An annual event designed to encourage students to share their faith is opening up to adults this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bring Your Bible Day<\/a>, a project of Focus on the Family, is scheduled to take place on October 3. In the past, the event has been known as \u201cBring Your Bible to School Day\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith 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,\u201d [said Emerson Collins, the project manager organizing the annual event].<\/p>\n\n\n\n Noting that there were \u201cover one million student participants in last year\u2019s National Bring Your Bible to School Day,\u201d Collins said, \u201cthis year is shaping up to be the biggest one yet,\u201d adding, \u201cIt couldn\u2019t come at a better time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the full story<\/a> explains, this is part of the Live It Challenge<\/a>, which equips students and families to live out their faith in fun and practical ways.
