In conjunction with the Seventh-day Adventist world church's "Follow the Bible" initiative, Adventist Children's Ministries in the South Pacific has introduced GodLink, a Bible-study guide for children aged six to 12.

GodLink encourages children to read a Bible passage each week and matches the current GraceLink Sabbath school curriculum used in local churches. GodLink is separated into two parts, one for those in primary Sabbath school (aged six to nine) and another for children in the junior Sabbath school (aged 10 to 12).

The Bible-study guide teaches children how to read the Bible, gives them prayer ideas and shows them ways to share God with others.

"GodLink has passages for the entire year and has been designed so it can easily fit into the Bible as a bookmark," says Julie Weslake, director of Children's Ministries for the Adventist Church in the South Pacific. "Parents can help their children use it as an extra resource to teach Bible-study skills and help them develop
the habit of reading the Bible."

"Follow the Bible" is an initiative sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist world church to stimulate a deeper interest in reading the Bible. It features a multi-language Bible travelling to countries around the world, aimed at encouraging people to recommit to a study of God's word.

The journey commenced in the Philippines on October 11, 2008, and will conclude at the opening of the Seventh-day Adventist world church business session in Atlanta, US, in July, 2010.

Parents who would like a copy of GodLink can contact their church's Sabbath school teacher or Children's Ministries department in their conference or mission.
