Home School Families
Word & Deed wants to come alongside Christian schools and home schooling families by helping students gain a better understanding of what it means to love their neighbor (Matthew 22:39).
This includes facilitating student encounters with the real-world realities that many Christians face around the world, and by providing information about how they can become involved and make an impact.
Chapel
Our staff is willing to speak at a school chapel when we are in your area.
Classroom/
Home School Meeting Presentation
We offer in-class presentations that challenge students’ thinking on various topics such as ‘A Biblical View of Poverty’ or ‘Christian Persecution’.
Country Education Videos
We have a variety of educational country videos and packages that are targeted toward ages 10-15. The videos are around 10 minutes long and are educational, missional, and cross-curricular. They touch on topics related to geography, history, religion, culture, and ministry projects. There is a special persecution video and package that you may request directly from Word & Deed by emailing office@wordanddeed.org.
WATCH THE VIDEOS
The videos are stand-alone. You can watch the videos here: Country Education Playlist
FURTHER STUDY – USING READY-MADE OPTIONAL COUNTRY PACKAGES.
Each country package includes questions and answers from the video and an online article or two to read for further study. Teachers can pick and choose which components of the package they would like to use. All the necessary materials are ready to be sent on to students (the package includes an answer key for teachers). The packages can be found here: Country Education Packages
Ministry Support
Schools or individual classrooms and homeschool families can get involved in people’s lives in the developing world in a tangible way. There are multiple options to choose from:

GIVING HOPE CAMPAIGN
In November and December, Word & Deed will have a gift catalog that includes various items at different price points that your school can raise funds to “purchase.” Challenge your school by picking a large item to raise funds for. This would be a good way to promote some school spirit and maybe a little friendly class competition. Some example items from the past have been: Bibles, meals for a student, school supplies for a student for one year, a sewing machine, a motorcycle for a pastor, drill a well. Here is a link to the catalog: Giving Hope Catalog
HUNGER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
Each Spring, Word & Deed organizes a 24-hour Hunger Awareness Month. Schools are asked to choose a day within that month in which to participate in a 24-hour fast, which reminds them of children in the developing world who often go hungry. Students ask for pledges for the 24-hours that they don’t eat, and the funds raised are used to fund children’s nutrition programs run by Word & Deed partners. Schools are encouraged to have students share their experience with faculty members and to arrange for participants to break their fast with a shared meal. Here is an information poster that you can share with your school for our 2024 campaign: 2024 Hunger Awareness Campaign
“I would like to thank the supporters of the mission for the help that they bring into my life. I love the Bible studies and learning the stories of the Bible. The groups from Canada and the USA are such a blessing and we love the games that they teach us and the Bible crafts that we do. I have been in this project for four years now and I love the Word of God… Jesus is the only hope that I have.”
“This past year Word & Deed took the initiative to work out a very important project that would place theology books in the hands of pastors across Latin America… I wish to congratulate Word & Deed for their sensitivity to such fundamental needs in the church of Latin America. Good theology will produce healthy churches. We need to always work on the foundations. On behalf of CLIR, we look forward to continued cooperation in the future.”
“We can only say thanks, because without a doubt, the Family Protection Team arrived at the right time. We felt listened to, understood, and above all we were able to recognize that God is the basis of our home. With Him restoration becomes complete and we can be a happy family.”
“I love the education material that Word & Deed publishes and shares. It is a wonderful way for my 7th-grade geography students to learn the history of a country, but also to learn about the creativity of God through different cultures.”
“When I was in Grade 4, I heard a presentation about the Adoration School in Haiti. That made me think about the children of my age that don’t have the privilege of going to school as I do. The question came into my mind how to raise money for them…. Then in the summer of 2020, I started my HJK Landscaping Service and went to my neighbors and worked for them. My business worked out well, so I decided to put away 10 percent of all the money I received and give it to the Adoration School in Haiti.”
“Praise God for what He is doing to expand Christian education and the opportunity to witness for Christ among the Muslims in Indonesia. We pray that He will continue to use us as a tool to bring more people to Christ and to grow his church in this nation.”
“In school, I have been taught the Word of God, which is very important to my life and that of my family. I feel happy because the teachers at La Palabra treat me very well.”
