Every Thursday, when the kids are off school, myself and one of the older boys in the
orphanage do a Bible story and craft with some of the school kids. I deliver
the story and lesson in English and Georges translates it into Moore (the tribal language). The kids are
hearing stories like that of Noah, Joseph and David. They hear the struggles that
these people go through and how they lean on God to get them through times of
difficulty. The kids also learn a memory verse that they memorize and can keep
with them. The final activity of the morning is some sort of craft. We have
created animals for Noah’s ark and colorful coats like Joseph’s. The kids
really enjoy the art project and it’s something for them to bring home and show
their families and hopefully share with them what it is and the story that goes
along with it. Most of these kids are brought up in Muslim households so
speaking to them about Jesus and the love that He has for us is so important.
Not only do I hope these Bible stories penetrate the kids’ hearts but those
that they live with and spend time with.
