Backyard Bible

A Nature’s Lamp Education Tool
Exploring Theme 1: God’s Word through nature

Goal: Backyard Bible helps participants recognize that Christ is here and now. It helps in displacing that subtle tendency for Christians and non-Christians to see the God of the Biblical stories as a God from a far-away land and historical times. Seeing things of God’s creation that surround us in our everyday lives inserted into Biblical passages can help to erase such modern-life gaps in spiritual confidence.

Participant requirements: this activity is adaptable to any age group. Familiarity with the Bible is helpful but not required.
