Free Sunday School Curriculum Now Available

"The Children of Egypt" is a perfect way to remember Egypt's children on Nov. 12 - The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.

El Cajon, Calif. - What is it like to be a Christian child in Egypt?

Children in churches across America will now find a fun and thought-provoking way to explore the answer to this question with our free Sunday-school lesson plan for ages 6 to 12. Written by an professional writer and experienced home educator who is familiar with issues of persecution in the Middle East, this lesson plan is a perfect way to enrich children's understanding of God's grace, as seen through the eyes of children in Egypt.

Many times, children are the first to become enthusiastically inspired as a result of being introduced to their courageous brothers and sisters overseas.

The material, suitable for a Sunday-school class or even a children's church, is a gentle, age-appropriate way to introduce a child to the idea of what it means to be a faithful Christian in a place where our own human strength may fail, yet God's grace is sufficient.

Children will hear the story of Samira, an Egyptian girl who went to church and worked hard to be a good person. She memorized Bible verses, and was a member of the church choir, but one day she met a Muslim named Ahmed. He feigned an interest in becoming a Christian so he could trick Samira.

Through this experience, Samira discovered God's wonderful mercy, and so did Ahmed.

Teachers who use this lesson plan may discover God blessing a child with a burden to pray for and intercede for other Christian children. This free lesson plan encourages hands-on involvement with activities and a coin-collecting project for God's little 'Egyptian Lambs.'

There are millions of Christians in Egypt, but there are no Christian magazines for Egypt's children, and this project invites American children to help. To download a free copy, click here, or visit The Last Harvest Website: www.thelastharvest.com.
