School Ministry

Every Thursday in Virginia, Matt leaves work early to help teach a classroom full of public school students about Jesus. Every Thursday and Friday in South Africa, we have the chance to do the same! Matt has been in charge of the games, and I lead singing (with some help from Charlotte) before the Bible lesson.

The children in the classrooms we teach here (three classrooms total) are residents of a township, like the one pictured in my previous post. I can't relate to their home lives. What I would consider "normal" and what they would consider "normal" are two different things, but this ministry reminds me that children are children everywhere. Some are enthusiastic to participate, some are uninterested. They all enjoy the rush of laughter from watching your classmates rush through a game, the "sweeties" that accompany a job well done, and, most of all, all children all over the world need the hope that comes from a life given to Jesus.
