But before we dive into this topic, Bonnie, could you just tell people a little bit about yourself.Bonnie Rose: Sure, I'm Bonnie Rose Hudson. I run write bonnierose.com. I have a lot of different subject areas for most ages. You will not find, ever find high school math on my site. I'm sorry. That's just not my thing, but I have a lot of history, science, Bible, language arts, geography, a lot of things like I said, quite a few different topics for most ages. Some of the material is a full year curriculum, others is supplemental. I do a lot of freebies every year. So if you sign up for my newsletter, you can get a freebie, usually on average, every 2 weeks, sometimes more often than that, and I just enjoy making resources as fun and affordable and easy to use as I can.Personal Journey to the Persecuted ChurchKerry: I know I've seen a lot of them. It's been a few years since I've actually reviewed them, but I continue to see so much, and she really does have a wide range, and so wide that here we are talking about the persecuted church. So just out of curiosity, what drew you to learn more about this area?Bonnie Rose: Well, I've had an interest ever since I was young. I heard stories growing up, but I kind of I think I tended to compartmentalize it. I thought it only happened, maybe in China or, you know, maybe someplace deep in Africa. And one year over Easter, I started reading some of the stories about people dealing with persecution from different ministry newsletters, and such, and it just really started to grow into a burden on my heart. And I wanted to share what I was reading about with the kids that I was writing for in a way that was age appropriate and sensitive because so much of almost all of the media that I was consuming was targeted directly for adults, and it just included more information than you want to share with your 8 year old, for instance.The Scope of Christian Persecution TodayKerry: That's so interesting. And you know, I actually get a magazine called Voice of the Martyrs. And so it's very interesting. I've read some of their books, and we may even talk about some of those people, but I mean, those are current events, too. But yet it isn't always something that's appropriate for kids. So how widespread really is persecution for Christians today?Bonnie Rose: Well, according to Open Doors, in the last 30 years the number of countries where Christians are suffering high or extreme levels of persecution has almost doubled. There are at least 76 countries, and those are countries where it goes beyond harassment or inconveniences. This is full persecution. And it's because of some of the digital technology advancements, facial recognition, it's getting even harder and harder and harder for the underground church to operate, and for believers, especially from certain other religious backgrounds, to meet, to grow, to access the information that they need. On average, one in every 7 Christians in the world are currently facing persecution. That number increases to one in 5 in Africa and 2 in 5 Christians in Asia. The Joshua Project says between 65% and 70% of the world's population live in a country that's considered religiously restrictive. So it really is in every corner of the globe on every continent, in some or almost every continent, in some form or another.Understanding the Underground ChurchKerry: That is just amazing, one in 7, and then it gets even smaller, depending on where you are in the world. And you mentioned the underground church. Could you just sort of describe or tell people what you mean by that?Bonnie Rose: Sure, in the United States and in many other countries, it's not surprising at all to walk down the street and see a church, you know. I live in a very small town, and there's at least a half a dozen churches, probably within a 5 mile radius of my house, you know there's an abundance of churches. The Underground church is just a generic term related to people who can't meet openly. Sometimes they will meet discreetly. Maybe in a coffee shop. Sometimes it has to go even further than that. I remember reading about one country in the Middle East, and they said, if you have 8 or 10 people over to your apartment on December 25th, your neighbors know that there's probably something going on for Christmas, so you don't dare get together on Christmas to celebrate Christmas, so maybe you wait. Maybe your child has a birthday, February second, so maybe you have 10 or 12 people over to celebrate a birthday. But oh, by the way, we're actually celebrating Christmas. But no one outside that apartment knows that, you know. So it's very, and it depends on what part of the world in Saudi Arabia. Even that much would could very easily lead to death. It's just so sometimes people have no contact with other Christians, possibly only one person, maybe the person that led them to faith. But it's just the underground church is just any church that has to meet off the radar kind of off the grid.Kerry: It makes so much sense. I have a friend. Well, one of my very best friends, her son he's in his well, he's 1 year older than my daughter, 37, and he lives in well, he lives in a country. I won't mention it because I wouldn't want anyone to put the dots