[Equipping Workshop] Biblical Literacy: Helping Children Read, Understand and Apply Scriptures (26 Apr)

[PLEASE SIGN UP AT BIT.LY/BIBLE26APR] 
This page is only for information.

Very often, one of the key objectives in Sunday School and Children's Ministry is to get children to read their bibles regularly. However, the ability to read the bible in a language they understand does not automatically translate to biblical literacy. Just like adults, children need to be equipped with the tools to read God's word correctly; understand it clearly; and apply it contextually.

This seminar is specially designed to help children's ministry leaders and teachers, as well as parents and even grandparents, to develop a simple, robust, child-friendly framework for reading the bible. It will also serve as a reminder for the teachers and parents of the need to do the same in their own reading of scripture, so that we can pass on information about God to our children in ways that are faithful to Scripture and helpful for healthy spiritual development.

Dr Peter Ho, Dean of School of Theology (English) at the Singapore Bible College, will be the keynote speaker. For the second half of the seminar, Elvin and Esther Foong, the Founders and Principal Trainers at Kidmin Singapore will take participants through some practical ways that they can help children approach the Bible in a way that is faithful to the text and relevant to their context. They will be sharing a helpful framework that anyone can use when preparing to teach the Bible to kids, or even for personal Bible study.

The details are as follows:
