Noah's Answer

One of our missionary pre-schoolers gave a perfectly splendid answer to our question about the Story of Creation.  He has only been with us for two days, but he knew exactly what God had created on each of the six days of creation as found in Genesis Chapter One.

  I was so pround of him and asked him how to knew so much about the Story of Creation.  Noah told me that his parents had a lot of Bible story books and they read them together all the time.  What a blessing to have parents who care about their children's knowledge and understanding of God's word.  Keep up the good work Noah.

Working with MK's in Yaounde, Cameroon

Have you ever tried to teach something to fourteen 3,4, and 5 year olds?  What a challenge!  My wife and I are having the time of our life working with these missionary kids.  We told them on day one that we have two rules:  (1) they must learn something, and (2) they must have fun.  If they don't, I told them you owe us an icecream.  




We are studying the story of creation in Genesis chapter one.  We support the teaching with coloring pages (they don't have the skills to stay within the lines), and craft items.  We sing songs and keep them moving with activities.  Their attention span is very short, but we find that they love to have us read story books to them.  We'll share some pictures when we get them developed.