together, but as a business person and they have a company that teaches English to these people. And so that's sort of how they've been able to enter in there as well, and she's still they're still able to go over and visit and everything so. But it's open. They, you know, God still uses that.Age-Appropriate Sharing StrategiesKerry: Well, yeah, you know you think about persecution. And yes, I mean, there's even persecution. Let's be honest of Christians here today, because it's not the politically correct thing. But we're talking like bodily harm and other things, and messing with your mind. How do you sort of dive into sharing these kinds of stories with kids in an age appropriate way?Bonnie Rose: I think one of the keys is to filter through the information first. It's not usually a good idea to let the kids read it or view it at the same time. You should always kind of filter it, and another word of warning. If there's a type of persecution, a type of crime, a type of, say assault that is, that you know if you read about it, you're going to have nightmares. It's going to haunt you. Don't feel like you have to read it. There's more than enough information out there for you to read, consume, and share with your kids. Don't, because it's too easy for the enemy to then use that to push you completely out of sharing it all. You know, if you're constantly reading stories that are giving you nightmares eventually, you're probably going to pull back and not share any at all. So be careful when you consume it. If there's a story that bothers you, put it prayerfully, put it away and move on to the next story. God will use you, and he's I don't think he's calling most of us to go through that kind of emotional trauma for ourselves. Like I said, there are so many other ways you can share. So as you go through the material, look for ways that you can connect what these people are feeling to your kids. Everybody knows what it's like to be hungry. I mean, how many times do kids say, I'm starving? Well, okay, they probably aren't, because they probably just had a snack 2 hours ago. But you know, so talk about it's not uncommon in Laos, for example, they villages will drive you from your home and you can live in the jungle. Well, you know, I mean, it doesn't take much imagination to think that living in a jungle where nobody else lives probably isn't easy, you know. You can't farm you can't. You probably have wild animals to deal with?Bonnie Rose: If you're living in a place no one else lives. There's usually a reason no one else is living there. So look for things like that. They're hungry. Somebody's cold. They don't have the clothes they need. Maybe they lost their home. Maybe all they have is a tent, or, you know, maybe they're just trying to find shelter under a tree somewhere. You know they're wet when it rains. All of those things. They're scared. They don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. They don't always know if their family will stay together, and that's something you have to be a little bit more careful talking to your kids about depending on the emotional makeup of your child. But it's something that you know. All kids know what it's like to miss a parent, or a sibling or a loved one because of any kind of separation going, you know, work, any any situation, maybe a sickness. Well, sometimes these kids don't know when they're going to see their parents again, or even if they're going to see their parents again, or their siblings or aunts, uncles, etc. So you know, you can look at those things that they have in common with your kids, and then kind of extrapolate from there. Talk about what they can understand. You can tell them that someone was hurt or beat up. You don't have to go into every detail on how you don't have to describe every injury or torture, or things like that for the kids to understand that something hurt, that they're scared, that they're cold, that they're wet, that they're hungry. All those things your kids can understand without all of the details.Protecting Adults and ChildrenKerry: That's so good. First, I want to go back to what you said at the beginning about adults, because there are times sometimes I actually was reading a book that my friend Andrew Pudewa recommended 2 years ago, and it wasn't necessarily about persecution. It is the first book I ever not that had nightmares, but I actually had to put it down for a little bit, because it was talking about the totalitarianism from Communists. And we're seeing it in the United States today, and it just sort of made me a little nervous, especially with my kids. And so I really appreciate your honesty and just saying adults, we need to protect ourselves now. We don't need to be blind to everything, but we do need to protect ourselves and our heart, and that was one of the times I actually put the book away. You know, I did pick it back up. And I started praying for people a lot based on that book.Bonnie Rose: So I think I may have actually read the same book and had the same experience. I tended to read before I went to bed, and I can't read this before I go to bed. It was too much. It was just too much.Kerry: It really was well, it but it opened my eyes a lot, too. Okay? So