Where in the World . . . is Peru & Bolivia?
What a fun way to learn about the world!
Right now, our oldest son is traveling all over the world on a global adventure. As a mission-minded homeschooling family, we love to learn about different nations and cultures, and we love to pray for people who need Jesus. Every few weeks, as we get news about this trip, we’re using it as a way for our kids to learn about WORLD MISSIONS (along with world geography and worldviews). There are so many exciting things to see and to do . . .
Mission-Minded Teaching Ideas:
Available here at Harvest Ministry, we have a complete one-year unit study homeschooling curriculum, all based on world missions and God’s Great Commission, called Teaching With God’s Heart for the World. If you follow the whole program (which can be used over one year, or two years, or even as individual week-long units) you and your children will take a whirl-wind tour of international geography and world history.

In some places, the curriculum is a little outdated and some of the recommended resources are no longer available, but don’t worry about those little details! And don’t ever think that you have to do “everything”!!! Just glean from the teaching ideas and have fun. The lesson plans are now available for FREE and the craft projects, recipes, ancient history, and Bible lessons are just as applicable as ever. Come take a look!

Shay,
Thank you so much for commenting on this post. May God bless you and your family as you minister in Bolivia. We are grateful for your service to the Lord.
Thanks for the free download! We live in Cochabamba, Bolivia as missionaries and are considering going back to home educating our kids after trying out the MK school here for a few months. This will come in handy if we decide the Lord is leading us to that.
