In Level 5, your child will meet key people from Africa that had an impact on God’s kingdom. The first chapter gives a geographical overview of the continent of Africa followed by three chapters on the early history of Egypt. Anchored in biblical history, the narrative builds on Abram’s, Moses’s, and Joseph’s time in Egypt.
Learn about early church leaders like Origen, Tertullian, and Clement, then follow Athanisus as he stood his ground during the Arian controversy. Through the stories of people like Augustine and David Livingstone, your child will understand the spiritual culture of Africa and the influence of missionaries on the continent.
By studying these significant historical characters, your child also will learn the events they lived through, including the Crusades, European colonization, and the African slave trade. Throughout the text, your student will learn the importance of bringing the Gospel to unreached peoples in the vast continent of Africa. The focus is on students learning key historical events within the context of the Christian faith. Every chapter is full of Bible verses and includes “Prayer Points” as a guide to pray for various regions in Africa.
Shorter sentences and a lower reading level make the text easy to understand, as concepts are broken down into simpler ideas. Text is double-columned with full-color maps, illustrations, and labeled photographs to bring the narratives to life. Use with Taking Africa for Jesus Student Workbook. All Bible verses are taken from the NKJV. 259 pages, softcover. ~Tara
