In October 2024, the Bangladesh Union Mission organized significant events that played a crucial role in nurturing children’s spiritual growth and preparing them for a life guided by biblical principles.
The One-Day Bible Conference held across local churches brought a truly transformative experience to children. Through interactive lessons, games, and storytelling, young participants learned how the Bible is a source of wisdom, comfort, and direction. The event emphasized the importance of seeing the Bible as the greatest treasure and Jesus as their ultimate guide. In addition to teaching biblical values, the conference addressed critical life topics, such as body awareness and personal boundaries, with lessons on the concept of “good touch” and “bad touch,” empowering children to protect themselves and understand their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.
Similarly, the Shine for Jesus Bible Camp, organized by the Dhaka Mirpur Adventist Church from October 03 to 05, 2024, focused on guiding children to experience the presence of the Lord in their hearts. This camp covered all key aspects of spiritual development, challenging children to know the Bible deeply. The camp was packed with engaging activities like sermon contests, solo song performances, storytelling competitions, memory verse recitations, and special seminars addressing teen issues such as friendship and drug awareness. In a powerful culmination of the event, 17 children were baptized, marking a significant spiritual milestone.
Both programs developed a culture of spiritual growth and teamwork, enabling children to deepen their faith and strengthen bonds with one another. These initiatives by the BAUM Children’s Ministries and Dhaka Mirpur Adventist Church provide a holistic foundation for children’s physical, moral, and spiritual well-being, encouraging them to live faith-centered lives as they follow Jesus.
