Today I gave a salvation message to the children who came to the Bible club. I had asked the last time I blogged for special prayer for God's anointing for today's lesson. Well, God truly answered prayer! God not only helped me not to make it too long, but mainly to say the words He knew needed to be spoken at the children's level of understanding. At the end of the lesson, I gave an invitation for the children to repeat a prayer after me to accept Jesus into their hearts. Oksana told them that if they wanted to prayer the prayer to repeat the prayer after she translated what I said. All 20 kids stood up to pray. Most, if not all prayed the prayer aloud. Tonya, Oksana, and I are not sure how many really accepted Jesus because the kids are used to praying aloud togther for the blessing of the snack. But I truly believe and trust in God that more accepted Jesus than what we may think. I seemed to sense a different atmosphere throughout the rest of time we were with the children. I praise God that His presence was their, and that these children have chosen to follow Him! To Him be all the glory!
Besides giving a slavation message and the craft, I also handed them the Gospel of John in Russian that Bill told me I could get from the bookstore. To my surprise, they loved them! I was thinking that they may think it is like school and more reading or something, but they didn't! They were all very excited! It is so amazing how God changes hearts and lives after people have accepted Jesus.
Well, I just wanted to share this wonderful news of answered prayer with you! I will talk to you soon!
God bless,
