Juniorwayå¨ Student
The junior years are a pivotal time in children‰۪s lives. They‰۪re learning how to find their own way in life, build strong friendships, and gain responsibility. Challenges such as peer pressure also begin to make life feel more complicated.
It‰۪s important for Juniors to receive positive reinforcement as they develop a sense of independence and a good self-image. Junior students are especially open to hearing the message of salvation in Christ and applying it to their lives. Juniorwayå¨ makes learning God‰۪s Word exciting, challenging, and relevant.
Each issue of Juniorwayå¨ includes 13 weekly lessons for urban juniors, designed to help them see their need to depend on the Savior as they grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Bible studies are based on the International Uniform Lesson Series, with attractive features to make them meaningful to young people‰۪s hearts and minds. Every student magazine includes:
- True-to-life ‰ÛÏWhat‰۪s It All About?‰ stories that present the lesson‰۪s themes in a realistic situation, raising questions for conversation.
- KJV and NIV Scripture text for easy reference in Bible study.
