The grandparents and parents in your church know God has clearly asked them to hand down the faith. This is their God-given job and great joy. (See Psalm 78:4, 6, 7)If they could receive anything as a gift this year, at the top of their list would absolutely be to have the ones they love make the choice to know, love and walk with God. Well, they can not make the ones they love choose to do this (and neither are we able to do this), but they also do not have to leave it to chance for them to know, love and walk with God.
Handing faith to the ones they love is far, far too important for them to not be focused and purposeful about it, so I'm very happy to let you know about a tool they could use which will engage the ones they love in reading the Bible and provide opportunities for all of them to talk about what they read - since they will be reading the same verses each day and they all will be watching for God's Great Deeds and remembering what He does.
Generations Quest is designed to work with any age of grandchild/child in any location - whether they live near or far. The idea is for them to each read the same few verses and questions about the verses each day. Connect in person, over the phone or on-line a few times a month to talk about what you are reading and to do a activities for preschool age children through college age (also included in the resource) to help the children they love understand what they are reading. It also reminds them all to watch for God's Great Deeds.
Generations Quest is easy to use and is a tool which will connect and engage the generations in handing down the faith and learning about God's Word together. The cost is $10 a year and if grandparents purchase it, they are welcome to share it with all of their adult children and grandchildren! Talk about an extremely affordable resource - it is less expensive than two Happy Meals and will provide them with a year of resources and tools to hand down the faith!
They are able to try a month for free at this link and will be able to learn the complete details about Generations Quest at this link. They may try it for free and get it for their families - the best family Christmas gift ever as they take the generations on a quest together to know, love and follow God!
