Object-ively Speaking: Reaching Out to Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

[God] desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4).

Looking for a resource to involve adults in group home settings or those who are a part of your LWML group? Looking to start a Bible class in your congregation for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities? Object-ively Speaking is a new, free, downloadable resource for these special children of God. In this resource, object lessons are applied to a Bible verse or Bible account to help people grasp and relate to important Bible truths.

Object-ively Speaking takes common objects including a calendar, a star, a candy cane, and items of clothing to help people understand the Triune God and His work in our lives. Each object lesson includes a coloring page for the focus Bible verse. These object lessons can also be adapted for use in children’s messages for children ages four–eight.

The first 10 lessons in Object-ively Speaking are currently in production. Watch for their availability in the coming months.
