Kingdom adventure stories: (Alana)
Age 10
Winnipeg
Saturday, the DPG kids (of which I am a part), went to the Bethlehem Aboriginal Church, to help with their muffin ministry. What we wanted to do, was to go outside in small groups with a bag or two of muffins. We would gave them to the people in the streets, without cost, and share with them words of encouragement, such as “Jesus loves you”
However before we went out, we sang worship songs and prayed that God would let us know who to speak to. Then we went outside to look for people. My group passed a few houses and we gave a muffin to a man in his yard. A few people said ‘no’ but they were kind about it. Finally we saw a car with a number of people in it, and gave them 12 muffins. They had just been at a funeral. The driver of the car knew the pastor of the church, and offered us $20.
We tried to say. “no” but he insisted and told us to give it to the church. We saw a few kids and gave them each a muffin, and the last one we gave to one of the kids to give to his younger brother. We returned to the church to share and sing, and say our last prayers. After we went home. It was a great experience, one that I want to do again.
For the kids that speak French, Alana, who is in French immersion at school, wrote her entry also in French. (Please excuse the lack of accents, as my computer would not add them)
Samedi, les enfants de Daniel Prayer Group ( de ce que je suis partie) ont alle a L’eglise Bethlehem Aborigional pour travailler avec le ministere des muffins. Ce que’on voulais faire, c’etait a’aller dehors en petits groups avec une ou deux sacs de muffins. Nous avons donner a les personnes sur la rue sans charge, et dissent les mots encourager que Jesus nous aimons. Mais avant qu’on avait partier, nous avons chanter les chansons d’adoration, et nous avons dis une priere pour savoir quelles personnes avec qui parler. Alors nous avons aller dehors pour chercher les personnes. Ma groupe avait passer quelques maisons et nous ont donner une muffin a un home dans son cour. Quel’que personnes ont dissent “non”, mai isl etait vraiment gentils. Finalement, nous avont vu quelque personnes dans un auto a qui nous avons donner 12 muffins! Le conducteur d’auto a connais le Pasteur de l’eg;ise, et a nous offrir vingt dollars!~ Nous avons essaient de dire “non”, mais il a nous dire que c’etait pour l’eglise. Nous avons vu quelque enfants et lui donnes chacun une muffin et la dernier pour leur petit frere. Nous avons retournes a L’eglise pour chanter et pour dire les dernires priers, ensuite on a retourne a la maison. C’etait une experience excellent et amusent. Je vouudrais faisait encore!
