*History of Scripture Union (SU):*
Scripture Union began in *England in 1867*, when *Josiah Spiers* shared the gospel with children in a fun and engaging way. He first gathered children in a home, and later, in a holiday beach setting, where he wrote *“God is Love”* in the sand and shared Bible stories.
From there, the movement grew. By the early 20th century, Scripture Union had spread to many countries around the world. It became known for its *Bible reading guides*, *school and youth ministry*, and *Christian camps*.
Today, SU is active in over *120 countries*, helping people, especially the youth, to *know God through the Bible and prayer*.
