Sneak peek! 👀✨
We’ve been working with BCM on a new international children’s book, brought to life through connections made at LittWorld. 🌍📚
So excited to share a glimpse of what God is doing through this project!
Full story below. 👇
“God has been doing amazing things since LittWorld,” Sophia Wong, BCM’s International Children’s Ministry Coordinator, recently shared. “After returning home, I sensed a special nudge from the Lord to write a children’s storybook that shares about BCM’s Bible Clubs around the world.”
Sophia reached out to Shantal de Odicio, a fellow BCM colleague from Peru. Together they wrote 12 short stories from 12 different countries. “We are very excited to share these stories and hope they will encourage many,” says Shantal.
Shantal and Sophia also connected with graphic designer and illustrator José Carlos Gutiérrez M., whom they met at LittWorld in Mexico last November. “We’re so thankful for José Carlos,” says Sophia. “His excellent artwork has added so much life and excitement to each story.”
Another member of the book’s design team is Momir Blazek from Croatia, who is working on the layout. Momir was José Carlos’ roommate at LittWorld Kenya in 2012, and they met again at LittWorld Hungary in 2022.
“It’s special to see how—even from different parts of the world—we can collaborate as the body of Christ on this international project,” José Carlos says.
“LittWorld has truly been a catalyst for this initiative,” says Sophia. “I can truly see God’s hand guiding this project every step of the way, bringing children to Him through these real-life stories. Pray for the final stages of production—for creativity and wisdom as the text and illustrations are brought together. Above all, may everything we do bring glory to God.”
The book is due to be published in English, Spanish and Dutch as part of BCM’s 90th anniversary celebration. See a sneak peak graphic featuring characters from the book below!
