This 4-week, gospel-centered curriculum helps elementary-aged children see how God delights in using the unlikely—people others might overlook—to accomplish His purposes. From shepherd boys to unlikely heroes, these Bible stories highlight God’s power and grace, not human strength or status.

Perfect for Sunday school, children's church, midweek programs, or homeschool Bible lessons, this engaging study reminds kids that God can use anyone who trusts Him—even them!

🔍 What Kids Will Learn:

• God chooses the unlikely (David – 1 Samuel 16)
• God helps the unlikely (Gideon – Judges 6–7)
• God calls the unlikely (Mary – Luke 1)
• God saves through the unlikely (Jesus – Isaiah 53)

Each lesson includes engaging Bible teaching, interactive activities, memory verses, gospel connections, and creative application ideas to help kids understand that God uses the weak to display His strength and Jesus is the ultimate "Unlikely" Savior.
