Concerned at the lack of Bible in today's schools?
If you live in the United Kingdom, there is a marvellous opportunity to be part of a team of Bible storytellers to chronologically tell major Bible stories in school assemblies to young children and help them become familiar with characters and stories of Adam & Eve, Noah, Abraham, David, etc.
Open the Book is a website that explains the opportunity, vision and need for volunteers. You can discover there too how YOU can be a part of spreading the story of Jesus in schools and turning the tide of biblical illiteracy in the UK!
If you live or minister in the UK ... don't miss this opportunity!
