Gospel Adventures™ and Gospel Adventures™ Show

LHM, in partnership with Group Publishing, takes grade school- through middle school-aged children and some adults on a weeklong adventure each year. Gospel Adventures is an informative and interactive virtual learning experience that is complete with five days of FREE curriculum in two formats and bonus materials. Kids learn about the foods, animals, people, and places of different countries with Gospel Adventures. The annual program has included “trips” to Peru, Mongolia, Thailand, Zambia, and India. Visit gospeladventures.org to sign up today!

“We used the Gospel Adventures: Zambia Bound program for first- through fourthgrade attendees during a five-week session for our Crossroads program,” shares Linda Schulz, a member at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Springfield, Illinois. “Crossroads is a family-focused Wednesday evening program we run several times each year. I had heard about Gospel Adventures in a Lutheran Laymen’s League publication, and this was the first time I had used the program. We utilized the curriculum, a few of the activities, the videos, and the song. In addition, we hosted a Zambia meal night that was sponsored by our Global Mission Committee through a Thrivent grant. The children gave a brief presentation, which included the song and what each student learned about Zambia at the conclusion of the program. The children really enjoyed the videos (especially that the videos portrayed kids in Zambia) and the song. They also enjoyed the take-home coloring papers. The students seemed to look forward to each weekly session, and they were especially excited to share the song and what they learned with the other attendees.”

Gospel Adventures Show

Lutheran Hour Ministries and Group Publishing teamed up for an exciting new Gospel Adventure for kids! The Gospel Adventures Show is a weekly audio program that takes young listeners on a Bible journey with hosts, Ben and Noah, to learn valuable biblical lessons from some of the most-loved Bible characters. Each 30-minute episode has a theme, Bible verse, Bible story, an interactive activity, and a story from a kid. The Bible stories, along with memorable music and engaging activities, will teach valuable lessons in each week’s new episode! The vibrant songs will send kids singing memorable melodies and meaningful lyrics to remind them of each valuable lesson. For added fun, listeners can even join in special guided activities with their Adventure hosts!

Plans are underway to syndicate the Gospel Adventures Show across the country. More than 50 radio stations will air the show; beginning in September visit lhm.org/guide to see if the episodes are on near you. You can also continue to listen to the episodes wherever you listen to podcasts or at gospeladventures.org/show
