It was a big step of faith and it requires a lot of work to prepare but Peggy is now teaching her own children's Sunday School class. She has about fifteen possible students under age nine although they have never all been in attendance at any one given time. All of them are children of adults who attend our services and it is a necessity to separate the children during the service to allow the adults to listen. It comes as no surprise that there is basically no parental control over a child's behavior in this society. This step in ministry was big for Peggy we have even received comments from some of the parents that the teachers at their schools have commented on the change in the child's behavior. God's Word does make a difference!
Sunday nights Abigail takes these children and reviews what Peggy taught them in the morning. Both Abigail and Peggy are always excited to see which one of "their" children will be at any given service.
A Basket Case:
A few Sundays ago our services were interrupted by a lady looking for help. She remained for the duration of the service and after service I began to deal with her and her needs. I have met basket cases before but this poor soul beats all! Her life is a MESS. Probably not more than thirty years of age with three small children. This past Sunday night will live in infamy as one of those stories that missionaries tell. I doubt that you would ever meet such a soul in the states unless you visited certain specialized care facilities. It is all an issue of sin and the answer is the Word of God. We need to see a miracle in her life and look forward to a future date when I can share the change that God has wrought in her life.
