Why Messengers of Faith?
Messengers of Faith dolls are designed to help parents and educators teach children important Bible stories.
These dolls are a 3D teaching resource, featuring recorded Scriptures at the push of a button. By introducing
Bible characters and their stories to children" one character at a time," children can begin to grasp an overall
view of Scripture. Messengers of Faith dolls can be used to help children:
a. Learn Bible stories.
b. Understand Biblical survey and the chronological history of the Bible.
c. Learn the cultural background surrounding the Bible characters and their stories.
The costuming of each doll has been researched to reflect fashions typical of the time period in which the Bible
character lived. Discussing the costume on each doll will add to children's understanding of Biblical culture and
history. Provided with each doll is an easy to read story detailing the life and accomplishments of that
character, along with the "script" of the featured recorded Scripture.
How to Use Messengers of Faith to Help Children Memorize Scripture
1. Teach the Bible story.
First use the strategy discussed in the preceding section to teach the child the Bible story surrounding the
verses that you want the child to memorize.
2. Engage the child.
Gain the child's interest in memorizing the verses from the Bible and tell them that you will allow them to use
the doll to help them. Tell them why it is important to know Bible verses.
3. Listen to the Scriptures.
Cue up the beginning verse by pressing the button on the back of the doll until you come to the last verse of the
sequence. This will be your starting verse. You can discover the sequence of verses on the "voice script" that
accompanies the doll or go to each individual product page to print out the scripts. Have the child listen to the
verses very intently as you review each one together.
4. Recite and repeat.
Have the child speak the verses aloud while listening to the recordings. Praise the child for every attempt with
encouraging words and smiles as they recite the verses with the recording. Encourage the child to continue this
process for awhile until you can determine that the child is reciting the verses with confidence and is speaking
the verses just a little bit faster than the recording. Depending upon the child, this process may take minutes,
hours or days but eventually they will be able to recite the verse without the use of the recording. It is always a
good practice to reward the child's efforts in some way that will be meaningful to them. This will encourage
them to want to remember more Scripture.
5. Recite and then play the recording.
Help the child understand how well they have done by challenging them to recite the verses by memory before
pushing the voice chip button. Use this as a time to test their ability and encourage and reward their efforts.
