Sunday School

This week was the first time that St. Nicholas Children’s Home had a Sunday School lesson. Usually the children faithfully (or begrudgingly) attend Bible Study that is led by an older peer. I attended the youngest class once before I became ill and was dismayed how it seemed that the children were not learning anything and were not having any joy in this time. The study was merely a reading of as much of the KJV Bible as possible in a half hour and if there was expounding it was not exactly theologically sound. (It was a 14 year old leading) Well, not wanting to just barge in and take over, I prayed that if God wanted me to teach these little ones He would make it possible. He did just that! The pastor saw a need for the children to receive instruction at their understanding level. Now Annelie and I will be teaching Sunday School each week. I ask that you send up a prayer for these little ones that the Life of Jesus we will teach to them will make Him seem real to them. I ask the Holy Spirit to make the words that we speak alive in their hearts and the message of the gospel to touch each one personally.
