the reason we teach this unit

Please allow adequate time as you prepare for each of your sessions. Nazarene Discipleship International (NDI) desires these children's discipleship lessons to both engage the teacher in personal discipleship as well as to be children's disciple makers. At this early elementary age, your children are discovering situations unknown to them previously. On occasion, they will face a difficult problem and feel that God is not working in their lives. They may believe that being small means they cannot do anything. Through the lessons in this unit, they will learn that we are all precious in the sight of God, regardless of age. They will also realize that the Lord is helping them learn from his Word while they are small.

They will learn that “obedience” and “availability” are needed to serve God and that God wants them to obey him and always be ready to serve him.
