Light of the World: Creating a Free, Digital, Bible-Based Curriculum
Romans 12:6 says "We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us." A diverse group of volunteer teachers, artists, musicians, and narrators of all ages are using their God-given talents to serve. In the past 6 months, we have created the first 50 lessons of this high-quality curriculum. By using prayer, video calls, and a structured lesson template tied to CEFR levels, we work together. This free curriculum is designed to be used in diverse settings and formats including on large screens in traditional classrooms, online with video conferencing lessons, on mobile devices, or printed on paper. In this session you will learn about how we incorporate our faith in our virtual collaboration process, how we use scripture to teach academic English, and how you can become involved.
