Faith like a child...

Dear Kate,

Today our class learned about "telling and giving." Our story told us about Paul and Barnabas going to Antioch to tell the people there about Jesus. Many people in Antioch became Christians because of Barnabas and Paul telling them of Jesus' love for them. Then, Agabus visited this new church in Antioch and he told them there was not enough food for the people in Jerusalem and throughout the Roman world. The Christians in Antioch wanted to help, so they gave their money to the church in Jerusalem.

The children in our class also heard about your work with World Orphans. They decided they wanted to give money to you so you and other missionaries can continue to go and tell the orphans about Jesus, and buy them things they need.

In Jesus' Love,
The River Oaks Community Church Pre-K and Kindergarten Sunday School Class



Matthew 18:1-5
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.
