Great News Club Salvations!
From Laura Vincent
Elm St School – 10/2/10
In our lesson at Great News Club yesterday we talked about the differences in God’s Kingdom, the kingdom of light and Satan’s kingdom, the kingdom of darkness. We also talked about what Jesus came to do, so that we can be a part of God’s Kingdom and some day be with Him forever. Toward the end of Great News Club the salvation invitation was given to our group of 28 children. They were asked to stand up if they would like to receive Jesus into their hearts. There were 19 children that stood up to pray. I noticed that two little boys were talking to each other so I stepped in behind them and sat on the chair. Immediately the 5 year-old boy (who was new to GNC yesterday) sat on my lap, cuddled in, folded his hands, bowed his head and prayed each word as the children were being led by Val Emery. When the children were finished praying the other little boy who was next to me said, “I did this before, but I really wanted to do it again.” Within that group of 19 children we know there are at least 14 of them that have not prayed with us at any other time. We know there was a party going on in Heaven yesterday afternoon! Just before we sent children out to their parents, there was a closing prayer. Isaac raised his hand and told us that while his eyes were closed he saw a picture. “I saw a cross that was laying down and across it there was a figure walking.” To us, it immediately spoke of Jesus and His making that way for God and man to be in relationship again, one way, through Jesus.
