A real ministry story

Bible reading children can lead.

Our church used Bible Buddy as a 40-day Lenten journey, but the heart of the project works in any season: help children enjoy God’s Word and share it with someone every day.

Bible Buddies, Jesus Calling Bible Storybooks, reading materials, and an adoption certificate prepared at the church

This is how we did it

A child becomes the teacher.

Before Lent, every child chose a stuffed-animal Bible Buddy and received a personalized Certificate of Adoption. During worship, the congregation blessed the children and their new responsibility.

For the next 40 days, children read one Bible story to their buddy each day using the Jesus Calling Bible Storybook or a family Bible. Children who were not reading yet held their buddy while a parent read aloud to both of them.

“This is not just a toy anymore. This is your prayer partner—and your first congregation.”
01

Adopt

Choose a buddy, name it, sign the pledge, and receive the church’s blessing.

02

Read

Share one Bible story each day. A parent reads when a child is not yet able.

03

Remember

Add a sticker to the 40-day checklist and photograph moments of reading at home.

04

Celebrate

Gather on Easter, share the story, give completion certificates, and offer a small gift.

Designed around Lent. Useful beyond Lent.

The forty days lead naturally toward Holy Week and Easter, but churches can use the same practice during summer, back-to-school season, or any four-to-six-week Bible-reading emphasis.

The larger story

Children do not grow in faith alone.

These resources are designed to travel between church, home, and the trusted adults who walk with a child over time.
