God Called Abraham Bible Craft

This simple compass craft will help children learn about Abraham’s faith and obedience to God’s call and remind kids that God is our guide no matter where we may be. God has things He wants to do with all people, but He desires that we trust Him. This craft will help kids realize and remember later on that God provides direction for us as we trust Him.
