Since 2005, we have been diligently developing and refining a Bible curriculum for Christian education in schools. We give glory to the Lord that our content has proven both rich and engaging, resonating with evangelical and other schools alike.
In recent years, however, some schools moved away from our curriculum in favor of sectarian alternatives or materials with stronger technological integration. But this year, we witnessed a surprising and encouraging shift—several schools returned to our curriculum after discovering that it offers a far superior educational experience.
This renewed interest has deepened our conviction in the value of our ongoing work. Our current initiative aims to serve churches, schools, families, and children across the Arabic-speaking world by delivering structured, interactive lessons online. By incorporating audio, visuals, and hands-on activities, we are enhancing both engagement and learning outcomes—making the curriculum more appealing and impactful than ever.
➕The Current Need
Since its launch in Jordan in 2005, Elinjeel Lehaza Aljeel (The Bible for This Generation), an Arabic Bible curriculum, has been used in several schools. This year, we started working on an updated edition to serve churches, schools, and families across the Arabic-speaking world.
Now based in Texas, we’re also seeking partnerships with Christian organizations and churches in the U.S. to expand this mission. To support this effort, Shereen, the lead author, recently earned her second Master’s degree in Education with a focus on Curriculum and Design.
➕Why Such a Need?
Rising Challenges
Imagine the challenges children face today. Exposed to a whirlwind of philosophies and beliefs through the internet and social media, navigating their faith can be incredibly complex. In a globalized world where information travels freely, a strong spiritual foundation is crucial, especially for young minds still developing their values.
Unfortunately, this challenge is amplified in the Arab world. Many Arab Christian families lack access to Sunday School curricula that resonate with their cultural context. This creates a disconnect between their faith and heritage, leaving children without resources tailored to their needs.
Continues Demand
Sunday School teachers yearn for engaging, relevant Arabic curriculums to reach children's hearts.
Existing materials? Outdated, missing, or culturally off-key. Translations fumble, leaving Arab children adrift in a sea of modern challenges. Our mission: craft powerful Arabic resources that empower teachers and parents to shape children's lives for eternity.
Surge in Online Learning
The explosion of online learning technologies presents an exciting opportunity for Christian education. By adapting and integrating these advancements, we can create a more engaging and effective learning experience for Arabic Christians, whether at home, in schools, or within churches. This will strengthen Christian education and nurture the faith of future generations.
Empowering Arab Christian Families
Arab Christian families need a curriculum that empowers them to nurture their children's faith. This culturally relevant resource should ground them in core Christian principles, fostering a deep connection to their Arab heritage and church community. By fostering a love for Christ and his ministry, it can ignite a passion for service, creating a generation dedicated to the Lord and his message.
The Need for Engaging Online Christian Curriculum
Many Christian education programs in schools lack the engagement to capture students' attention in today's world. An online curriculum presenting biblical truths in a captivating and interactive way could fill this critical gap. This would empower Christian educators by providing a wealth of online resources for effective and engaging teaching.
The Need for an Arab-Led Curriculum Development Initiative
A significant barrier to creating a comprehensive Arabic Bible curriculum is the lack of a dedicated organization. Currently, no known entity focuses on developing such a curriculum, specifically by Arabs for Arabs. This critical gap leaves a vital need unfulfilled within the Arab Christian community.
