Abstract
This thesis aims to develop a curriculum for educators in East Asia to enhance their ability to disciple children, starting with the creation of a textbook and followed by teaching the curriculum at an online camp. Pre- and post-surveys evaluated the effectiveness of the curriculum and equipped educators to engage in koinonia education with children. Chapter 1 provides the context of the project in one area of East Asia and presents the rationale, purpose, goals, research methodologies, and definitions. Chapter 2 establishes the theological foundation of koinonia education for children. Chapter 3 addresses the application of koinonia education in East Asia and the development of methodology. Chapter 4 details the implementation of the project, including the creation of the curriculum textbook, the design of pre- and post-camp surveys, and the online camp. Chapter 5 presents an evaluation of the project, with an in-depth analysis of survey data and an assessment of the project’s strengths and weaknesses. The chapter concludes with theological and personal reflections.
