Bible Passport

Materials
1. Scissors, markers, small stickers or white address labels
2. "Bible Passport" (patterned after a real passport) If you have a polaroid camera, you can even take pictures of the youth for their passports. Another option is to ask them to bring a picture of themselves for the next week. Neoprint pictures also work well.

Activity
As you discuss different Bible stories and characters you can discuss destinations and have them write brief notes in their passports. You might have youth create a special symbol or stamp for the passport based on each Bible destination. If you are really feeling creative, have someone dress up as a Bible character (like Paul) and tell them about the various places he visited. Have youth write down the names of places visited and what happened at each.

Application
"Traveling, through the Bible takes us to many wonderful places. We can travel through the promised land with Joshua, or wander in the desert with Moses. We can travel with Paul to Asia Minor and with Philip to see the Ethiopian. The Bible is like a passport to many places."
