WorldViews Junior Workbook: Project42 Edition: Project 42

The world is full of many people-more than 7.5 billion, in fact. They speak different languages, wear different clothes, eat different foods, and live in homes that often look very different from ours.

Scripture tells us that this beautiful diversity reflects God's creativity and love for humanity, and that He has placed each person within the context of their individual culture, "so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us" (Acts 17:27).

As children grow and explore the world around them, they will encounter people with beliefs and practices that may seem strange and foreign. As they learn to follow Jesus, they will also discover that He calls us to love our neighbor-whether he or she is next door or on the other side of the world.

Loving our neighbors means both seeking to understand what they believe, as well as sharing with them what we believe. This privilege is not exclusive to missionaries. It's something we are all called to do-whether in the coffee shop, at our workplace, or even on the playground.

Developed as a partnership between Pioneers, a global missions agency, and Sonlight, a homeschool curriculum company, WorldViews is an engaging, interactive introduction to the five major religous blocs in the world today.

Arranged around the acronym "THUMB" (Tribal, Hindu, Unreligious, Tribal, Muslim, Buddhist), WorldViews uses videos, crafts, activities, recipes and other interactive tools to help parents teach their children about global religions.

Children will develop a biblical perspective on other faiths and learn about God's love for all the peoples of the world. They will better understand the beliefs and practices of other religions and be equipped to share what they believe with sensitivity and conviction.
