Mostly A’s: Step Into My Shoes / Explorer Magazine
Bonus—you get two resource suggestions! We’re all about kids here at Compassion, and that goes for our kids here in Canada, too. That’s why we created Step Into My Shoes and Explorer Magazine.
Step Into My Shoes is a seven-step devotional that invites your family to step into the shoes of a family from Uganda to learn about poverty and what it looks like to live from enough. Download the experience at stepintomyshoes.ca.
Explorer Magazine is filled with activities, printables, devotionals, stories, recipes, games and more to helps kids stay busy while learning about the world around them. Find everything online at explorer.compassion.com
Mostly B’s: True Story
Calling all teens! We know it’s tough to be apart from your friends right now… but what better time to gather a virtual group to learn what the Bible says about poverty and what God wants us to do about it? True Story is a series designed to help students discover their role in God’s story of redemption for this broken world. Grab a youth leader and head to compassion.ca/truestory to download the guide!
Mostly C’s: Eyes to See
This time of slowing down can be a great opportunity to take inventory of your lifestyle and relationships and how they are part of reflecting God’s love to a world in need. Eyes to See is a six-week book and film series that frames poverty as relational, and invites God’s redemption and restoration into our core relationships: with ourselves, with Him, with others and with the world around us. This resource is designed for both individuals or small groups! Download everything you need at eyestosee.ca.
