Do we understand what it means when we read it? How does the Bible apply to our lives? Bible Study Fellowship International provides you with the tools, the environment, the relationships, and the support you need to grow deeper in your knowledge and understanding of God and the Bible. This comprehensive inter-denominational Bible study program helps you gain a practical understanding of this important book. Held each week in 38 countries around the world, BSF International began in a California living room a half-century ago. BSF has grown to include compelling classes for women, men, young singles, and children all around the world. The heartbeat of BSF is the study of the Bible. And as your understanding of the Bible increases, you will find your relationship with God deepening. Why is it that we have this one book (and in most cases, many copies of it) on our shelves or coffee tables? Almost every person you ask would agree the Bible is an important book. Soldier's Lunch Bible Study Strong Bonds As members of the world’s premier fighting force, Army Soldiers sacrifice for our country every day, and so do their loved ones. Military life places extreme hardship on relationships, especially in wartime, so the Army – backed by Congress - has committed unprecedented resources to help Soldiers build stronger relationships through the Strong Bonds Program. Strong Bonds has specialized programs for single Soldiers, couples and families. Those Soldiers being deployed or redeployed can also learn special coping tactics. Strong Bonds empowers Soldiers and their loved ones with relationship-building skills, and connects them to community health and support resources. It is a holistic, preventative program committed to the restoration and preservation of Army families, even those near crisis. The program is initiated and led by the Army Chaplains. More than 90% of those who have attended the program rate it positively. With Strong Bonds, participants not only bond with their loved ones. They bond with other Army families, chaplains and the Army community as a whole. In turn, our Soldiers realize that they’re not in this alone. They have an entire Army of support, both on duty and off. Young Life Crazy About Kids   Young Life thinks the world of kids. We believe that they deserve to know what life can hold for them.
