Two of the girls on my team having been teaching a Bible club at a local primary school (K-8) on “clubs days,” doing lessons and sword drills and memory verses. This past Wednesday was the last club day for this school year (They close school in November and start a new school year in January), so…
The kids all got their prizes.
They earn points for prizes by attending club, bringing their Bibles, and memorizing verses. Just a few verses earned them a sweet. More verses earned them two sweets (did you know that they make coke flavored hard candies?! It’s like a cross between a bottle cap and a lifesaver…) or even two sweets and a pencil sharpener.
Saying all of their verses earned them a brand new book.
Some people in that States donated several sets of YWAM missionary biographies, and the kids were very excited to receive them as prizes – almost as excited as they were about the candy…lol.
No. Really, they were excited, and proud. I watched one girl get off the bus and proceed to show her book to every person that she passed on the way to her house.
Of course, now, everyone is going to want to be in Bible club next year. I mean…who wouldn’t want to join the club that gives out sweets and books?
