Girls dig in!

Serious bible study is on the menu in Kununurra with Jenni de Vries (r).

Young people in remote North West Australia are digging regularly into big chunks of the Bible as part of a discipleship program.

St James Kununurra couple, Nic and Jenni de Vries, aim to equip the group of six aged between 10 and 14 years to read and understand God's word. 

“I’m passionate about young people being discipled well and that comes down to understanding the scriptures because that’s the foundation they must stand upon," Jenni said. "They need to know how to read the Bible, which afterall, is not just a usual book."

The group enjoys a meal together before tackling a meaty overview of the Bible.

“At the beginning I spoke to them about the importance of doing hard things. Doing the easy thing is not always the best thing. It’s so good to achieve hard things," she said.

The course, How to study the Bible, developed by Foundation Worldview, explores the themes of God’s faithfulness, human rebellion and God’s rescue plan. 

Please pray for these young people to grow as disciples of Jesus.
