August 2nd Blog from Steve W

Yesterday some of the classes learned about David and Goliath. One of those classes was Mitch and Steve's. At the end of the story they explained how David trusted God to deliver him, and God did. They then asked the students to divide up into three groups and write a drama to preform in front of the class. One of the groups wrote a story of a young girl who goes on a walk with her sister and her dog. An out of control taxi comes around the corner heading straight for the girl. The dog sees it and jumps between the girl and the taxi, dying in her place. When the doctor comes he says this girl will live, but the dog is dead. The girl cries and tells the dog she will miss him every day.

This story very much resembles Jesus' substitutionary death for us - His sacrifice instead of us. As a result Mitch and Steve would like to use this as a bridge to carefully introduce the gospel. Please pray for them and their class and if God would want their class to perform this skit in the talent show.