then the details, you know, all kids are different, like, for instance, my son was able to watch some boy movies sooner than my girls, because my girls would have nightmares when they were 8 right. And they're like, why does he get to watch? Well? And we would talk about it, because it doesn't affect him the same. Now, I'm not trying to do a gender thing or anything, but that was just a fact about our family. And so we had to really watch that type of thing, you know, and I want to share just quickly last summer, because I do superheroes of the Faith, and some of them are historical. But I started on Sunday night about a man from the Middle East, and it was a story I had read, and I'm telling this story. He's a Muslim that comes to Christ, and I mean the man is shot like 2 times, and he's thrown off a cliff, and you're just like, how is he still alive? You know. Now, I didn't share all the details. I didn't have time for that, but still I wouldn't. Depending on my kids. I may not share all the details of exactly what went on, because some of it was more detailed than what I'm telling you right now, I guess right? So I think that is wise. So appreciate that.Bonnie Rose: And I think, adults. We all have our different thresholds. My sister and I both read Christian fiction. She will read like the CSI style Christian fiction, and she'll be like, oh, this book was good. You wouldn't like it like she'll. She'll just tell me, because she can read that and put it away. And it's fine, and I read that, and I'm like, Oh, my goodness, like, you know. Like all of a sudden, I'm scared to go to Walmart, you know, like, so you know, it's just. It's just different personalities and different emotional makeups. God put us all. She has a very different day job than I do, so you know. Her emotional makeup fits her line of work and and mine would not work in her line of work. Very well. So so it's just. It's just the way that God made us, each for a reason. There's no better, worse, you know, kind of a thing about it. It's just different.Resources for StoriesKerry: That's so good. So let me ask you a question, and you may have some of these, but we're talking about stories. Where could someone go and find these stories? I don't know if you have some that you use specifically with the products that you put out, or if you have books or anything that you might recommend.Bonnie Rose: There used to be, and I'll include it in the handout. There used to be a beautiful site called Kids of Courage, and it was actually kind of like the Junior. The kids version of Voice of the Martyrs, and it was published by Voice of the Martyrs, and it was a beautiful site, and sometimes it would have the exact same story that the Voice of the Martyrs Newsletter had but tailored for kids. And I loved it, and for whatever reason they shut it down several years ago, and it's no longer available as a live website. But you can find it through the website archives. So I have some links and instructions in the handout to help you find that it takes a little bit of work and patience to find the stories, because all the features of the website don't work anymore. But it's really helpful. So I've enjoyed that written for kids. There's some of the the classic books like Christian Heroes Then and Now those series have some really good topics. The Generations curriculum also has explored some of those, and then I've tried to incorporate some that I have learned and rewritten for kids in my curriculum as well.Kerry: That's so interesting. And as you were talking, there's another book that I don't know if you're familiar with, called Triumph and Trials, or Trials and Triumph. I don't know what it's a word like that. We'll put that there, but it is. It starts back in Greece or Roman time, and then just goes through time periods, and the stories we would read them out loud and like one of them was Blandina, who was killed during the ancient Roman times. And again, that may not, even though it's in a kid's book. It may not be because she was like thrown out into the Coliseum over and over, and she'd come back and just encourage these people to just stay strong in the faith. And she's very young and a woman, and so there are other, and then you go to the Middle Ages. But then we move even into the current age as well.Bonnie Rose: Right that just popped in my head, I really think that's great.Incorporating into Homeschool SubjectsKerry: So. Okay, so we talked about, maybe some resources how to handle this. What can parents do to incorporate this idea about the persecuted church and bringing this to life, to their kids into what they're doing in their homeschool?Bonnie Rose: There's a lot of different ways. You can incorporate it into almost any subject. Some are natural fits. Bible, for instance. I mean, obviously, there's the verses about persecution. There's an abundance of examples about persecution, and you can talk about. Why would God let this happen? You know? And I because I think that's a big question for kids, and to be honest for adults. Why, why, we know he can stop it. We all love Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. But what about the times that they weren't delivered, you know. And so then you can go