Teaching Bible Truth to Children

Bible truth should be taught to children at an early age. I was given the chance to teach Sunday school to children of school age. This coming Sunday will be my 4th Sunday teaching. The teaching comprises; children gospel song, Bible story-telling, memory verse and a a dash of fun activities like coloring, drawing, paper cut-outs and Bible games.

Reminiscing my college days when I had my first encountered with Christian missionary group, I was readily introduced to God's gift of salvation which then was a strange knowledge to me. Though I had been a regular church goer during my early school days my knowledge of Christ were nothing more than a skimpy story of Bethlehem and crucifixion. The bulk of activities we had in my daily church attendance was the recital of rosary in chorus, the prime Catholic teaching. As I walked in Christ for my renewed faith, I totally felt a different person. I was the youngest and first born-again Christian at home, being so, I knew God had in-stored for me a special task of opening the gospel to my family. Since we have a loose Catholic faith, it worked well to easily win my parent's heart to Christ. I was not met with blatant indignation from any member of my family as could had happened if I have a strict and conservative religious root.

I set my own mission of teaching the gospel truth to my nephews and nieces, that was my enjoyable days in my life. Then I volunteered to teach in Vacation Bible School of the Baptist Church. I lost contact with the family of my brother when I established my own family and settled a few miles apart from my brother's residence which means I couldn't follow-up his children from their faith. I knew I failed to win my brother and his wife to Christ and so I thought there wouldn't have the chance for their children to live up to Christian faith. But am I missing the lines that says "some planted, the other waters and some others reap.." When the children had grown-up I was informed that they were all active in the Christian Church service though, my brother and her wife remained in their old faith.
