We really hope you enjoy these great images put together at The Scripture Scout.
Each one is a different animal (lion, fox, giraffe, elephant, rhinoceros, and zebra in this one!) and comes with an easy-to-read ENCOURAGING verse from a children's Bible.
for your own home office
In this school year and 2021 to come, remember that everything happens for a reason, the good and bad. During the toughest of times look to God for guidance, and HE will be there to support you.

A great daily/weekly list for your refrigerator!
just a gift to delight you

a parent's prayer resource
A WEEKLY PRAYER PLAN THAT ORGANIZES YOUR TIME AND GIVES YOU PEACE IN A WORLD OF CHAOS.
a COVID-19 resource
Ways to inspire your children to "be a light" during a crisis.
from the Sleuth for the Truth Curriculum Plan
A practical, sensible, and kid-friendly way to find Jesus in every part of the Word of God. Each fun and inspiring lesson (including activities and midweek meetings) can be appropriately applied to grades 1 -12.
FOR the Sleuth for the Truth Curriculum Plan
Believe it or not, understanding BIBLICAL CHRONOLOGY can be a blast! The Scripture Scout's Sleuth for the Truth Sunday School curriculum offers an amazing resource for the teacher.
Here you will find access to the chronological order of Bible Books! We've made it FUN, too: the images for each book correspond with the Sleuth for the Truth lesson in which that book is being covered. For example, Titus & Philemon are covered in the same lesson, but Luke is covered in two different lessons. Let the fun images guide you!
for your fridge! ;-)
I want you to feel free to pass this on to any Sunday School teacher you know. Or maybe that's YOU! Through the Scripture Scout method of team teaching, it is simpler to take your lesson from being so close to boring (that it causes someone to extemporaneously nap) to something even the adults in the room will truly enjoy! Here are some ABCs, well, ABZs, for having a ZIPPY time in any bible classroom!
for your class or your own kids
The Scripture Scouts' particularly yummy version of an old favourite with the added spice of scripture reading during the process. It's fun, it's biblically educational, plus it is pretty delicious!
for the Sunday School Teacher
This is a new membership from The Scripture Scout -- not free, but so valuable you will feel like you're stealing from us every time you need to teach a Sunday school class! Check it out here!
2) ...for MISSION TRIP PREPARATION & BEYOND!
fun short-term missionary
advice from a serious pro
Dear friend,
A missionary who had great impact on the PrediSan Health Ministries in Honduras, Charlie Walton was a very well-respected short-term missionary to Honduras (and long-term missionary to everyone around him). This is my collection of his personal proverbs concerning mission work that he uttered at one time or another on one of his many ventures to the deep, deep south. A couple of years before he passed into glory, he gave me permission to use (or mess with) some of them in my book on missions. I feel sure there are many, many others. I share them with you so that they may give you a little laugh, but ultimately, a little perspective about things that can happen on the short-term mission field. Enjoy. *wink*
Love, Angie
You can be a missionary at school!
When we are trusting God we have to find our courage to be missionaries anywhere.
Dig deep. Refuse anxiety. Purpose yourselves to believe in Him!
We have spoken at great length on being a missionary at home, but how about SCHOOL? And what if it's VIRTUAL?
There is an August 2020 freebie at The Scripture Scout related to missions, that is, related to YOUR MISSION TRIP TO SCHOOL!
You. Will. Love. It!
Fun/Free postcards!
Don't know HOW to help people right now?
Inspired by one of The Scripture Scout interviews, How to Help People TODAY, these postcards are to inspire you of Jacob's fantastic idea (and nonprofit, Love for the Elderly) and kicks off an idea of how you can be a helpful person, be extremely useful, and even go on a "mission trip" today.
This freebie is also included in the (paid) product that premieres in July 2020, NO MONKEY BUSINESS, a jam-packed Missions Survival Guide with proven practices that keep You On Target & send you into orbit, a 2020 survival guide you can use even if your trip was cancelled.
Hope these postcards inspires you of ONE way to "do missions at home!"

2020 AND MISSION TRIPS?
it CAN be done!
Were you planning on going on a mission trip this summer? Did you raise money and everything? Was it derailed by the fact that, well, planes aren’t going to be getting you there? Guess what? Welcome to your first lesson in flexibility.
Even if this type of mission work seems tiny compared to your other possibilities, be that person who is ascertaining how they can help, even if you are housebound missionary.
A step-by-step guide to raise money for your mission trip.
Extremely helpful tips from myself and a missions' accountant that will be
invaluable to you in your endeavours to fund your mission trip and before you run to mama’s Christmas card list for possible cash donations. ;-)Look closely at sources, limitations, order of effectiveness, and a sample support letter for you to use.
ARE YOU READY?
Best-selling recording artist, songwriter, and author Michael Card called this book “The perfect tool for preparing and sustaining anyone sensing the call to a short-term mission project. It is both intensely practical and deeply spiritual as it provides advice for the emotional experience of sending our best out on mission for the first time.”
Processing Your Team's Mission Trip (after the trip AND, more importantly, before they go!)
If you are a mission group leader, you know it is important to address RE-ENTRY back to their home country as it is spiritually profitable to prepare the team before the trip. You may need to help some members adjust back to their daily lives. This prep will open their eyes and hearts even greater as the trip continues and it is a fun and easy PowerPoint to guide and your team through those thoughts. It does help to process these things after your trip, but it is MORE effective before. Scripture Scout's honour! :)
A fun info-graphic for you.
Here is a simple little info-graphic you can use as a bookmark, mini-poster, print-and-share or just something to share virtually. It's something we talk about in How to Get Ready for Short-Term Missions. You also may know as much as I do (maybe more!) and will nod your head vehemently at this list (and maybe even giggle a little), but now you have something in print that you can reference or share however you like!
3) ... for YOUR DEVOTIONAL TIME & YOUR LIFE-WALK WITH GOD!
Devotional notes for daily or weekly speculations on scripture.
A quick place to jot down or record thoughts, prayers, insights, and other reflections from your time with God. Great to print one sheet a week and keep adding things each day or just use during time while studying with your church family or listening to a sermon.

Daily Devotionals
THIS IS EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE!
Your personal 'evergreen' daily bible reading plan should take about 15 minutes a day. It is managed by month and goes through the Bible thematically. Although some passages seem unrelated ... they are very related! It takes a scripture scout like you to see how!
A Small Group Bible Study in I John
This is a direct upload to a document to share in a small group Bible study of I John. It is directly from a freshmen college class I taught on the same subject. To reach really KNOWING, with confidence, of your eternal life in Christ, it focuses on the importance of LIVING and LOVING.
I hope it can be of some use to you!
A Daily Reflection 'Planner'
Can't plan reflections, can you? But maybe you can plan to set a time or create a space to HAVE some! ;-)
He wants to meet your heart’s desires at the deepest level of your soul. God’s presence is always with you. His ways are higher than your ways.
To know Him, we really must spend time with Him.
for your personal quiet time

A Parenting Checklist
with Jesus
Parenting is HARD. I mean, really really hard. Did I say that out loud? Are you laughing yet? The things that have kept ME away from pure insanity all have to do with truly committing time to myself alone or with sisters, to scripture, to sincere meditation, and companionship with Jesus. Sometimes just committing a few moments a day make all the difference in the world. So I put together your list and some layouts that are phenomenally helpful! You can use it yourself OR pass it on to a friend.
Mini-planner & quick devotions for parents.
This is a direct upload to a monthly checklist of goals with a biblical focus to make your life simpler while being redirected to the Word of God. This one will I am giving to you for FREE for a limited time because they when they go to press they will be offered for cost as a tear-off notebook. Yay!
