Spin-off Assemblies
TalkBack

Props and Resources

You will need to create a way in which you are comfortable to take these assemblies. Somehow the concept of phoning people in the Bible needs to be brought to life. You need a phone of some sort that appears in every assembly. You can either use a toy or obsolete phone, or a real mobile phone. It can be fun, and helps the concept along, if you design a special Bible phone, that looks different from a normal phone:


Introducing the new BAP (Bible Adventure Phone)

Technology Using the new BAP Technology, it is possible to talk to any of the characters from the Bible. The transmitter sends its signals down through the ages and into the Bible lands. All you need is the special Bible Top Box and you can call those heroes and heroines of old using your normal phone. Finding a phone directory for Israel in the year 3400 BC may be a bit of a problem. If so, why not make up a special directory for this series. You could call it 'Golden Pages'.
