American History Lessons

Laura and YuHua

If history isn't an amazing way to begin a great conversation about purpose, meaning, and faith then I've completely misinterpreted great lessons from our fathers and grandfathers! Which is very much possible. Laura and I love to bless our students with a meaningful and unique activity for each holiday throughout the year and for Christmas we visited Greenfield Village. This experience made for a wonderful time of relationship building. Just three of our international friends were available to come, but that made it more personal.

For those of you who are unaware, Greenfield Village is an historic village where actors are paid to dress, speak, work, cook, and generally live as though it was the late 1800's up to around the 1920's. Visitors are able to explore the village, about 4 city blocks in size, and interact with the inhabitants (actors) as they display their lives, food, and work for all to see. There are many questions to be answered when learning about American history, some of which even have specifically to do with faith in God and Jesus Christ.


Thank YOU for making this experience possible, and for helping us to dive deeper in relationship with our students in order to build bridges and stumble upon new topics important for building a foundation of faith.
