Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

“Who can tell me what this means?”

…..silence…..giggles….more silence….quiet chattering in Malagasy

“You can explain it in Malagasy if you want to!”

Last week I shared about my English class! It was such a fun time! The room was FILLED…quite literally to capacity! Everyone brought a new friend…someone I had never met before! We played a game and the Gospel was shared…was a great time all around!

As this week’s class approached, I just got so excited! So excited….I couldn’t even think of what to teach them other than the Bible…a great problem to have if you ask me! Anyways, this week I dove into my many years of teaching preschool and played Simon Says and sang “Head Shoulders Knees and Toes”…I know my teaching friends would be so proud!

We laughed a lot….which is totally ok because I love to laugh! My favorite part was walking back into the small room…full of students that aren’t sure where they stand in their faith, and talking about Romans 6:23. I broke the verse into sections to explain it fully. The conversation went totally like what is written above, but the kids…I just can’t explain to you the look in their eyes. As one of our new friend’s, Tena (he is Jeremy and Angela’s day guard) stood up and gave the meaning of the verse, the kids listened intently. There was no other chatter. There was no giggling.

I told them that the verse was truth. I told them that they could believe it because it is from the Bible. I told them that Jesus not only hung on a cross for us, but we know He defeated death because He ROSE 3 DAYS LATER! Their faces started to light up. What a hope! Who did you share that hope with today?

I LOVE Wednesday nights.

Please be in prayer for us. Pray for the students in my class….that they come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. Pray for me…that I find favor at a youth center in town that I want to start having English class at. Pray that as we meet with some of the students tomorrow and Friday, that they will have questions, and that we can share the hope we have in Christ.
