The Gospel Bracelet Challenge... they had to learn what each bead meant not just what the color stood for. If they could come up and explain in depth each bead, they could win a soccer ball.
And please keep in mind, English is often times their second, third or even fourth language. My constant prayer is that these girls and boys would understand God's truths in spite of the language barrier. God is big... He created language therefore He can move in mighty ways!
After only 1 week, Lesego was able to complete the challenge.
In case you were wondering...
Gold=God... God created everything. God created people to be in a perfect relationship with Him. John 3:16
Silver=Sin... But people sin and are separated from God because God can't be with sin. God is Holy. Romans 3:23
Red=Jesus' blood... Jesus is God's Son who died on the cross so we can be forgiven of our sins. Romans 5:8
White=Forgiveness... If you believe in Jesus, what He did and trust in Him, then you will be forgiven. You can have a relationship with Him. John 1:12
Green=Grow... Once you have a relationship with God you grow by... going to church, praying, reading the Bible, worshipping God, ect. Philippians 3:13
The gospel is simple. God is Holy. We are sinful. We need a Savior. Christ lived a perfect life, died, rose again to save us from our sins. We can now be in relationship with God through Christ.
Pray that these girls and boys would understand this Good News and accept Christ as Savior and trust in Him fully!
