In a demonstration in a teacher training class, a little girl named Sally was brought by her grandmother to participate in the demonstration. As the instructor of this training class was sharing the Wordless Book with Sally, he soon realized she had never heard the message of salvation. He went through the gold page and shared about heaven and who God is. Sally heard: God created you, He loved you and He is holy. On the dark page, she heard about sin: “all have sinned”, sin displeases God, sin separates from God and all are born in sin. But, then she heard that Jesus, God’s perfect Son, took her punishment on the cross, “without shedding of blood, is no forgiveness of sin.” Then, “…Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures and that He was buried and rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures.” Finally, she was shown John 1:12, “But as many as receive Him, to them gave He the power to become sons of God…”. Sally received Jesus as her personal Savior and was assured of her salvation through God’s word.

WOW! Think about how the instructor felt, doing a demonstration and realizing it was for real. What a glorious privilege this instructor had in leading Sally to Christ. You were a part of this glorious occasion, by your prayers. Thank you for praying! You are a valuable part of this ministry. Please look over the praises and prayer requests below and as you spend time in prayer, lift them up to our great God.

 

Yours for the children of WV,
