Glad Tidings Bible Studies For Children in Their Early Youth
Bible study questions for children in their early youth
based on Mailis Janatuinen’s texts and revised by Outi Paukkunen
These questions were revised suitable for children and youngsters by Outi Paukkunen, the youth organiser FLOM, and they were translated from Finnish to English by Helena Rantanen.
The questions in this guide are meant for 10 to 12 -year-old children, but in case of need they can be made use of in the age groups between 7 and 14 years.
The questions have also been tested with boys. The results were encouraging.
Each session should not last more than 40 minutes.
The leader of the study group must guide the conversation more than in adult groups and also state supplementary questions. Yet, he/she should not answer him/herself, but try to make the youngsters answer by themselves.
The leader must give the youngsters time silently to ponder over the answers and he/she should encourage several youngsters to answer each of the question.
The leader can, if he/she feels so, state his/her own ideas and opinions to finish with or bring them up in the final prayer.
We recommend these study groups to be included in congregational club activities. The leaders could be chosen among youngsters over 15 years.
This guide will be updated along with the advancement of the study groups.
