An annual event designed to encourage students to share their faith is opening up to adults this year.
Bring Your Bible Day, a project of Focus on the Family, is scheduled to take place on October 3. In the past, the event has been known as “Bring Your Bible to School Day” and called on students to proudly proclaim their Christian faith at school by, as the name of the day suggests, bringing their Bibles to school.
“With political tension and economic [uncertainty] in the air, Bring Your Bible Day not only serves as an important reminder of the values through which this country was founded but also an encouragement to Christ-followers everywhere to be active and open about our faith in the public space,” [said Emerson Collins, the project manager organizing the annual event].
Noting that there were “over one million student participants in last year’s National Bring Your Bible to School Day,” Collins said, “this year is shaping up to be the biggest one yet,” adding, “It couldn’t come at a better time.”
As the full story explains, this is part of the Live It Challenge, which equips students and families to live out their faith in fun and practical ways. You might want to check it out.
