\u201cEvery tongue, every tribe, every people, every land, giving glory, giving honor, giving praise unto the Lamb of God\u201d This part of the praise \u201cHallelujah to the Lamb\u201d portrays the important participation of all churches in Brazil and outside the sound doctrine that emerges from the Word of God, the Bible, through the weekly teachings of the Sunday Bible School (EBD)<\/strong> of the Maranatha Christian Church (MCC).<\/p>\n

Since March 2020, MCC\u2019s digital services have been broadcast on YouTube due to social distancing. EBD has also been held on this platform, on Sundays, at 10 am, with live transmission, in which the answers to the questions studied during the week are displayed. The EBD is based on biblical teachings revealed by God, published in magazine articles by the Science and Faith group of MCC and also featured on the weekly television program \u201cAnnouncing the Eternal Gospel\u201d<\/strong>.\u00a0 It is worth highlighting the relevant participation of youth from Brazil and abroad in the EBD, sending videos with the answers to biblical questions and complementary revelations for the benefit of teaching.<\/p>\n

Youth are better prepared to face arguments against the Bible<\/h2>\n

According to information provided by Pastor Gilson Souza, who presents the answers of the EBD, an audience of over 100 thousand youth is estimated at MCC in total. \u201cIn one week, we have received around 300 responses to questions from EBD, coming from churches in 20 to 25 states of the Federation (Brazil), in addition to almost 30 foreign countries. Over 50% of these participations are from youth groups<\/strong> \u201d, added Pastor Gilson. This significant participation of young people is due to the ease of assimilating the subjects of the biblical themes studied. \u201cIn addition, youth have been awakened by the current issues related to Science and Faith, having a deeper knowledge of the Word and preparing themselves better to face arguments against the Bible in schools and universities\u201d, pointed out Gilson.<\/p>\n

The participation of youth in EBD happens on a voluntary basis. Each church digitally gathers its youth to unify the responses and send the contribution on the MCC website, identifying the name of the church, the responsible pastor and the participants. \u201cOther times they send videos, in which they record their responses and, when they come from other countries, the youth send them in the local languages of those countries\u201d, described Pastor Gilson.<\/p>\n

The Maranatha Christian<\/strong> Mission<\/strong> (MICM), which coordinates and assists pastors sent to MCC evangelistic missions in different areas of Brazil and abroad, also spoke about the importance of the participation of youth and other members in EBD. \u201cThe participation of young people in EBD has been very important, demonstrating the interest and scope of the doctrine taught. The doctrine confirms the walk of the servant, marks his way and is a remedy for the spiritual life. EBD is a secret in the life, in the servant’s walk with the Lord. The servant who loves EBD and we can include Maanaim, because both deal with doctrine, has a firmer and healthier walk in the presence of the Lord \u201d, reiterated Pastor Jo\u00e3o Cidade, president of the Maranata Christian Mission.<\/p>\n
