SU Resources

SU produces a range of home-grown Bible engagement tools for pre-school to adult readers. These include Closer to God, Khula (annual for teenagers), Khula Kids and Come Along. South Africa faces a dearth of morals and the word of God goes a long way in providing this much needed foundation.

At present all our materials are produced in book form but in the next few years we are hoping to embrace modern technology that is familiar with young people. Just imagine thousands of young people reading their Bible and devotional material on their cell!

Come Along

For the very young, this Bible-reading tool aims to help those learning to read, to learn to read God’s Word at the same time. Local is lekker – and this product (as with all of our Bible-reading tools) is fully indigenised.

It is geared for the 6-9 year olds and comprises a series of themes: Creation, Christmas, Easter, Amazing Jesus, Kings and Jesus’ Special Friends. Come Along books are available from SU Bookshops and Regional offices at R19.50

Khula Kids

Khula (a Zulu word meaning “to grow”) is a product aimed at helping our primary school children get growing spiritually, by starting a daily Bible-reading habit.

For our 9-12 year olds, Khula Kids is an undated series, with the first 2 having been completed already (Book 1 and Book 2). It synchronises with the Challenge to Grow tool used by Christian teachers in our school Christian groups. Khula Kids is available from SU Bookshops and Regional offices at R35.

Khula Teens

Building on the growth, Khula Teens is written by young South African Christian leaders. It deals with themes that hit the spot for teenagers and younger adults. This annual aims to speak uniquely to the needs of our southern African emerging leaders.

It is widely regarded as the Bible-reading note of choice for southern Africa. Khula Teens is available from SU Bookshops and Regional offices at R55.

Closer to God (SA)

Closer to God (SA) is a southern African Bible-reading annual for adults. Most people know about God, but few get to know Him in a personal and intimate way. Closer to God helps everyday southern Africans meet God daily through reading His Word.

This mixture of sequential and thematic readings is available at SU Bookshops and Regional offices at R60.

Challenge to Grow

Challenge to Grow is a new tool for teachers or volunteers running primary school Christian groups. It presents the group facilitator with ready-to-use sessions, produced by Megan Helsby, and based on Bible passages.

There are hundreds of suggested activities, divided into the following sections in each session: Connect, Content, Challenge to Change, Creative Ideas, Conversation Ideas and Checklist. Each session synchronises with readings from the Khula Kids books, hence the two should be used in tandem. Apart from school Christian groups, it is also suitable for Sunday School groups or other Bible groups.
