When we hand down the faith, we watch for those unplanned opportunities to connect life with God, His Word and how we are able to know and walk with Him. But, we also need to plan opportunities to do these things in a very intentional and purposeful way as well. Handing down the faith tends to be something which we look forward to doing and enjoy, or something which leaves us feeling confused and unable to do effectively. Well, no matter which of these describes you, I am very happy today to let you know about a resource which gives you 52 lessons, complete with science projects, crafts and cooking activities to engage the children you love while also helping them learn about real people from the Bible, how those Bible people chose to walk with God and how they are able to do the same. This resource is called Generations Quest Cultivate the Faith!
Each lesson will have you discovering more about real people in the Bible and how they chose to love, know and follow God. You will learn to pray Scripture and be encouraged to keep a prayer journal - the children you love will learn to keep a prayer journal. You will also find information to help you with the "whys" - why we are able to believe in God and trust the Bible with confidence. There will be lots of time and ideas for fun - great way to build memories together.
You will even be able to use Generations Quest - Cultivate the Faith! if your grandchildren live far; just send them the supplies they will need, arrange with their parents a time to connect over the phone or facetime/google hangouts and you will be able to do these lessons and projects "together" as you hand down the faith across the miles.
So, what are others saying about Science, the Bible & Fun? Look at the following . . .

Well presented, too." Cathy Jacobs: Mom of three, Grandma of four, Director of Pass the Legacy & Author of Seven Keys for Godly Grandparenting
“I haven't been able to personally use these materials with my own children (who are grown) or granddaughter (she is far away and is only four months old), but I can see the lessons in Generations Quest Cultivate the Faith! being very valuable for homeschool families, parents and grandparents to use as they lead their children to a deeper relationships with Jesus. Using the Psalms along with other stories of the Bible and connecting them to a child's prayers to God is great. These lessons could be adapted for use in a church setting as well. I would love to share some of the science experiment/object lessons with the children at my church." Karen Watkins; Mom of two, Grandma of one & Children’s Ministry Coordinator at North Brook Fellowship
