Overview
In recent years, an organic movement has begun in pockets of the evangelical community to live out James 1:27. All over America, people and churches are discovering opportunities to care for the fatherless in very creative and practical ways. God is awakening a spirit in the contemporary evangelical church to live out the Gospel through the care of orphans. Orphanology: The Bible Study offers your group the opportunity to join this movement and discover ways to get involved in your community and around the world. LifeBibleStudy is pleased to offer a 6-lesson curriculum to complement Orphanology. We believe this study will help your group dig into the concepts and apply them to their daily lives. It's designed for easy group facilitation, so no leadership experience is necessary.
Teaching materials include specifically designed activities for college students, younger and older singles, newly marrieds, young marrieds, parents of children, parents of teenagers, empty nesters, senior adults, and those who participate in classes with a Master Teacher. Also included each week are lesson commentaries, Family Devotion handouts, learner worksheets, and session handouts.
Each group member will need a copy of Orphanology
