This tool is a set of 32 full color photos printed on heavy card stock of real children expressing different emotions. Unlike cartoon facial cards that are designed to help children to identify or name what they feel, these photos are designed to help children to connect with what they feel. During a Theophostic Prayer Ministry session, it is not so important a person be able to name his or her emotion but it is crucial that he or she connects to and feels what they feel. The emotion is the bridge back to the belief. Without the emotional bridge the person cannot identify the lie at the root of the emotion pain.

The idea for developing this tool photos was born from out of Dr. Ed Smith facilitating live ministry session demonstrations. The people in the audiences consistently and predictable became emotionally stirred themselves as they watched the ministry sessions where people were expressing emotional pain. The pain being expressed by the one receiving ministry triggered the pain in those watching. He assumed that children would be no different and after field testing the photos with many ministry facilitators working with children the reports seemed to suggest the photos were effective.

An interesting and surprising outcome from the field testing was that some of the facilitators tried using the cards with adults and got similar results.

There is no guarantee that these photos will be helpful in all cases but there is hope that they will be helpful for some of those who have difficulty connecting with what they feel.

Each photo in the 32 picture set has an identifying number for reference identification. An instructional sheet explains the proper use of the photos.

You are encouraged to laminate your pictures to extend their life.