to the story of somebody like Joseph. He couldn't see the end of the story. I would imagine that he prayed many times he sold, I mean, he didn't want to be a slave in another country. He didn't, certainly didn't want to be put into prison. All of those things, and and even the life of the Lord, things didn't. God didn't deliver him from the cross in the way that that if it were you or me. We would be hoping for at that time, you know, in place, so so that you can look, explore the question of why and examples, and how we can see that God works through them, even when the even when the end of the story, as far as what our physical eyes can see, doesn't look the way we wanted it to look.Bonnie Rose: There's ways you can sign up online for prayer requests for persecuted Christians, for unreached peoples as well, I'll put some links in in the handout, but then there's other. You can do it with language arts. There are ways you can send letters to persecuted Christians that are in jail. And I'll include a link. History and geography are obviously natural fits. You've got the environment, the historical time period, some persecution today actually dates back to historic events that maybe ostracized a group of people. So you can. You can explore those geographies. Obviously. You know, readily apparent science you can talk about. Okay. So if a family doesn't have access to clean water, what does that mean? I mean, we completely take clean water for granted. We have filters on our spigots and on our water jugs and everywhere. But if you didn't have clean water, what does that look like? What does that cause what you know. I mean the fact that children die from diarrhea still staggers my mind. I mean, it's just. It's unthinkable. It's unfathomable. So you can talk about the science again, depending on how old your kids are. They could do a research report on the effects of drinking unclean water, you know, or or malnutrition. You know anything like that. Science for little ones can often be fun, because if you're talking about a country, especially something exotic in Asia, like China or Laos or Vietnam. Talk about the animals that live there. There are all kinds of amazingly cool animals that live in some of these countries that we never think about. You know, in the United States or in Canada, Australia, you know some of the some of the different countries that many of your viewers are probably from you can even work it into math. Math is a little trickier, but you could have your kids, especially if they're a little bit older. They could do reports on statistics.Bonnie Rose: You know how different people groups, different majority religions different, you know. And if it says only 1% of a population are Christians. What does that mean? How many people is that? And how many people does that mean? Are not Christian? Or how many people have died for their faith in Christ. You know, you can look at statistics that way. You can also just do basic statistics like, compare the size of 2 countries or the population of 2 countries, you know you can pull it into that, or you can do math for little kids. You can do it in recipes. If you're learning about Bangladesh find a Bengali recipe online and and make it. And so you've got your teaspoons and tablespoons, and you've got your ready-made math lesson right there in the kitchen, so you can do all of those different things to just make the places more real and more relatable, and and something that the kids can can understand, instead of just a random name on a map that you know they may or may not have even heard of before.Practical Applications and ActivitiesKerry: That's so good. I was just thinking you said one in 7 are persecuted in the world. There's a math problem right there like to come up with the actual number, like, based on whatever the total of people there are that they say there are right now, and the other thing you mentioned recipes. Then I go to my favorite thing, and that's eat your way through school. And so why not make some food based on the country that you're looking for is when you're going to learn a lot more about it, and we used to where I got it. I don't know if it's from Compassion. But I would get a little recipe book with some of the recipes from the area where we supported a child. So Compassion has had some great resources. They have a program. It's called Kate and Mac, I believe, and they'll send out. Yes, like the sorry. Go ahead. Tell them about it.Bonnie Rose: No, no, that's fine, but it'll have recipes and games and stories, and I love Kate and Mac. I think they have lots of great stuff.Kerry: Yeah, I bet my grandkids. If y'all want to know I'm recording this while I'm babysitting. Well, I'm not babysitting at this moment, but upstairs are their books, and I think I bought that book, or there was a book of something like that that is up there around the world. The other thing you mentioned was the prayer and the history and geography. Okay, I'm gonna put a shameless plug by the time you hear this, you know, we've got a prayer group with 5 countries of places that are persecuted. Well, I don't know exactly how persecuted, but homeschooling isn't legal, and so they're especially Christian