A joyful 40-day Bible-reading journey children can lead
A field-tested church-and-home pathway that helps children adopt a Bible Buddy, read Scripture for 40 days, and celebrate the journey together.
Bible Buddy turns daily Bible reading into a responsibility children are excited to carry. Each child adopts a stuffed-animal buddy, promises to become its Bible teacher, and shares one Bible story each day with family support.
Our church used the project through Lent and celebrated on Easter, but the complete pathway can be adapted for summer, back-to-school season, or any four-to-six-week Bible-reading emphasis.
Each stage gives the church and family a clear next step without limiting the project to one season.
Choose the season, invite families, gather buddies, and prepare the church
Children name a buddy, make a promise, and receive the congregation’s blessing
Children share one Bible story each day, with parents reading when needed
Gather the stories, recognize the children, and mark the completed journey
Use the pathway as a forty-day Lent project or adapt it to the season, ages, families, and reading rhythm of your church.
