Creative ministry programs can be successful without being expensive! If finding equipment or supplies poses a challenge, try any or all of these four ways to creatively acquire things that will get the job done:

Ask your congregation to loan their portable CD players, television, and DVD player. Music and video will enhance any program, capture the attention of kids, and create a fun learning environment.
Call a neighboring church that might have equipment available. You might be surprised at the stuff sitting idle in storage areas.
Nearby high schools or community theater groups may be able to help with large group program prop needs—they have idle stuff, too.
Ask families in your congregation to donate supplies on a list of specific items needed for activity stations, team times, or small group meetings.
