The Book of Daniel
MISSIO KIDS CURRICULUM
The book of Daniel is primarily about how God’s people can live in His kingdom in the midst of a culture trying to rule with human kingdoms. Pray that we as a church, our kids included, will learn to love our culture while remaining faithful to our true King.
