Biblical Worldview

Each real world issue is taught starting with the Bible, because we believe that understanding God's heart is paramount to developing a lifestyle of compassion. Each unit includes devotions to help kids understand the heart of God and grow closer to Him.

REFUGEES UNIT

Student Notebook and Instructor Guide in one!

​

With so many refugees and controversy in the world today, it's important that we start with one question: What does God say? In this unit, middle and high school students dig into the Bible to see what God has to say about foreigners, from the law to Jesus Himself. Then they choose from a wide-range of books, including many first hand accounts, to gain a deeper understanding into why people flee their homes, how their lives are affected, and what our role is as God's people. This unit is recommended for middle school and early high school students. It can be adapted for older high school students. Great for homeschooling families, independent study, co-ops/small groups, and classrooms.
