KEEPERS OF THE FAITH

      

Over the years, we have participated in Keepers of the Faith both in the context of

groups as well as independently just within our own home. It's a really sweet resource.

 

The idea is similar to Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts in that the children earn badges as they acquire
skills and memorize Scripture, and everything is approached from a biblical perspective.
For boys, they offer Contenders for the Faith and for girls, Keepers at Home.

 

In the past, when we have participated in groups, we have had t-shirts, sashes, and pins. But one group we were part of chose to simply have the meetings for fellowship and fun without even ordering all of the extras. Typically, we have met once a month, which feels about right for this type of involvement. We've forged friendships while learning new things (like knitting which we had always hoped to learn!). We've also enjoyed various outreach opportunities like singing for the folks of a local retirement home (outreach being something we're always looking to participate in as a family!).

 

At home, Aida in particular enjoys working through the handbook on her own.

She asks me to sign off on things she achieves and finds it very rewarding.

 

We're thankful for Keepers of the Faith as an extra curricular resource we've taken advantage of, both independently at home, as well as socially. There've been many memories made...and I'm sure there will be many more!

"Teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste,
keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."
Titus 2:4-5
 

"Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary
to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints."
Jude 1:3
