Saved to Serve

My discipleship group MG, HC, HR, KT, GT, TL ,CC and myself went to Ultra few days ago. Actually this is our 2nd time to visit the children evacuees, their houses in Pasig, Rizal were washed away by Ondoy.

The 1st time we went, we reached out to 100 children, 7 years old and above. This time we reached out to 50 kids. We shared the Gospel using the wordless book and prayed with each of them. The book looked something like this.. Made with love by dear friend TL.


This is one of the most efficient way for sharing the Good News of Salvation to the children.. Of course we shared in Tagalog.

We also gave them gospel beads, to remind them of the five colors and what it symbolized. Again, made by love from TL and her kids.

We gave them school bags filled with pad paper, crayons, ball pen, cookies, juices, t-shirt etc. We were re-packing on site.





When we got there, this is what we saw. Their day care center for the children is a small park outside the Ultra stadium. Public school teachers go there to resume their classes. They were seated only in a banig and doing their arts and crafts.

 

After a few minutes they were dismissed by their teachers and we took over, we started sharing the wordless book.. by group.

 

Wrapped up by teaching them how to sing kids' praise and worship songs.




We were also told that it was their last day in Ultra and the familess are being sent home or go back to their provinces.





What a privilege to serve my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.
