12 Years of Children Lessons, but…

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 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.

It is the great desire of iVangeli in partnership with Gospel Light Worldwide to promote the idea of children’s ministry to uninformed churches throughout this region.

The Work is not done and the NEED still persist.

We have recruited some people to translate the books into Afrikaans and this is almost complete. Afrikaans is the second most widely spoken language in South Africa. So we are hoping to launch the Afrikaans material soon and bring on board the Afrikaans churches with the 12 years of curriculum in their language.

We endeavor  to make the curriculum available for the impoverished churches. Please consider joining Gospel Light Worldwide with funding the translating, contextualization, printing and distribution of this vital, life changing curriculum.

So to this end we request the amount of R240 000. ($30,000)

The breakdown:

• $12,000 for printing of new children’s curriculum
• $ 7,000 for translators
• $ 7,000 for proofing/editing
• $ 4,000 for training

iVangeli Curriculum is becoming  the largest most well known curriculum in South Africa. Many churches across our borders have requested material so we would like to increase our range throughout Africa.

Please consider joining the adventure of reaching “One Million Children” in Africa of  what was called ‘The Dark Continent” with ‘The Light of the World.”
