city cry Bibles to Golden Ribbon

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." This verse found in Psalm 119:105 is the same verse from last week. Actually, this week's article is sort of a continuation from last week's as well. God is still supplying me with materials to give away to spread His love here.
When we got back after handing out these Books of Hope which told the message of Jesus' life and ministry among us, I was shown boxes of magazines for younger people too. There were copies for 3-6 year olds, 7-10, and 11-12. These also told the same story but in a way that was relevant to these ages. "If you can use them Shannon and Nelia, take as many as you like." We brough back several hundred copies, some for each age group, along with ones for high school that were left over. This was on Wednesday.
On Friday I met with the kids in Golden Ribbon again. This is our old neighborhood where I still do the Bible studies with the kids and teens. There are around 45 kids 3-12 years old which can show up on a day with me. We usually average around 15-20, 3 days a week. Then on Tuesdays I meet with the teens, TOFFiC Band (Teens On Fire For Christ) whom you have heard about before from me. Not only were they getting these Bible magazines for themselves, but were also asking for them for their younger and older siblings. By the end of the hour or so, I had handed out around 70 copies.
Their eyes got so big and they were so excited! I wish you could have seen them. So many sat down and began reading their copies right there on or around the porch where we meet. There wasn't enough room for all of them on the porch. These kids are very poor and do not get much given to them. Not only were they excited to get a gift, but I could tell that they were excited to be reading about God's love for them. The magazines were in both Tagalog (the natioanal language here) and English. It's amazing that even the young ones here will speak 2 or 3 languages - Cebuano, the language I have learned a little and the common one here, Tagalog, and English as they get older and go to school. There were many pictures too which helped.
Please pray for these kids as you are praying for the 10,000 teens in the high school as well who received these magazines. May God use them powerfully to express His love. Thanks. May they be a "lamp to guide their feet through this life, and a light to brighten their paths."
