Believer's Voice of Victory magazine. A year later, in May 1994, Shout! e Voice of Victory for Kids magazine debuted, growing from 5,000 subscriptions to more than 150,000 when its last issue was distributed in 2006. For more than a decade, Shout! not only won awards, it also brought the Word of God to tens of thousands of children on a regular basis. W hen its r un was complete, funds for Shout! were funneled to other children's ministry projects.

In partnership with Dana Johnson Ministries for more than 20 years, Superkid Academy has been part of major KCM meetings for years, and has become a regular fixture at Eagle Mountain International Church. For all these efforts, what has been the result? " Years ago when we star ted this Superkid Academy theme, it was just an idea," said Kellie. "But what has happened is that we now have rea l Superk ids—even adult Superk ids— who know the Word and really have it down in their hearts; they know how to use their faith and what to do when things are hard or when they are in need. ey know to go to God, because He is their Source." Partnering With You On a consistent basis, with the latest technology and developments, we need to prepare our children for what's out there—prepare them to take a stand against the kingdom of darkness so they don't become another tragic statistic.
