COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado—Compassion International and International Bible Society (IBS) have launched a four-year children’s Bible-reading initiative, called Aventuras biblicas, to effectively present God’s Word to children registered in Compassion’s sponsorship programs in Latin America. More than 100,000 children, ages 5-7, in 10 Latin American countries will participate in the program.
“The goal of Compassion’s ministry is to release children from poverty and enable them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults. Equipping children at a young age with an understanding of the Bible is an excellent foundational step in nurturing their relationship with God,” said Dr. Wess Stafford, President and CEO of Compassion International. “Aventuras biblicas creatively introduces children to the most important resource of Scripture knowledge.”
Aventuras biblicas, the monthly reader, was developed by IBS in partnership with Compassion International. Each issue features a selected Bible story and study aids that include questions, activities, and games. This engaging piece also provides a family activity and a story of another Compassion child in a different part of the world. The readers are generally used in classroom settings, with leaders from Compassion’s church partners facilitating the lessons.
IBS President Peter Bradley said, “Reaching children with the Word of God is a ministry priority for IBS. We are eager to share Aventuras biblicas with children in need throughout Latin America. Children participating in Compassion’s program will now be able to learn the Bible’s story of God’s continuing love and share it with their families.”
Compassion International is one of the nation’s largest child development organizations, working with more than 65 denominations and many indigenous church partners in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Since 1952, Compassion has touched the lives of more than a million children. For information about sponsoring a child, contact Compassion via its web site at http://www.compassion.com or by calling (800) 336-7676, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., MT.
