Make Room

Enlarge the site of your tent [to make room for more children]; stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not spare them; lengthen your tent ropes and make your pegs (stakes) firm [in the ground]. Isaiah 54:2 AMP

Many individuals, families and churches have been inspired by the words in Isaiah 54:2, particularly from the Amplified Bible phrasing to ‘make room for more children’, and this has prompted a response in them to explore how they can offer welcome, care and support to vulnerable children and young people. Home for Good is passionate about every one of us playing our part. How can we, the Church, make room for children and young people?

Make Room is a four-session Bible study resource created for individuals, small groups or whole churches who want to explore what their part could be. It’s a study for anyone, anywhere, who would like to dig a bit deeper into what the Bible has to say about the heart of God and how that so closely connects to finding a home for every child who needs one.

The resource consists of a leader guide, personal journal pages for each participant, a collection of short films containing teaching and real-life stories and a full online library of articles, stories and other useful links – all of which you can view and download below!

We hope you have everything you need to be able to deliver this Bible study with your group, but should you have any queries or issues, please contact [email protected] and one of the Home for Good team will be pleased to help you.
