Scottish Bible Society


Had the opportunity to put my photography to good use and team up with Scottish Bible Society. James, whom I've mentioned in the past goes to Eikon and works with this great organization. They purchased and designed a mobile classroom to teach kids about Christianity in really creative ways. It's essentially a "field trip" for students, and they love, as well as teachers. I took a lovely train ride along the east coast of Scotland with the Program Director, Sandy and another employee who was a really nice guy, Robert.
It's basically a semi-truck that uses its space very efficiently. There are different stations where students can interactively learn: an "aeroplane" with seats and screens in front for each student. There, they get to see what other students around the world are doing with other Bible societies. There's a library, which takes them through the books of the bible. All in all, 5 separate stations that can hold up to 30 students is used for 70 minute-periods.




The program is in high-demand all over the country. It was interesting to hear that school systems have no problems with different religious groups coming into share or do programs. James does such a great job with these young students.

It's always so good to see what others are doing to share Jesus with others in our own world and around the world. It reminds us and encourages us that we're not alone and we're all a part of God's team.
