5) LET’S …………. READ!!
Here is a story, reported to be true, about a nine-year-old boy who lived in a rural town in
Tennessee. His house was in a poor area of the community. A church there had a bus Ministry that came
knocking on his door one Saturday afternoon.
The child came to answer the door and greeted the bus Pastor. The bus Pastor asked if his parents
were home and the small boy told him that his parents take off every weekend and leave him at home to
take care of his little brother.
The bus Pastor could not believe what the child said and asked him to repeat it.
The youngster gave the same answer and the bus Pastor asked to come in and talk with him. They
went into the living room and sat down on an old couch with the foam and springs exposed. The bus Pastor
asked the child, "Where do you go to church?"
The young boy surprised the visitor by replying, "I've never been to church in my whole life." The
bus Pastor thought to himself about the fact that his church was less than three miles from the child's house.
"Are you sure you have never been to church?" he asked again. "I'm sure I haven't, " came his answer.
Then the bus Pastor said, "Well, son, more important than going to church, have you ever heard
the greatest love story ever told?" and then he proceeded to share the Gospel with this little nine-year-old
boy.
The young lad's heart began to be tenderized and at the end of the bus pastor's story, the bus
Pastor asked if the boy wanted to receive this free gift from God.
The youngster exclaimed, "OF COURSE!" The child and the bus Pastor got on their knees and the
lad invited Jesus into his little heart and received the free gift of salvation.
They both stood up and the bus Pastor asked if he could pick the child up for church the next
morning. "Sure," the nine year old replied.
The bus Pastor got to the house early the next morning and found the lights off.
He let himself in, snaked his way through the house, and found the little boy asleep in his bed. He
woke up the little boy and his brother and helped get them dressed. They got on the bus and ate a doughnut
for breakfast on their way to church.
Keep in mind that this boy had never been to church before. The church was a real big one. The
little child just sat there, clueless of what was going on. A few minutes into the service, these tall unhappy
guys walked down to the front and picked up some wooden plates.
One of the men prayed and the child, with utter fascination, watched them walk up and down the
aisles. He still did not know what was going on. Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, it hit the child what was
taking place.
These people must be giving money to Jesus. He then reflected on the free gift of life he had
received just twenty-four hours earlier. He immediately searched his pockets, front and back, and could not
find a thing to give Jesus.
By this time the offering plate was being passed down his aisle and, with a broken heart, he just
grabbed the plate and held on to it. He finally let go and watched it pass on down the aisle. He turned
around to see it passed down the aisle behind him. And then his eyes remained glued on the plate as it was
passed back and forth, back and forth all the way to the rear of the sanctuary.
Then he had an idea. This little nine-year-old boy, in front of God and everybody, got up out of his
seat. He walked about eight rows back, grabbed the usher by the coat, and asked to hold the plate one
more time.
Then he did the most astounding thing I have ever heard of.
He took the plate, sat it on the carpeted church floor, and stepped into the center of it. As he stood
there, he lifted his little head up and said, "Jesus, I don't have anything to give you today, but just me.
I give you me!"

5) LET’S ……………….READ
A man's daughter had asked the local pastor to come and pray with her father.
When the pastor arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two
pillows and an empty chair beside his bed. The priest assumed that the old fellow had
been informed of his visit. "I guess you were expecting me," he said.
"No, who are you?"
"I'm the new associate at your local church," the pastor replied. "When I saw the
empty chair, I figured you knew I was going to show up."
"Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man. "Would you mind closing the
door?"
Puzzled, the pastor shut the door.
"I've never told anyone this, not even my daughter," said the man. "But all of my
life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about
prayer, but it always went right over my head.."
"I abandoned any attempt at prayer," the old man continued, "until one day about
four years ago my best friend said to me, 'Joe, prayer is just a simple matter of having a
conversation with Jesus. Here's what I suggest. Sit down on a chair, place an empty
chair in front of you, and in faith see Jesus on the chair. It's not spooky because he
promised, 'I'll be with you always.' Then just speak to him and listen in the same way
you're doing with me right now."
"So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day. I'm
careful, though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a
nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm."
The pastor was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old guy to
continue on the journey. Then he prayed with him, and returned to the church.
Two nights later the daughter called to tell the pastor that her daddy had died that
afternoon.
"Did he seem to die in peace?" he asked.
"Yes, when I left the house around two o'clock, he called me over to his bedside,
told me one of his corny jokes, and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the
store an hour later, I found him dead. But there was something strange, In fact, beyond
strange--kinda weird. Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his
head on a chair beside the bed."

was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there,

Dear Friend,
I just had to write to tell you how much I love you and care for you.
Yesterday, I saw you walking and laughing with your friends; I hoped that soon you'd
want Me to walk along with you, too. So, I painted you a sunset to close your day and whispered
a cool breeze to refresh you. I waited; you never called. I just kept on loving you.
As I watched you fall asleep last night, I wanted so much to touch you. I spilled moonlight
onto your face trickling down your cheeks as so many tears have. You didn't even think of me; I
wanted so much to comfort you.
The next day I exploded a brilliant sunrise into a glorious morning for you. But you woke
up late and rushed off to work-you didn't even notice.
My sky became cloudy and My tears were the rain.
I love you! Oh, if you'd only listen. I really love you! I try to say it in the quiet of the green
meadow and in the blue sky. The wind whispers My love throughout the treetops and spills it into
the vibrant colors of the flowers.
I shout it to you in the thunder of the great waterfalls and composed love songs for birds
to sing for you. I warm you with the clothing of My sunshine and perfume the air with nature's
sweet scent.
My love for you is deeper than the ocean and greater than any need in your heart. If
you'd only realize how I care. I died just for you. My Dad sends His love. I want you to meet Him.
He cares, too. Fathers are just that way.
So please call Me soon. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait because I love you.
Your Friend,
Jesus

