Our
new church in Misiones has a mid-week Kids’ Club! We play games, eat snacks, make crafts, study
the Bible and memorize Bible verses.
Starting
a Kids’ Club is a challenge!- I never know how many children or what ages to
expect. Only 2 kids attended our first
class, but by the end of the month our class had grown to 9
(from the ages of 5
to 13!)
About
half of the children have had some previous exposure to the Bible and teaching
about Jesus, but all of them seem to have a great need for Christ in their
lives. Two of the boys arrived one day
bloody and winded after fighting with other boys on the street. A girl in the class expressed (in
words and
actions) hatred of other boys in the group.
My prayer is that the truth of God would transform their lives and
perspectives- even at their young age!
The
Lord has given me grace with the children- who now visit to greet me almost
daily at our church building. One
6-year-old even told his mother
that he no longer wanted to go to “the other
school” (elementary school), but from now on only wanted to attend kids’ club
classes J. May the children be equally attracted to
Jesus!
