This week our mornings have been consumed with Vacation Bible School at W___ Bible Fellowship (where we fellowship :)). The theme has been outer space (what we know of it) and the children have learned a lot about the Bible and how it should affect their lives.
The Lord has blessed us with many children. Everyday more than 90 children have attended. Thursday was a record with 101! The Lord has also blessed us with many staff.
I had the privilege of teaching the verse and briefly sharing the gospel each day. C, one of the girls in my class, talked to my uncle (the director) and made a decision to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. All the children diligently learned and recited Bible verses throughout the week.
Today I illustrated the wise man/foolish man parable to the children. I also emphasized that Christ is the rock of our salvation. Pray that they take to heart what they learned this week and that those who aren't saved will be convicted.
The best news of all....so far, to our knowledge, C and M,a young man, have decided to trust in Christ.
"Praise the Saviour ye who know Him, who can tell how much we owe Him, gladly let us render to Him all we are and have!"

It was your quotation of Thomas Kelly's fine hymn, "Praise the Saviour, Ye Who Know Him," that caught my eye this morning. (Today is the 241st anniversary of his birth.) Hope the VBS went well last summer!
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoy reading about our hymns and their authors, I encourage you to check out my daily blog on the subject. Some of the material would be useful in homeschooling, as well. God bless.
