Praise the LORD for another day to serve in Kisoro,
Uganda. Yesterday was a great day for
EGM. My colleague Joe Cox did most if the
teaching. He did a great job teaching the TRUTH seminar and God surely touched
the hearts of the teachers. The TRUTH seminar included an experiential activity
where teachers wrote the needs of a child within their ministry on an orange
post-it-note. Then, they prayed and asked the LORD for insight into how His
Word might meet the need of that child. Next, they were asked to write the text
and main idea on a pink heart post-it-note where they stuck it onto the wall
adjacent to the orange sticker. It is hard to describe in words the precious
way that God touched the children's workers. After they returned to their seats,
Joe asked if anyone wanted to share. A precious teacher stood up and shared her
experience:
"I have one hundred and twenty children in my class.
They are all very naughty. Sometimes I have had to beat them with a stick. The
boys act very naughty and even crawl out the windows. I even started to hate
the children and did not want to teach them anymore." Then she began to
weep declaring her desire to repent of her lack of love for the boys and girls
and expressed her renewed commitment to ministering the love of Christ to
children.
The post-it-note activity touched their hearts so deeply
showing them that God loves these children and He wants them to love these
children as well.
