Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship.

Week eleven

Only a few more weeks to go!   It has been a pleasure teaching your children this semester.   I hope they are growing hearts for others and telling them the good news of the gospel.  

This week we learned about Mozambique and how a church was not teaching the children.  They were not welcome there.  A young missionary went there and started a Sunday school for the children.   Every child needs the opportunity to hear about Jesus and know how much He loves them.  Pray that adults will understand the importance of children learning about Jesus.

We talked about how many people in Mozambique have not heard about Jesus.   Their lives are very hard there. Pray that He will provide the things they need to live healthy lives. 

We learned how special we are to Jesus especially children.  

Our memory verse this week is: "let the children come to me" Matthew 19:14

Some fun we had trying to balance a book on our heads like the people of Mozambique:

Week ten

We talked about the Amazon jungle in South America this post week.   We learned that there are around 50 tribes in the jungle who have never had contact with the outside world and thus have never heard about Jesus.  

We talked about how each of us has special tools and gifts that God has given us to use to spread the good news of grace, to reach out to others, to help them,  and sharing with them.

Our memory verse for this week is:
We have different gifts,  each according to the grave given to each of us.
Romans 12:6
