Gospel Lab: 3D-Printed Lanterns in San Quintín

We’re especially thankful to Caleb Peterson, our Action International summer intern, for faithfully teaching the children and helping each of them create a lantern to take home.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.”
—Psalm 119:105 (ESV)

Today, we held two Gospel Lab classes at two different churches here in San Quintín, Baja California, Mexico, with more than 20 children participating. Praise God for His kindness and faithfulness!

The Gospel Lab is a hands-on discipleship ministry based in San Quintín, Baja California, Mexico. It is part of a summer program for children from the local churches with which we partner, as well as children from surrounding neighborhoods who are connected to those churches. The program combines biblical truth with technology to help children discover the beauty of Jesus.

Through engaging Bible lessons, Tinkercad design, and 3D printing, students learn that God created them with purpose, that sin has broken the world, and that Jesus came to rescue and restore His people through His life, death, and resurrection. Rather than simply teaching technology, the Gospel Lab uses creativity as a bridge to the gospel. It encourages children to grow in their knowledge of Christ while developing curiosity, problem-solving skills, and confidence—qualities that can serve them, their families, their churches, and their communities.