homeschooling, and I just got the countries yesterday. I don't know them off the top of my head but you also in your Members area. There's a little book in there with prayer requests, letter writing, and then you could take those ideas and put them into wherever you're studying the persecuted church as well. Just thought.Bonnie Rose: Anything else you want to say, that's great. Yeah, yeah, it's exciting. Stephen Policastro has just been so helpful, and every year he, you know, he goes. Let's wait till about first of July and come up with where God's working, and they're not all persecuted. Usually one or 2 of those countries. There are praises for what God is doing. So I think that's also something we need to realize that. Yes, we want to pray for them. But we also need to look at how God is actually answering some of our prayers as well.Kerry: Absolutely.Helping Kids Take ActionKerry: How could moms help their kids have an impact or make a difference?Bonnie Rose: One of the things that struck me as I started reading the newsletters years back, was that I'm the kind of person who needs an outlet for what's going in. And so it struck me that there are probably many kids with a similar emotional makeup, and they need to do something. Because if you just read about the problems and don't take action. It can be very depressing and discouraging, because and like you said, it's also very important to balance it with the praise. I think that's wonderful. I think you definitely need to keep both both types of stories flowing. Because if you don't, it just you miss out on a lot of what God is doing around the world. The numbers of people coming to faith in completely unexpected places is just off the charts, and it's exciting and so very exciting. And so kids can do whatever it work. However, they're wired. They can build things with play-doh or plastic blocks, or they can do something on the computer. They can share the presentation with anyone. It can just be their family. If you're not plugged into a bigger community, let them put a presentation together and share it with you all because you're going to grow in your understanding as they share it. And you're also going to bond with your child, as you see how God is moving in their heart, what's standing out to them about something? They can share it with their Sunday school, with their Co-OP, with their neighbors, with. However, your dynamic, whatever your dynamic is.Bonnie Rose: They can share it. They can write about it. They can draw a picture about it. They could cook food and share it with somebody you could throw. You could throw a youth group party, and you know, and work through it that way. So, however, they're wired, whatever they love doing, you can find a way to to incorporate that if they build things on some of the different computer programs where you build various cities and worlds. They could build one about what they're learning. You know. There's there's literally no end to what they could come up with.Kerry: I love that, too, because that sounds like a hands-on project based on what they are, because even some kids like my one of the granddaughters that's coming home pretty soon. She loves to act and sing and like. Oh, she'll drag us up there, and they got an hour long presentation, and they got it all fixed up there and everything but you know, for some, and so she'll even write it all out. And for some kids it's like, No, thank you. Give me like her mom was like made a life size teepee one time. And so it's all this kind of thing. But I love your ideas because you go into where their strengths are. So that's awesome. I appreciate that.Contact InformationKerry: This is awesome. Let me just ask you, because I know people are going to want to follow up. How could people get hold of you, and do you have any like? Where could they find your resources and connect with you?Bonnie Rose: Sure, the best place to connect is through my website. It's write bonnierose.com. You can also email me anytime. It's just write
[email protected]. So those 2 ways are the most reliable ways. I am on social media, Facebook, Pinterest, etc. But I'm not on there as much as probably as I could be. So it's a little bit more hit and miss there. So like, I said the website, I have curriculum there that I've written also some free blog posts and materials there, and some different types of resources to try to help. And then again, in the handout that comes with this workshop, there'll be links to a lot of what we discussed and ways you can follow up. There's also some craft sites that you can use to kind of incorporate crafts into your hands on projects.Kerry: That is awesome. Well, wherever you're listening to this, just look below this video and there'll be a text box one. The handout will be there and then 2, some of the links, the website, that type of thing we will. Hyperlink that so that all you have to do is click the link below, and you can make it and go find Bonnie Rose as well. So all right.Bonnie Rose's Personal StoryKerry: Have a quick question. If you were to come back, and if you were to start all over homeschooling or persecuted church, or whatever in with your as a parent, is there anything that you would do differently. Put