This was one of the highlights of my day today. In our moments of flexibility we took the kids that we were “prepared” to take outside to do a children’s church kind of thing (we weren’t really prepared but Pamela said we were to the congregation as we took all the kiddos outside before the preaching because they were being kinda loud). We did a few games we could think of and the kids had a good time. Then Hector our translator volunteered to tell a Bible story so he starts by asking the kids which Bible stories they know. Joseph? David? Let’s do David and Goliath. So he did. And he was so great with the kids, even a little boy who was crying he just picked him up which instantly calmed the boy and he used him as a prop for the story. It was so precious. Tears came to my eyes as he told the familiar story and let the kids chime in and say back parts. ( reminded me of Mrs Linda Catheroll at Mt Zion Baptist) it was just a sweet moment and his heart for God and for the kids was so evident, it blessed my heart.
And come to find out there were giants in this community, unbeknownst to us at the time, and God protected us and fought our battles. If God is for us who can be against us!
And God is for you and His work there. Glad the kids had “good listening ears”.
