WORDLESS BOOK WORKSHOP
SCHEDULE A WORDLESS BOOK WORKSHOP FOR YOUR CHURCH – EQUIP YOUR MEMBERRS TO USE THIS SIMPLE TOOL TO SHARE THEIR FAITH
THE RICH HISTORY OF THE WORDLESS BOOK
The Wordless Book, first designed with only three pages–black, red, and white–was introduced by Charles Spurgeon in 1866. Preaching at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, his sermon was entitled “The Wordless Book.” Mr. Spurgeon told of an old unnamed minister who had put three pages together and often looked at them to remind himself of his sinfulness, of Christ’s blood poured out for him, and of the “whiter-than-snow” cleansing provided for him. It is not known when the gold page was added, but it brought another dimension to the book, depicting the love of God and the glories of His heavenly home. Nine years later, D. L. Moody used the book of colors at a children’s service where an estimated 12,000 were present to hear his message on “a book with four leaves–black, red, white and gold.” “Tell us a story, Fanny. Tell us another!” the children begged. Fanny Crosby, the famous hymn writer, would often take from her purse a little Wordless Book and tell the children, whom she dearly loved, the story of the Savior. (Read More)
GET TRAINED TO USE THIS HISTORIC TOOL – HELP CHANGE THE FUTURE FOR CHILDREN
The Wordless Book provides a simple way to share the Gospel message. It is the core message CEF missionaries have shared with over 260 million boys and girls around the globe for over 80 years. Even children are using The Wordless Book to share this message with their friends and family.
Today, the sad reality is that 80% of children will never see the inside of a church. That means our children aren’t hearing that they need a savior who is Jesus Christ the LORD. They don’t know they are lost in their sins but that through the salvation message of the Gospel they can find hope, peace and joy. But how can they hear if there is no one telling them there is Good News?
Even more troubling, recent studies find that only 4% of Gen Z (born between 1995 to 2015) have a Biblical worldview. That means today’s children are our nation’s first post-Christian generation. Compound that with our recent Covid-19 crisis and our current cultural chaos and children are fearful about life and uncertain about the future. The need for the Gospel has never been greater. That is why we are offering this church-based Wordless Book Workshop.
