INTRODUCTION


 ROCKETRY IN SCRIPTURE? Well, yes and no.

God's precious word – our Bible, doesn't mention rockets, hard drives, cell phones, cars, airplanes, or spaceships. Instead, God's word fills a higher purpose by giving us PRINCIPLES by which we can use all the gifts He has given us, in fun safe ways that honor Him and fulfill the Great Commission in Matthew 28.

This Space Pathfinders eduventure series is based on scripture and its heaven-sent promise and guaranteed success in preparing every generation in 'all good works'. Specifically, 2nd Timothy 3:16, 17 tell us where scripture has come from, what it's about, how to use it, and the guaranteed results.

== All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. ==

Within that promise, the Space Pathfinders story series uses a rocketry flavored clubhouse of preteens, led by a silver-haired missionary from a quite different generation for several purposes:

  1. to show God’s Written Word to be as irreplaceable and timely in our technology driven world today, as it was when written. (as promised in 2nd Timothy 3:16, 17)
  2. Show fun, non-technical ways to use rocketry facts and techniques to share one’s faith and message, even by preschoolers, from backyards, basements, and jungle clearings. (as commanded in Matthew 28:19, 20)
  3. To provide teaching tools that build upon the gender and generation diversities that scripture commands us to coexist in unity; as in our bodies of bone and blood, and our bodies of believers. (as directed in John 17)
  4. Accent the service of our silver-haired mentors as their potential is so terribly under-used in this technology age. (as directed in Job 32:7)
