“The outcomes of Youth Bible Curriculum (YBC) as a teaching process will change not only the level of children and teacher’s understanding of Bible, but through delivering to the children the Word Of God, YBC will bring behavior changes for children and their families and as a result will play very important role for the restoration of Christian faith and moral basics of the country. Another uniqueness of the project is that, because of the 70 years of the atheistic period children now became the ambassadors, who are delivering god news of the Gospel to their parents, who unfortunately didn’t had an opportunity to learn Bible on early ages.”
