"Father Abraham"

Yesterday I visited a GNC at Saratoga Elementary School in Morris. This is a club that has been going for years and meets all school year. This week they started talking about Abraham from the CEF Press lesson series Patriarchs. To help the kids understand the promise God made Abraham, the GNC team has been teaching them "Father Abraham." Lead teacher Carol Adair uses this song to discribe how God's promise to Abraham has been fulfilled in believers like you and me. This version of "Father Abraham" is unlike what you sang as a child. View and enjoy as I sure did yesterday.

"I''m ready. I want to be God's child."

Jasmine. We first met here three years ago in Good News Club at her school. She has come off and on since then to GNC when she can. She has always been on the quite side, but was always listening and ready to learn more about God. At the end of each lesson we always give an invitation to receive Jesus as Savior. Kids who respond to this invitation go back for counseling; those boys and girls that are serious and ready to become God's child are counseled accordingly. As long as I have known Jasmine, she has never responded to an invitation.

This week, Jasmine came back for counseling after the Bible lesson! She told my teaching partner, "I have always seen people come back to talk to you about God, but I never have. Now I am here." Jasmine told my teaching partner everything about who God is and what He has done for her on the cross. Jasmine said "I'm ready. I want to be God's child." Praise God that Jasmine is now apart of God's family. I marvel at God. This is Jasmine's last year at her elementary school and GNC is almost over for the year. I am amazed at God.
