A drawing a window to Taylor's heart


Every time have the privilege to teach a Bible lesson it is so amazing to watch God use the lesson in the lives of the kids. Often times I can see how God is doing this through the way kids are listening to the Bible Lesson. Taylor was no different. Taylor came to 5-Day Club in Coal City. The first day she came I was teaching the Red Page Bible Lesson from the series the Visualized Wordless Book, from CEF Press. This lesson tells of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Throughout the lesson, Taylor was on the edge of the couch listening and hanging on every word. At the end of every lesson there is an invitation to recieve Jesus as Savior. The flashcard for this is pictured on the left of the image above. Taylor went home that night and from memory drew this picture. God was using this flashcard to remind her of what she learned that afternoon. The next day came and Taylor gave me this picture. I was so encouraged and blown away by it. During this days lesson Taylor was even more into the lesson, if that is possible. She raised her hand in response to the invitation to receive Christ, but did not go back. At the end of club that day, Taylor told us she would not be there for the last day. So, one of my teaching partners pulled Taylor aside and lead her to the Lord!
