We hope you enjoy discovering how God led people in earlier days, and continues to seek hearts of young and old to walk in His caring ways in love and justice to everyone.   ​
Sometimes people think children shouldn't bother adults.  But Jesus said, "No, let them come here.  They are precious."  And he told them stories, too.
​
Here is the song - Jesus Loves Me
Jesus loved even the untouchables - the lepers who lived alone.  He came and healed them.  One came to give thanks.
When Jesus was returning to Jerusalem for the last time, he stopped at his dear friends house.  Lazarus had died 4 days earlier.  Jesus wept.  Then he went to the tomb and called Lazarus to arise.
Standing in the Need of Prayer
Jesus came to us to die for us.  We do wrong things.  He didn't.  God led Him to the cross to bring hope to all of us.
Jesus was wise beyond his years.  When he was 12 he lingered at the temple and taught the scholars.  His parents thought he was with their group when they started to go home.
After a night apart Jesus returned to his disciples in the boat walking on water.  At first they were afraid.  When Peter realized it was Jesus, he hopped out of the boat to meet him.  When he looked at the waves, Peter sank.  Jesus rescued Peter.  
Here are other some songs of faith. 
Christ's followers prayed for 40 days until the Holy Spirit came.  3000 people became believers that day.  This is called the birth of the church.  
The followers started seeing God's healing power in response to their prayers, too.  Peter and John meet a man crippled from birth. 
Paul  and Silas were  imprisoned for sharing the faith.  An earthquake broke the prison walls, and God set them free. 
How Does It All End?
God has plans to rid the world of evil and everything will be made right. Come along and share with others.

​
The 3 Circles 
Upper Left - God created the world and it was good, in harmony, and all loved and knew God's goodness.

Upper Right - What happened?  The world seems broken, full of climbing stairways to heaven, I'll do it my way - I'm out of here, I'm hiding maybe using drugs, alcohol - forget me, I'm lost.  

What happened?   Sin entered - "I" is the middle letter in "Sin" - I'll lie, cheat, steal, kill whatever it takes so I get my way.  My way is better than God's. ​
Below, In the Center Circle -
God created a Rescue Plan
​It is for you & everyone He created.
 Down arrow - I'll send my son, Jesus as a baby, without any sin to a humble birthplace, have him grow up and know first hand human weakness, walk in humility with me,
 and have Him teach about my love and demonstrate my healing care.  Later He will willingly accept the pain of being a sacrificial lamb.  "The wages of sin is death."  Jesus will pay the cost and then once for all time the debt is paid.  But because He was always obedient to walk in love, death will not hold Him. He will rise from the dead and forever live.  Up arrow -  Anyone who calls upon Jesus to follow and believe in His forgiveness will have their sin forgiven and Jesus will come live in their heart. They will be a new creation. We can  fellowship in peace & love
The story of God will continue throughout history. 
​He lives and works through all.  Will you join in God's Army?  
Here is a prayer that can help you start walking with Jesus every day.  

Dear Jesus, I am young, but I know you love me.  Thank you.  I sometimes do harmful actions and sometimes I really want things MY WAY.  This is not right.  I am sorry.  I want to try to do things YOUR WAY - that is showing love to everyone.  You care about our thoughts and our deeds.  Sometimes I think mean and unkind thoughts, too.  Help me live my life with a clean heart and mind.  Help me show love to others and spend time talking to you everyday.  I love you Jesus.  Come live in my heart.  

With Jesus in your heart, your prayers can bring hope, healing and peace to others.  Start talking to Jesus about things happening in your family, with your friends, in school, in your church.  Try to find a church if you don't have one.  
​
