"This is the Word which by the Gospel is Preached to You." 1 Peter 1:25b
These hands and Bible belong to a 25-year high school Language Arts teacher who is preparing for a summer mission trip to West Virginia where she and the group pictured below plan to teach boys and girls how they can have a relationship with the living God.
REAL LIFE Missions Training led by Doug Estes equips teams for teaching children's Bible clubs -- this team from Meadow Baptist Church is going to West Virginia.
A major thrust of the training is learning how to present the Gospel message clearly showing children the way to their savior Yeshua/Jesus. Bibles are prepared with colored tape for ready reference and a counseling tool is used to ask thought-provoking questions to make sure each child understands that he is a sinner and is ready to trust in Jesus alone for salvation, to turn from self and sin, and to walk obediently as children of light (Ephesians 5:8b). Below, students prepare their Bibles for witnessing.
“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no Savior. I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.” Isaiah 43:10-12
