Better and Better

Today, Vee and I had help from Tony as we ventured out into the slums again. And we were a bit better prepared. I had been given enough warning that I knew I would be teaching a short Bible lesson, so I prepared to tell the kids about the widow and the lost coin. I found a coloring book page on line that illustrated the story and we printed off a batch to take with us. The kids really got into the story and loved that the coloring page had to do with the story we had just heard. Almost all of them could tell you the main part of the story, using their coloring page.

Good thing we were better prepared, too. Incredibly, there ended up being twenty nine kids at Ja Rurat today! The numbers have been growing very, very fast. And this afternoon, I noticed several parents sitting nearby watching with approval, so I am hoping we are seeing doors open with the adults.

The kids were very anxious to show off their work!



Well... MOST of them were.

Kids are kids the world over. This photo could be taken in almost any town in America. Boys being boys.

Tony lines them up to receive their snacks afterward. It looked like a sea of kids if you were there! Good stuff. God stuff!
