The Word of God

Jackie took some Gideon bibles with him to Anadarko. We had a Gideon volunteer come to our church a couple of Sundays ago. I asked him if they took Bibles to the Native American Indians. He told me that they were not allowed to pass out Bibles to the Nations in the fashion that they routinely do. I asked if we could have some to take on our next mission trip. So I got some bright orange small New Testaments to take. They are the King James Version. They have some Green ones that I wish I would have gotten because they are the New King James Version and the green color would go along with my wordless book presentation. I know what to ask for now.

Jackie took them and gave them to George. It was like giving him candy. George and the children were so excited to get these pocket size testaments. Jackie said that George made the children memorize ten Bibles verses before he would give them their copy. WOW. I was just thinking just pass them out. He is making them work for them. What a great idea. We take so much for granted. Jackie said there were several youth with their newly obtained bibles on the work site displaying them very proudly. I asked about the little children. George is making them memorize too, a shorter version of the verses.

George works with the youth at Wichita Community Church. (He is also the music leader. I am trying to get our church to donate hymn books in our library that we don't use anymore.) We've been so impressed with George and his love for the Lord Jesus. He is the father of the pastor. His whole family serves the church. You can see their desire to win their children and community to the Lord.
