Each weekly lesson includes an International Bible Lesson, an English Lesson for Teachers (ESL/TEFL), and an English Lesson for Students (self-directed). Learn and teach the Bible and English through Scripture-based lessons for churches, classes, homes, and learners around the world.
Free Bible-based Cowboy Stories
We also offer family-friendly cowboy stories and legacy International Bible Lessons at the Roaring Rapids Ranch.
Some of the stories illustrate biblical teachings and Christian practices that encourage the spiritual growth of cowboys such as Eli, Hank, and Morgan with help from Old Man Caldwell, Mary, and Jake. Jake even carries “Give Away Bibles,” which he calls his GABs.
Our simple stories are written to entertain, encourage, and help readers think biblically about living with love, courage, kindness, generosity, honesty, forgiveness, friendship, and faith in our world just as Jesus and His disciples lived faithfully in theirs.
Free English Lessons (ESL) and Tutor Lessons (TESL)
For those interested in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) through a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) approach, we offer 50 lessons for tutors and students. We also provide self-study lessons and student workbooks based on the 50 stories from the Roaring Rapids Ranch. Readers can listen to the stories while following the written text. Teachers may also read or play the stories for their classes using a smartphone. The ranch includes legacy International Bible Lessons from the most recent series, illustrated by situations similar to those faced by the cowboys at Roaring Rapids Ranch.
