Mobile classroom presents students with teachings on "fear, forgiveness and rejection to help children discover how Jesus is relevant today."

(United Kingdom)—An Inspire U.K. report reveals that thousands of schoolchildren will benefit from the makeover of a high-tech mobile classroom that teaches students about Jesus.

Called the GSUS Live mobile classroom, it visits secondary schools throughout the country and is staffed by volunteers from local churches who "present teachings on fear, forgiveness and rejection to help the children discover how Jesus is relevant today."

Since it was launched in 2000, GSUS has reportedly drawn 365,000 students.

Steve Parry, project coordinator for the mobile classroom, said, "We wanted the refurbishment to not only update the pod and provide routine maintenance, but to keep the 'wow' factor for visiting students."

One volunteer added, "It was great to show the [children] Christianity is not boring but very much relative today."
