It Is Written’s My Place With Jesus Expands Bible Study Lineup

In response to growing demand for more children’s Bible study resources, It Is Written has officially launched the My Place With Jesus Early Learner Bible Guides. Designed specifically for younger learners, this new series adapts the core scripture lessons of the original guides into a simple, engaging format tailored for children ages 4 to 6.

For almost 10 years, the original My Place With Jesus Bible Guides have served children ages 7 to 12. Responses from parents, pastors, and educators using programs like Buried Treasure and the Flight 3:16 Vacation Bible School highlighted a growing demand for age-appropriate materials for younger children. The new Early Learner Bible Guides set was created to mirror the primary guides topic-for-topic, allowing families and groups to study the exact same biblical concepts together across different learning levels. The set of 21 guides includes topics such as the Bible, God and Jesus, creation, sin and salvation, prayer, God’s law, Jesus’ Second Coming, and more. 

“Salvation isn’t complex,” said Melissa Bradshaw, director of children’s ministries, in reference to Mark 10:14-15. “The theme of salvation has to be easy enough for a little child to understand. And that was the task of the Early Learner Guides, to boil down the basics into a way that answers the questions of little inquiring minds.” 

Each study guide contains three main questions and activities that reinforce the topic, making it short and easy to understand for young learners. “This is a fantastic set of studies. I wish we’d had them when my children were young,” said John Bradshaw, president of It Is Written. “To be able to engage little ones in a genuine Bible learning experience is special. This is a wonderful tool that should be in the toolbox of every family.”

In addition to the set of guides, the Early Learner Bible Guides Instructor’s Manual is also available for purchase. This essential tool for parents and teachers provides additional insights and teaching notes that bring each lesson to life. 

The My Place With Jesus Early Learner Bible Guides are now available for use in homes, churches, and VBS programs. View the resources below by clicking on their titles. Orders may be placed online or by calling 888-664-5573.

It Is Written Announces New Children’s Evangelism Program Buried Treasure

It Is Written is pleased to announce a brand-new children’s evangelism resource: Buried Treasure. The comprehensive 21-day program is specially designed to minister to children up to 12 years of age during an evangelistic series, Vacation Bible School, Sabbath school, or similar event. Buried Treasure is produced by My Place With Jesus, It Is Written’s ministry for children. For more information about Buried Treasure, visit itiswritten.shop/bt or call 888-664-5573.

Based on the My Place With Jesus Bible Guides, Buried Treasure features Bible studies, original Scripture songs, crafts, games, and lessons all designed to teach children the same Bible truths being shared with adults in an evangelistic series. Each program is customizable, runs for 90 minutes, and includes additional resources and suggestions for overtime. Buried Treasure is designed for ages 7-12 and includes preschool worksheets for younger children to complete during the main Bible study time.

“John and I have worked in evangelism together for more than 25 years and understand the importance of having a children’s program at evangelistic meetings,” said Melissa Bradshaw, My Place With Jesus director and wife of It Is Written president John Bradshaw. “Parents are likely not going to attend if there is nothing offered to their children. Buried Treasure is an opportunity for children to learn the same life-changing principles of the Bible the adults are learning in an interactive, exciting, and lasting way. And we know that churches are always looking for a good, Bible-based Vacation Bible School program, which Buried Treasure provides.”

Melissa knows firsthand the importance of child evangelism. As a young girl, she and her sisters attended a children’s program while her mother attended an evangelistic series. Melissa loved what she learned, and she encouraged her father to follow the teachings of the Bible too. He was baptized as a result.

“Young people are evangelists,” said John Bradshaw. “And it’s imperative we give young people effective tools so they can learn and share their faith. Buried Treasure does that.”

Buried Treasure has received only positive feedback from those who have field-tested it, said Melissa. “During the pilot of Buried Treasure, one busy family almost stopped attending the evangelistic series, but because the children didn’t want to miss a single night of Buried Treasure, the parents decided to continue attending the adult meetings. As a result, the whole family made a decision to follow Jesus and were baptized!” Another reviewer in Idaho called it “wonderful, easy to use, and thoughtfully laid out.”

Buried Treasure provides everything needed to conduct a fun, effective, Christ-centered program that will encourage children to make life-long decisions for Jesus. Buried Treasure may be ordered online at itiswritten.shop/bt or by calling 888-664-5573.
