The Treasure Hunt New Testament

Through their partnership with Biblica, Spread the Word has been able to expand their distribution to include materials geared specifically for children and young adults. The Treasure Hunt New Testament Bible is an engaging user-friendly bridge between Bible stories and God’s Word. It teaches children that reading and studying God’s Word is fun while also helping parents answer some of the difficult questions about God that children may ask. At a FTH feeding program in northern Honduras, Treasure Hunt New Testaments were given out to all the children in the village. This is the story that was shared back with us: Recently, FTH started a feeding program in a remote area of northern Honduras occupied by an indigenous tribe called the Ch’orti. There are about 5,000 Ch’orti that live in Honduras. They are very isolated in the mountains that border Guatemala. One of the pastors serving the Ch’orti began the feeding program in a village where they serve about 50 children every day. When the pastor found out that we have the Treasure Hunt Bibles for children, he asked if we could have enough copies to give one to each child in the village. When the pastor began handing the Bibles out, the children were very excited. For many, this is the first book they have ever owned. The pastor watched the children head off and begin reading the Bibles. While the village is normally pretty noisy with children playing, there was very little sound for over an hour as the kids absorbed the words of the Bibles they had been given. One of the boys approached the pastor and told him, “This is the nicest gift that I have every received.”
