Elf-on-the-Shelf vs. Bear-for-Prayer – Which Would You Rather Have For Your Child?

Is it time to say goodbye to the Christmas tradition, “Elf On The Shelf” and instead teach your children about prayer?
In many homes, Elf on the Shelf has become a recent Christmas tradition where a special helper enters your home from the North Pole to encourage kids to behave themselves. The story told to children is that the elf sits in the home and watches the children by day, and each night it returns to the North Pole to report on whether they were naughty or nice. Every morning when children wake up, they can see that the elf is in a different place than the day before after his journey to the north – giving credence to the story.
Is it time to change that tradition?
The Elf On The Shelf encourages children to behave out of fear of being watched by a creepy doll, but BTJ has a replacement which replaces fear with hope.
BTJ has a special Prayer Bear that reminds children to pray for the persecuted church. The Prayer Bear is a daily reminder for our children that there is a loving God who is alive and powerful. He has the power to deliver His persecuted children from the hands of those who want to bring them harm. The BTJ Prayer Bear doesn’t tell on you for the bad things you do, but is a simple reminder to pray to a loving God to protect His children living in countries where they are persecuted for their faith.
Today is the best time for replacing that menacing, tattle-tale Elf-on-the-shelf with a BTJ Prayer Bear because we have an OVERSTOCK.
Right now, for only a few days longer, you can make the change from Elf-on-the-shelf to the BTJ Prayer Bear, save a lot of money, and be a blessing to the underground house church.
Here is how: a factory made, corporate designed Elf-on-the-shelf will cost you more than 400% of what you will pay for a BTJ Prayer Bear that is handmade by underprivileged women in Iraq who were displaced by ISIS. Who knows where your money goes when you spend it on Elf-on-the-shelf, but when you purchase a BTJ Prayer Bear – EVERY PENNY GOES TO MISSIONS.
First, your money goes to help the women in Iraq who made the bear by hand. The name of the woman who made it, is written on a tag attached to the bear.
In addition, any money that does not go to the women in Iraq goes to the mission field to help the BTJ missionaries sent by the underground house church in China.
The BTJ Prayer Bear is not a Communist agent sent to watch the behavior of your children like the Elf-on-the-shelf, but is modeled after FuFu – the main character of the BTJ children’s books series ‘Tales in Fufu’s Forest’. FuFu is the Chinese word for double blessing; a word used by many Christians in China (福福). Each Prayer Bear is a reminder to pray for the persecuted Christians who put their lives on the line to preach the Gospel to the lost people of the world.
