Creating and publishing contextualized Bolivian Methodist Children's Sunday School Curriculum

Annual Goal: $17,439.18

Year to Date Gifts: $6,500.00

The cost of the workshop and printing of materials is funded by this Advance Project. If we could increase the amount of funding, we could provide district children's ministry workshops. As well as provide enough materials so that each child would have materials to use and take home. Being able to take the materials and drawings home would have a huge impact on the families particularly in rural areas. These adobe homes are often drab and colorless. To be able to stick on the wall a drawing by your child of a Bible Story would be and important event for the families. We cannot do that at this time because we cannot afford to produce one student book per student.

To strengthen the ministry with children and adolescents, obtaining a significant growth of the ministry of the Christian formation, in each one of the local churches with the support of the national pastors and teachers from Sunday school. To train teachers through seminaries, courses, and workshops for Sunday school and regular schools. To make and to produce biblical guides, books for teachers, children, and adolescents, and local churches. To train 150 Sunday school teachers. To organize courses and workshops for teachers at district and national levels. To make 900 guides for the teachers and 10,000 printed units of biblical books for the age of 4-14 years old and 5,000 photocopies for the other ages annually.

To provide enough materials so that each child receives a Sunday Schools materials so that they can read, color and take materials home to share with their families. Currently we only provide one per class. With increased number of children in Sunday school, we hope to experience additional church growth and spiritual growth for this young people.
