Jesus said, "Let the children come unto me" Mathew 19:14 "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. "
Feed My Lambs. John 21:15
There is a sweet uninhibited interest found in children's meetings. They love to
sing, study, and come to meeting on the run. The evidence of the Holy Spirit's
presence is noted when they show gratitude and love to help in anyway they can.
It is really fun to teach them the Scripture songs and watch their excitement
during the daily quiz testing what they heard. They diligently take notes every
meeting so they can get a stack of prizes from America. Their squeals and joy
are contagious. It is amazing how many chapters in the Bible they easily
memorize for a little calculator or set of color markers.
The
programs always start with nature object lessons. It is really fun because the
children are always curious about the world about them. You can catch their
interest quickly with a nature story. You can get them to listen with nature
when they might not listen to a Bible story. Once you have their interest in the
nature story, you quickly weave in the Bible truth and they hear it before they
realize the topic has changed to Bible.
Since
1984 Dr. Rose has enjoyed teaching children about God's love. Colorful
backdrops of heaven and the sanctuary walk through model help keep the interest.
In 1992, she began illustrating a color book containing the essential truths
fundamental to salvation. Not considering herself an artist, she prayed for
help. Each artist she contacted wanted too much for each sketch. It would have
cost 10,000 dollars to do the project. She did not have it but did believe Jesus
would help with His hand on hers. One night, when Jenny was one years old, Dr.
Rose was quietly drawing up a picture to interest children in theme of heaven.
The duck looked too sick to live in heaven. Discouragement overwhelmed all
efforts to continue. The next morning at the swimming pool was a live duck who
stayed three months till the project was completed and then she was gone. There
is nothing too hard for the Lord. Jer. 32:17
These
Children's Bible lessons are on web larombible.com. They are called
"Basic Bible". These have been utilized all over the world. They are
translated into Spanish, Russian, Iban and other languages are being worked on.
Young Jenny began teaching these lessons in India at the beginning of each of
her mother's adult meetings.
She is utilizing the laptop given by Uncle Jack and holding her own series of
meetings for the children. Children's Bible lesson Books are given out and the
children are taught to sing 40 Scripture songs.
She
loves telling the stories of the Bible on themes of God's love and how the 10
commandments describe His character. By obeying this law, we demonstrate our
desire to think like and love like God does.
God is using this to open hearts for the kingdom.
All
work is done on a volunteer basis. Each lesson book costs 6-7 dollars to print
depending on quantity ordered. Many times we are on our knees praying for God to
move on the hearts of HIS friends to provide materials and airline transport.
God provides from unexpected generous hands. Sometimes these surprises come
while Jenny is purchasing supplies. Bibles are purchased with money Jenny raises
by baking and selling honey sweetened deserts. God is blessing.
