Learning from poor kids in villages

I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.
Luke 18:17

Do you still have moments when you stop and think of what a Bible verse might mean ? The verse in Luke tell us so much of things we forgot to do or are not willing to do ,thought we say “we are His followers” .

Like ,how many of you are willing to walk in a muddy day miles and miles ,with your only pair of boots that you try to save for school ,but still you will not miss a weekly bible study .

This evening Vio got the chance to take some of the kids home and we were humbled how far this kids would walk up the hill to come and her about God and His love .Therefore we are determine to learn more and more from the children we are supposed to teach to. For we choose His kingdom ,but in our ways.

Also how many of us take things for granted …crafts in Romania it is a big deal ,and to us it is a great tool in the ministry ,for it reminds kids what they have learned and also they could show their parents what they have learned and share with their household the truth of God ,and not to mention it helps them be creative .Not only that kids here are not used to do craft ,but this evening in Bughea de Jos ,(a village that we started to teach Bible only few weeks ago for the first time ,there are 13-17 kids coming every week) they did not care for not having room and did the craft ,on the table, under the table ,on the floor and wherever ,but they all wanted to do it, including 13 years boys .Thanks to all people that gave craft supplies or school supplies ,so precious in this ministry and we encourage all of you to consider if this is a part of ministry where you want to get involve ,by providing crafts supplies and ideas . In this village one of the boys confessed to Vio that other kids and teachers at school laugh on them because they come to learn from Bible and they meet with “born again ones” ,but what he replied it really got our attention “ I rather be with them at a Bible lesson and go to heaven than kiss icons ,curse with you and go to hell”.

In Pauleasca- Micesti the poverty of the children became like routine to us ,but every week God with His sense of humor brings something new to this club as to others as well. Romanians in the villages and country side ,do not allow animals in the house .Well, couple days ago in Pauleasca the family’s cat was allowed to attend the bible club for” all creatures have to hear it” . So ,there are about 44 kids and cat attending the bible lessons now.

Every Saturday Vio goes to 3 villages to teach children there from the Bible .Badesti is one of these 3 villages where kids of different ages come .There are about 40 attending .Soon kids will have to be divided in age groups ,but no workers available .Please bring this up to the Lord ,as well as safety for Vio since he drives in 7 villages every week .

We thank God for giving us the chance to minister among such wonderful children ,so honest and eager to know the truth and hear of love ,for we get the chance not only to teach them ,but learn from them as well .Also we thank the ones that are part of ministry by praying or giving ,for thanks to their generosity hundreds of children here learn the truth and the way to Heaven in Jesus.

Teaching children and learning from them
