Sunday School Lessons

Audio Visual Lessons for Evangelism and Basic Bible Teaching

These lessons are rooted in the Sunday School Lessons originally published by the AIC Sunday School Committee in Juba, Southern Sudan. They have been thoughtfully adapted for broader use by Global Recordings Network Australia, with the gracious permission of the Africa Inland Church, Sudan.

Purpose and Use: The lessons are designed to be used in conjunction with audio visual picture books, available through Global Recordings Network. They were developed as a response to requests from young people tasked with teaching Sunday School, recognizing the invaluable role of visual aids in educational settings.

App Features:

• Comprehensive Content: The app contains 226 Bible lessons, organized into 9 books.
• Program Integration: Lessons are based on the "Good News" and "Look, Listen, and Live" audio visual programs from Global Recordings Network, accessible through the 5fish app.
• User-Friendly Navigation: Features include title search capabilities.
• Teacher Support: Each lesson comes with detailed teacher instructions.
• Multimedia Experience: Users can play English audio recordings and view pictures related to each lesson story.
• Offline Accessibility: The app allows offline use, with the exception of audio components.

Lesson Structure and Recommendations: Each lesson within the app is structured to last approximately twenty minutes, focusing solely on the teaching segment of the Sunday School session. Other activities such as singing, prayer, Bible reading, and quizzes are left for teachers to plan. It is recommended that each lesson concludes with a brief prayer and song that reflects the week's teaching theme. The lessons are tailored for children aged 7 to 12, accommodating a wide age range.

Teaching Approach: Initially, these lessons were handwritten by teachers in exercise books, designed to be concise yet comprehensive. Some have been expanded, but the core idea remains to provide a brief outline that teachers can flesh out during their preparation. Each lesson includes an aim at the top, guiding the focus of the teaching. Given the target audience, lessons are crafted to introduce children to key truths about God gradually, rather than attempting to convey the full scope of theological knowledge in one sitting.

Guidance for Teachers: The lessons are not intended to be read verbatim to the class. Instead, they serve as a guide—a "walking stick" rather than a "pair of crutches"—for teachers, encouraging them to engage with the material and adapt it to their teaching style and the needs of their students.
