed.

But it is not the only resource that Anna has had involvement in. Anna worked with me when I was part of the New Wine Trust and she developed a range of outstanding curriculum for pre-school and primary school children under the heading of 'X-Cavate'. This three book series has been widely used and is highly effective at communicating the gospel.

Alongside this, as the Holy Spirit began to draw our attention to the importance of focusing on families, Anna produced 'HomeTime', a practical resource that explored the keys to great parenting, including interviews of significant leaders from across the world who talk openly and honestly about their successes as parents and also the areas they wished they’d done differently. It is an exercise in vulnerability and openness and as such is a valuable addition to her work.

I highly commend Anna to you. The curriculum she has already produced is incredible, but I am sure that there are many resources yet to come."

"We commissioned Anna in 2018 to undertake some research into the opportunity toddler groups offer churches across the UK for sharing the good news of Jesus. Following the research we asked her to develop a resource which was suitable to meet the demand exposed through the research. She created Bible Buds. A year round resource for toddler groups to use. She has awesome creativity, innovation, imagination. Bible Buds is full of great stories about Jesus, all accessible to toddlers, themed to line up with calendar events, craft, fun, food, mission and other ideas. It's all generated through the lens of three fantastic characters, Mr Bible, Bertie Badger and Betsie Bear. She's created some brilliant songs to accompany the resource too. We were delighted with the finished resource (books and videos) and were pleased that Spring Harvest used the videos as part of their @Home online resources made available during 2020. Anna was a real pleasure to work with. God has gifted her in so many ways and is helping her use those talents to good effect and for His purposes in our generation."

"As part of her role for Kidz Klub Coventry, Anna Martin has written several of our termly programmes (for primary aged children), including the games and fun element as well as the bible input. Her creativity and skill in creating material relevant to the children is astonishing. Our children have responded and learnt so much from her material. During lockdown, Anna has also produced teaching (and games) videos for the children we work with, which have been clear, well communicated and visually appealing. Her role has also involved delivering training and inspirational input for our team of volunteers, which she has done with great enthusiasm and skill. Anna also has written and delivered sessions for our teenage helpers, proving her ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of ages. I would not hesitate to recommend Anna Martin to help you with any element of children’s ministry."
