Training Made Easy

1. Act On His Word, Act 1: Becoming Peter  

You must experience this immersive multisensory Bible Study!  Act On His Word includes over 50 accessibility features and utilizes Universal Design for Learning to enhance learning for ALL people. We are so excited to produce an accessible Bible study that encourages people of all abilities to come together for discipleship!

It has been a lot of hard work and such a joy to help create this new Bible Study that is intentionally designed for people of all abilities to study the Bible TOGETHER!  

Gather a group and go Act On His Word!

Here’s our church family gathering for Act 1: Becoming Peter.  These people are terrific!

Here’s what people are saying:

 “I just love the way you’ve brought the scriptures to life in this fresh way.  It’s all very accessible and it was incredibly easy to visualize. Bravo!”
— Jessica W., Librarian and mother of 3

“The scripts are really helpful in seeing the Biblical characters as real people that I can identify with and see seem in a whole different light.” — Jason G., Youth Minister

“I’m looking through your curriculum and am very interested in using this in the fall. As a teacher, it would be helpful to have some stated learning objectives. I really like the breakdown of reading levels and word counts in the scripts which will help me designate roles for certain individuals. I also like the sound effects which can help give a role to my non-verbal students.”
— Shannon D., teacher and leader of special needs ministry

Thanks to this great feedback we have added learning objectives and key verses to memorize for each episode!  We love your feedback!

Did you ever wonder how we can offer all of these trainings and services for FREE, it’s because of generous donors!   We are so grateful for one-time gifts and ongoing support.  Others pay it forward when they receive training or resources because they know not everyone can afford to give.  We are grateful to everyone that gives to this ministry to overcome obstacles to Jesus!
