12 Years of Newly Completed Lessons

The Children’s Ministry That Could Change a Nation

In partnership with the South Africa National Sunday School Association and a local team of translators, editors and artists, we have just completed our children’s Bible curriculum specifically to the South African culture and promote it under the name of “iVangeli.”

This culturally sensitive version was first written in English, then immediately translated into the Zulu, Xhosa and Afrikaans languages to serve both the black and white communities.

Churches appreciate the local flavor of iVangeli, curriculum developed and produced in South Africa. Being locally produced means the lessons are culturally relevant to South African children.

Unfortunately, there are still thousands of churches that have not even considered using curriculum of any kind as Sunday School is seen as a baby-sitting service and not a teaching opportunity. Local leaders are just beginning to promote the true value of children’s ministry.

Our focus in 2008 will be to promote the idea of children’s ministry to uninformed churches. What a mighty mission and vision! It is with great joy that we complete this last year of curriculum development. Praise the Lord!

After three and a half years of attempting to create their own curriculum, the Salvation Army of South Africa has endorsed iVangeli as their approved curriculum and is currently exploring other partnership opportunities with us.

A 2009  South Africa Partner Briefing is available upon request -$100 will provide 10 South African churches with regular Christian Bible lessons for children.
