Take the Plunge Adventures in Odyssey Clubhouse magazine’s Summer Challenge.
Take the plunge into
faith and fun this summer
Focus on the Family and the Odyssey
Adventure Club
offer exciting summer plans for active families
Summer . . . a time that kids pine for during the school
year and parents may anticipate with something akin to dread. Fearing refrains
of “I’m bored” or hours spent on the couch playing video games can make moms
and dads nervous about the long, hot months stretching before their family. Focus
on the Family’s Odyssey Adventure Club offers an answer, encouraging parents
and kids to embrace faith and fun with the Take
the Plunge Adventures in Odyssey Clubhouse magazine’s Summer Challenge.
The Take the
Plunge challenge features:
- Master Mind Monday — commit God’s Word to memory
- Ways to Play Wednesday — spend active time with your family
- Faith Sharing Friday — share God’s love with others
The Take the
Plunge challenge helps families memorize at least five verses, engage in five
activities together and share their faith with five people before the school doors swing open again. Those who sign up will receive an 11-week plan
with suggested verses to memorize, activity ideas (such as visiting a war
memorial) and ways to witness (such as passing out popsicles at the park with
an invitation to your church), making this challenge the perfect tool for
parents who want summer to be a time of spiritual and social stimulation for
their kids.
"Research tells us that the more senses we
involve when teaching children a principle, the more likely it is to stick,” Plugged In editor and Adventures in
Odyssey podcast host Bob Smithouser says. “Bible memorization by itself is
great, but it becomes even more powerful when put into action. Know it. Share
it. Live it.”
Families who sign up to take part in the challenge at
www.whitsend.org/summer will have access to weekly verses to memorize, ideas
for family fun and suggestions for service projects that allow a family to
share their faith. Additionally, anyone who signs up to participate in the Take the Plunge challenge will receive a
free scene from the latest Adventures in Odyssey album, as well as a free story
from the book Strange Journey Back.
The Odyssey Adventure Club offers 24/7,
on-the-go access to more than 800 episodes of Adventures in Odyssey, as well as
a new, members-only episode
every month. OAC is a safe, fun environment where
children can explore, create and imagine, all while developing their faith and
learning biblical truth.
