Around 60 kids have participated in this year's challenge, spending time in God's Word with their families and learning about missionaries through reading biographies. Praise God for families who dedicated time to intentionally discipling their children this summer! Here's one mom's experience:
“Truthfully, our children can push back on family Bible reading when easier, entertainment-driven books compete for their attention. It takes intentionality to choose what is formative over what is simply easy or entertaining. BVI’s Walking By The Way summer reading challenge gives our family the structure and accountability to read Scripture, learn from the lives of missionaries, and engage in meaningful conversations together. It doesn’t simply encourage children to read—it helps parents disciple their children and gives families a meaningful way to grow in faith together. We are deeply grateful for this much-needed program.”
