Join us this week as we hear stories, read stories, and make a new story of our own by helping our Global Community!
You will find everything here and on our Social Media. Each day we will post new content for you to hear and learn from with your family. You choose when you want to watch them and do the activities! Start with a morning devotion, listen to a Storybook Time, read our daily advocacy information, or end your evening listening to the Power of Story Time and hear from members of our community.

Red marker
Plastic Bandages
Pens
What To Do:
Have your family form a circle, and place the map in the middle of the circle. Look at the map and briefly talk about places you have traveled or have learned about. Use a red marker to put a dot on each country or area you mention.
Distribute plastic bandages and pens. Have each person draw a heart on bandage and stick it on one of the countries or areas you talked about. Say “Sending God’s Love to you” as you stick it on the area.
Pray Together:
Dear God, Help us to learn new things, to explore the world together and to play and be happy. Help us to have love for each other, to build kindness into every day, and to always remember God loves us all. Amen.
