THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL!

Excited children at a party at the church.

The greatest gift of all was offered to another large group of children who gathered at the church for a meeting.  They were told about God's gift of His Son Jesus who came to live in their hearts.  TWENTY MORE CHILDREN HURRIED FORWARD TO ACCEPT THIS GREATEST GIFT!!

Pastor Gerardo and Miriam's ministry to the children is prospering.  The latest event featured clowns, music, gifts and guest speakers.  The challenge in the future will be to disciple these children through regular Sunday School classes.

Mexico has many "idle" children.  These are children who no longer attend school and they roam the streets with idle time on their hands and no money.  The schools do not force the children to attend classes, in fact teachers are too quick to write them off as hopeless.  Marcelino, Jr. is now one of those children.  He's 14 years old and no longer wants to study with the others.  His father told him he would have to go to work if he won't go to school, but there are few jobs available.  These "idle" children are prime targets for criminals.

Sunday School is the only answer!  And we must reach as many children as possible with this great gift of salvation!
