Our church had a big reason
to celebrate last weekend- actually, 25 big reasons to celebrate! 25 children completed the discipleship
program “The Greatest Journey”, distributed through Samaritan´s Purse.
During twelve lessons,
these children learned the basics of faith in Christ: their Creator, loving
God, their sin,
their punishment, Christ´s sacrifice and salvation, how to live
as children of God, and the importance of sharing their faith with others.
Our graduation ceremony included the participation of each
graduating child: the recitation of a Bible verse by memory, the presentation
of a worship song, or
Bible lesson skit.
Each child proudly received their diploma and New Testament gift recognizing
their accomplishment, and then was celebrated with a potluck lunch afterwards.
The children´s families also attended the event- even
parents and family members who never attend
church! We pray that the children´s testimonies of
learning to follow Christ, as well as the Biblical message, touched their lives
to know Jesus Christ themselves.
