Today we went to a Thai government school and shared the story of why Jesus came into the world and how He was born. Jesus came into the world to save us from sin, and He's coming back to take us home again!
The Hope for Bangkok team was asked to come to this school and to have a living nativity as a part of the school's fair. We started at 9 AM and finished at 3 PM. There were 700 students in grades K – 8 in the entire school. Each class rotated through the various stations, so we had 15 minutes with each group of students.
Our group sang carols and then acted out the Bible story of Christ's birth. First, I helped by playing Mary. When I got tired of doing this I was the angel. My mom then had the students from each class act as the characters from this Bible story: the angel, shepherds, Joseph & Mary, and the wise men.
I also presented the director of the school with a gift for each of the teachers. The gifts included a book on the 10 Commandments, a health lesson, and the Meaning of the Nativity Story.
I helped pass out the coloring sheets to the boys and girls.
The boys and girls of this school have never heard the story of Jesus. I made new friends at this school. The boys and girls were very excited that we came!
Questions for my blog readers:
- How can you share the Gospel?
- How will you share the Message from the Manger with boys & girls who have never heard this Good News?
- How will you help tell the Gospel in the foreign lands?
- Have you ever been to a foreign land?
