- Your child should have a personal journal book to record their TWA. The SJCAC journal book has complete instructions on how to do TWA.
- Encourage your child to do TWA First Thing in the morning. A gentle reminder oftens helps.
- Ask the child to Read the passage aloud.
- Then write or draw their favorite verse, prayer, insights, prophecy/vision on the journal book.
- Pray using the passage. Commit to pray for a person or a world event on a regular basis.
- Spend a few minutes to Listen to God's revelation, then record.
- Memorize a Bible verse from the TWA passage every day.
- At breakfast: The whole family read the passage in Psalms aloud and bless one another using the passage. Parents and children may extend the prayer time on the way to school.
- At dinnertime: The whole family read the passage in Proverbs. Discuss life applications. Each person may share his/her own testimonies or struggles related to the passage. Refrain from preaching or giving too many suggestions to the child. Merely use the passage to pray for one another and intercede for others in need.
- For toddlers who are non-readers: Parents or siblings read the Bible passage. Encourage the child to draw or say a word/phrase from God's revelation. Encourage the child to use the word/phrase/picture to pray. Parents/siblings record his/her prayer.
- For infants: Parents or siblings read the Bible passage for him/her. Lay hand on and bless the child using the passage. Write down your prayer on the child's personal journal book. You'll be amazed how God will bless and shape your child according to your prayers.
Don't expect your child to be perfect when you do the above activities. Remember they are kids... They get tired, distracted at times, just like us...There's always a second chance!
