Uganda Scripture Poster Project
In this series of 30 minute lessons, children will create and colour Scripture posters, as awards for Ugandan children who are learning to read in the language they speak at home with their parents. In Uganda and many other countries, children speak one language at home and another language at school. This project will encourage Ugandan children to become literate in their mother tongue. When the children reach an educational milestone, they will receive one of these Scripture posters. Furthermore, hanging these Scripture verse posters on a wall in their home will instil a sense of accomplishment in new readers, cement God’s Word in their hearts each time they read it, and allow them to share God’s Word with family and guests who visit them. Preparation for this project takes two people about 30 minutes each, or one person about one hour. This project is a great way for children to help children (and their families) by using a skill they possess right now—colouring! We hope that you and your children or children’s group enjoy this project of beautifying homes and hearts with God’s Word.

The Jesus Messiah Picture Book |
More about the Messiah Picture Book JMPB was recently distributed among the Idaasha people of Benin. The word "idaasha" means "people of the 41 hills". Back in the 1700's and 1800's, these people hid themselves on top of a series of mountains in southern Benin in order to escape from those who would capture them and sell them as slaves to colonial powers. When slavery was banished, they moved down from the mountain tops and established villages in the valleys below. The cost of a JMPB is currently set at $2. There is an effort to try and subsidize it so that it would be cheaper for those who live in villages away from cities. The Bible study guide is $2.50.

Yes, children have a lot to give right now, before they grow up! They can learn to pray for, learn about and even serve children in Senegal. As an optional activity, your children can help a Senegalese child learn to read so that they will be able to read the Bible and experience God’s great love. (A $6/month donation will provide the funds needed for this part of the project and makes a perfect giving project for kids.
Many kids love to express themselves with pens, pencils, crayons and markers. The Uganda Scripture Poster Project gives them an opportunity to colour and encourage kids in Africa at the same time. 
This high quality, full-colour pictorial representation of the life of Christ, with accompanying text, is helping people in the African countries of Benin and Togo to understand the Word of God. Your financial help is needed to get this book into the hands of women and children in these countries, so they can improve their literacy skills and gain a better understanding of the gospel. 
understand!" Having good pictures along with biblical text communicates a powerful message to those who don't have very much to read in their own language. For many who won't read otherwise, they will pick up the picture book and spend time trying to read it.
