For many years we have dreamed about creating Sunday school curriculum for South Africa. Other companies try to repackage curriculum from the USA or Australia but it isn’t always a good fit. It’s like wearing someone else’s shoes. We have been dreaming of plans and possibilities but realized that to truly write something that fit South Africa we needed South Africans.
Each year our national IAG children’s ministries department gathers all our district CM directors for a time of reporting and planning. We planned to use this time to enlist the help of those we know are passionate about children and understand how to teach them. We presented them with our dream of creating curriculum for South Africa written by South Africans. They loved the idea and we immediately went to work.
The group spent the entire Saturday organizing how the curriculum should look, deciding what should be taught and discussing how to best implement it for all the various languages and cultures of South Africa. Our task is massive but we have confidence it will be accomplished. We know we serve a God who is able to take our efforts and multiply them into something great.
Please pray for this endeavor. The enemy of our souls is already trying hard to stop the work. Pray for wisdom, protection, and creativity as we work. If you want to join us in a bigger way, consider joining us for the first Monday of each month as we fast and pray as a team for the development of this curriculum and the children of South Africa who still need to hear the gospel.
This is just for fun. We found this wonderful little
