How It All Started?
In the challenging year of 2020, the pandemic cast a shadow over the ability of churches to gather and organize evangelism initiatives. Yet, in the midst of restrictions, the power of digital technology emerged, enabling churches to adapt and devise new strategies to reach people during this period. Thus, the conception of the Creatures, Teach Us Campaign—a testament to resilience and creativity born in the crucible of the pandemic.
Church members and volunteers, including children and their families, demonstrated remarkable dedication and unity in championing this project. They understood the importance of their mission: to continue sharing their faith and values with their community, even when physical gatherings seemed impossible.
The initial seasons of the campaign, Seasons 1 and 2, involved the distribution of family packs accompanying each episode. These packs were carefully curated to offer parents engaging activities for their children. They started with printables, but as time unfolded, organizers recognized the need for a more dynamic and interactive approach. They were determined to move beyond the confines of paper-based activities.
The "Creatures, Teach Us!" program found a dedicated YouTube following, amassing thousands of enthusiastic viewers. The series not only achieved digital success but also played a pivotal role in reshaping perspectives on faith within the Singaporean community. By delving into the profound teachings derived from God's creation and applying them to real-life scenarios, the show consistently motivated and uplifted its audience.
“What truly sets "Creatures, Teach Us!" apart is its unique ability to bridge generational gaps and encourage active involvement in ministry,” said Pastor Johnny Kan, president and communication director of the Adventist Church in Singapore. “It provides a distinctive platform for parents and children to learn and share the gospel together,” Kan added.
Looking Ahead!
The Adventist Media Team in Sinagpore is thrilled to announce plans for the 2024 campaign—an innovative card game called "Go Creatures!" featuring the program's beloved mascots. In an era characterized by digital saturation, this analog bonding experience is a refreshing departure from screens and devices. It offers children a unique opportunity to connect with their families, creating meaningful relationships in a tangible, hands-on way.
The vision extends beyond the boundaries of church communities. Organizers pray that the "Go Creatures!" will capture the hearts of parents and families throughout the wider community, acting as a bridge that connects Singaporean families with our church members.
The Creatures, Teach Us Campaign is a testament to the enduring spirit of faith, adaptability, and the unwavering commitment to establishing connections, even in the face of adversity. For the latest updates and to be among the first to experience the new season, follow Hope Channel Singapore on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
Prepare to embark on a faith-filled journey with "Creatures, Teach Us!" Season 3, as it continues to inspire families and children with the wonders of nature and valuable life lessons, available to all who seek them.
