Fetal Development Models and Tearpad

The two sides of the Fetal Development sheet (shown below) are perfect resources for teaching your children, grandchildren, and the Sunday school kids about how God creates their bodies while they're "in their Mommys' tummies." When children learn God's truths at young ages, they will not fall victim to those who claim that the unborn are "clumps of cells" or "not human."

The Bible's Teaching on Marriage and Family is an excellent resource for congregations and each family could be helped by reading and sharing this short booklet.
