On the 28th of July 2013, My family and I had the privilege to visit the Belleview Baptist Church in Johannesburg. It was a very special event.
The children who goes to the after care everyday studied God's Word on certain days. They find it to be a treat to hear and learn about God and His word in this fashion, very casual. On this day they graduated and it was a proud moment for many. They were extremely excited.
Before the graduation I shared the Word of God, reading Genesis chapter one. Every time God speaks in the chapter I made my voice strong and powerful imagining how it could have sounded if God is totally human today. The children were in absolute awe. They enjoyed listening to the Word of God being read to them with different voice tones. So much so that after the reading the children gave me an applause. This was very different for everyone.
After the service I was told that they really enjoyed listening to the Bible. Something people do not enjoy anymore. Give us anything to read except the Bible they would say. The theme of the message was: "I am valuable because God made me.". We looked at different things that was made and the value it held. Just because of who the artist or creator was of a painting made the value increase. You and I are made by God the creator of the universe. He made you last...because He wanted to prove to you that you are made by the best. When one looks at creation, one simply is in awe of the majesty and greatness of God. The same God who made you and me.
The Children were encouraged as the booklet, called "Friends Forever" which they worked through, dealt about God the creator in the first chapter. One of the children gave a testimony about how he learned about God that He alone is the creator. We are not merely existing...we are designed, created to live a life with a purpose.
Here are pictures of each of the children who participated except one, who could not make it to church that morning. Please feel free to share what God is doing in the lives of our children. You are welcome to introduce this program to your church, school or even in after school care programs.