you on the spot.Bonnie Rose: Wow! Well, actually, there's a strange story there. I sadly. I am not a parent. I am a homeschool author. But the Lord did not see wisdom to arrange for a spouse and children of my own. Which, of course, I was certain I just learned something. Yeah, okay, keep going. So so my story is kind of kind of unique. I have always loved children. I mean, when I was 12, 20, 22. Okay, even 32. I was sure I was going to have someone. Now I'm 44. And so here I am pretty sure that that has ruled, been ruled out. But that's okay. Because what God has done in the years preceding I worked on becoming a writer. I worked in various office jobs and such, you know, as far as paying the bills and all that sort of thing goes. But along the way I was working on learning to become a writer. I wrote some books for adults. They are not published. I wrote some books for children. One of them actually did get published by Journey Forth Press part of BJU so I wrote books, and as I was doing that then, as I was learning about the persecuted church, the 2 came together, I went to a homeschool conference one year at the suggestion of someone I had met in a writer's group, and she said, there is so much educational material out there. I think you'd be a great fit, she said. Go see what's going on.Bonnie Rose: And I thought, Wow, that sounds awesome, because I feel like I was like unofficially, half like part-time homeschooled. My mom created everything, and we would school like all summer long. And then I went to a small Christian school during the actual school year, but also, I mean, she customized, go to the head of the class with questions. From whatever we had learned that year we had, I mean we. So I was. We were always learning, and she I live in Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania back in the eighties was extraordinarily restrictive, and she actually did consider homeschooling, but without the Internet and the Co-OP resources, and that she was not comfortable taking that leap. So we like, I said, we went to a small private Christian school instead. But I think my mom was a born teacher, and so we just she incorporated learning and everything. So when we went my mom was just as excited as I was. She says, oh, my goodness! I could have used that when you girls were small I could. I made something like that, you know, and so we were looking at everything, and it was just fantastic. So I kind of when I was there. I signed up with a homeschool website who was looking for writers. And then I started creating homeschool material from them. I worked for them for a number of years, and then kind of went out on my own with my website and creating homeschool materials I have. I've tested it out with numerous kids. I am an honorary aunt to 2 amazing boys who have challenged my idea of I mean, I thought all kids like to color. But apparently that's just not the thing. So so they have challenged me to create and inspired some resources along the way, too. So yeah, I'm kind of a non homeschooled single gal who has never been happier in my life than creating material for parents in the Christian homeschool world. So whatever I can do to support to support you is what I want to be doing.Closing PrayerKerry: Thank you so much. First of all, thank you for what you're doing. Thank you for being so transparent about your story, and I just appreciate hearing that. And so, anyway, I just really appreciate that. And I just hope that God will bless you as well. I sometimes do this sometimes I don't. But we're going to pray right now. Is that all right?Bonnie Rose: Absolutely.Kerry: Before we close? I meant to. I keep meaning to do that at the beginning, and I've only prayed like on 2 or 3 of the interviews, because I keep forgetting. So as you were talking, it's like we're going to pray right now. So all right. Thanks. Oh, Father in Heaven, thank you for today. Thank you just for all the Bonnie has shared about the persecuted church, and we just lift up. I mean, I cannot even imagine how many people it is. Anyone beyond my little small group is unimaginable when I talk to you, and yet you know everyone that's living here on this earth, and I pray that you will protect them. You will give them courage and strength to stay faithful to you, that you will continue to draw more and more people into to your family, and that you will use these people that are in the persecuted church to to just be witnesses for you and that they will just be a picture of your love, and I pray that more areas would be open. You would just change governments and leaders to where they would open up these areas that are closed to Christianity. And just pray that you would continue to to share your gospel, your good news that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Thank you so much for Bonnie. I just pray that you will give her an extra blessing for sharing these ideas, and pray for each mom that's listening, or dad that you would just use this and help their families and their kids to be able to make a difference with what you are doing. It's in Jesus name, we pray. Amen.Bonnie Rose: Thank you.Kerry: Thank you. Well, I appreciate it. Carving time out of your day just to be with us.
