Shan Church

Every Sunday morning, I go to the Shan church, and help out with the Sunday School for the little ones.

This is the Shan church where the worshippers come.
There's usually about 7 people in this church.And this is the sala where the children have Sunday school.
The girl is Da, the intern from Bethel who stays with me on weekends.
I really thank God for His amazing grace, and His provision for such a lovely girl for company on weekends.
I remember when I first met her, we could not converse at all. There were lots of awkward silences and puzzled looks, but 4 weeks on, we are able to have a simple conversation, find out more about each other's family and how she decided to go to Bible College. It's really amazing how God provides when we have the faith in Him. This was taken during my first Sunday here. Sunday school starts at 10am, but usually around 9.30, the children would start arriving, and we'll all help to clear the sala (which is also covered with leaves and mud over the week), and lay the mats to sit on.After worship (together with the youths), we'll have memory verse time. The kids will learn a verse from the Bible, related to the Bible story that is being told that day. The kids remembering the verse.Yesterday, the verse was taken from Luke 10:27.
"Love the Lord your God with all your hear and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and Love your neighbour as yourself."
The kids had to rearrange the jumbled verse written on paper, and recite it upon completion.Bible story time! Da told the story of the good Samaritan.Then it's craft time where the kids will do a craft, also related to the story told.
Yesterday, the kids had to colour a house. They had to draw their neighbour and paste him/her in one of the windows. The other window was Jesus. They always love craft time.
