You can use our God’s Supply Chain to track everything we have, everything we use, everything we eat back to God
God’s Supply Chain to You
Here are 3 examples of how God is the source of everything we have:
A cotton Tee Shirt
GOD > Makes the cotton seeds grow > the farmer or his helpers pick the cotton >
The weavers make cloth from cotton threads > Garment makers make the tee shirt >
The wholesaler or retail store sells the tee shirt > You or your mom buys the tee shirt.
A turkey or chicken
GOD > Made the first chicken and turkey > the farmer provides a place for chickens and turkeys to grow and have families the butcher kills and cleans the chicken or turkey and prepares it for the grocery store> The store sells it to you or your mom.
New Paper
God gave us trees > trees are cut down by lumberjacks and sent to tree mills where trees may be cleaned and cut into boards > that tree mill sends some of the wood scrap to a paper mill where they make the paper. (Sometimes a paper mill will use small whole trees).{A little more aside about one way of paper making - where the millers make pulp – a mushy wood soup! The mill flattens the mushy pulp and lets it dry out to become a sheet or roll of paper.} > The mill sells the paper to wholesales/retail stores> you or your mom buys paper.
Instructions:
1. Take one copy of the Supply chain on the next page and talk through one of the above chains completing the links with the red words as you go along (one step or person in each link) to show the class. 2. Now try the next one and see if they “get it”. 3. Use your list below and have them discuss it together as a class.
Think about 3 or 4 other things you would like to track back to God. This is a good class discussion project as the collective minds of several children may be able to provide some of the information in the chain, but everyone can have their own supply chain to complete.
All things come from God – Some are easier to understand than others!