5) LET’S ……………READ
It was a quiet morning in Korea. In a small valley, there was a little wooden building with
a corrugated steel roof. It was an orphanage that housed many young children who had lost their
parents in the war.
Suddenly, the quiet of the morning was shattered when a mortar shell fell and landed
squarely on top of the orphanage. The roof was ripped apart by the blast and pieces of steel
roofing were blasted all through the orphanage wounding many of the children. One little girl was
hit in the leg by the flying metal and her leg was immediately amputated just below her knee. She
was laying in the rubble of the orphanage quietly when they found her. A tourniquet was
immediately applied and a runner was sent to the MASH hospital to fetch medical help for the
children.
When the doctors and nurses arrived, they begin to triage the wounded children. When
the doctor saw the little girl, he realized that her greatest need at the moment was blood. He
immediately called for records from the orphanage to find someone with her blood type. A nurse
who could read and speak Korean began to call out the names of all the children with the same
blood type as the little girl.
After a few minutes there was a group of wide eyed children assembled. The doctor
spoke to the group and the nurse translated, "Would one of you be willing to give this little girl
your blood?" The children looked shocked, but no one said a word. Again the doctor pleaded,
"Please will one of you give her your blood, because if you don't, she is going to die!" Finally a
boy in the back raised his hand and the nurse laid him down on a bed to prepare him for the
taking of his blood.
When the nurse ask for his arm in order to sterilize the skin, the boy began to whimper.
"Relax", she said, "It won't hurt." When the doctor took his arm and inserted the needle, he began
to cry. "Does it hurt?", the doctor asked. But the boy only cried louder. "I'm hurting him!", the
doctor thought and he tried to ease his pain and comfort him, but to no avail. Finally, after what
seemed like a long time, the blood was drawn and the needle was removed. The little boy just
laid and sobbed for a few minutes.
After the blood was given to the wounded girl and her condition was stabilized, the doctor
was curious. He took the Korean speaking nurse back over to the little boy and told the nurse to
ask him, "Did it hurt?"
The boy said, "No, it did not hurt."
"Then why were you crying?", the doctor asked.
"Because I was afraid of dying", the boy said. The doctor was stunned! "Why did you
think you would die?" With tears in his eyes the boy replied, "Because I thought that in order to
save her you would have to take all of my blood!" The doctor didn't know what to say! Then he
asked, "But if you thought that you were going to die, why did you offer to give her your blood?"
With tears streaming down his face, he said, "Because she was my friend and I loved her!"

I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory.
Oh victory in Jesus
My Savior forever,
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ‘ere I knew Him,
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath His cleansing blood.

followed him. Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large
crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. But the Pharisees and the
teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, "Why do
you eat and drink with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" Jesus answered them, "It is not
the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance."

5) LET’S …………… READ
Ruth went to her mailbox and there was only one letter. She picked it up and looked at it before opening, but
then she looked at the envelope again. There was no stamp, no postmark, only her name and address. She
read the letter:
Dear Ruth,
I'm going to be in your neighborhood Saturday afternoon and I'd like to stop by for a visit.
Love,
Jesus
Her hands were shaking as she placed the letter on the table. "Why would the Lord want to visit
me? I'm nobody special. I don't have anything to offer." With that thought, Ruth remembered her empty
kitchen cabinets. "Oh my goodness, I really don't have anything to offer. I'll have to run down to the store
and buy something for dinner."
She reached for her purse and counted out its contents. Five dollars and forty cents. "Well, I can
get some bread and cold cuts, at least." She threw on her coat and hurried out the door. A loaf of French
bread, a half-pound of sliced turkey, and a carton of milk...leaving Ruth with a grand total of twelve cents to
last her until Monday.
Nonetheless, she felt as she headed home, her meager offerings tucked under her arm. "Hey lady,
can you help us, lady?" Ruth had been so absorbed in her dinner plans, she hadn't even noticed two figures
huddled in the alleyway. A man and a woman, both of them dressed in little more than rags.
"Look lady, I ain't got a job, ya know, and my wife and I have been living out here on the street,
and, well, now it's getting cold and we're getting kinda hungry and, well, if you could help us, lady, we'd
really appreciate it." Ruth looked at them both.
They were dirty, they smelled bad and, frankly, she was certain that they could get some kind of work if they
really wanted to. "Sir, I'd like to help you, but I'm a poor woman myself. All I have is a few cold cuts and
some bread, and I'm having an important guest for dinner tonight and I was planning on serving that to
Him."
"Yeah, well, OK lady, I understand. Thanks anyway."
The man put his arm around the woman's shoulders, turned and headed back into the alley. As she watched
them leave, Ruth felt a familiar twinge in her heart. "Sir, wait!" The couple stopped and turned as she ran
down the alley after them. "Look, why don't you take this food. I'll figure out something else to serve my
guest." She handed the man her grocery bag. "Thank you lady. Thank you very much!" "Yes, thank you!" It
was the man's wife, and Ruth could see now that she was shivering.
"You know, I've got another coat at home. Here, why don't you take this one." Ruth unbuttoned her
jacket and slipped it over the woman's shoulders. Then smiling, she turned and walked back to the
street...without her coat and with nothing to serve her guest. "Thank you lady! Thank you very much!"
Ruth was chilled by the time she reached her front door, and worried too. The Lord was coming to
visit and she didn't have anything to offer Him. She fumbled through her purse for the door key. But as she
did, she noticed another envelope in her mailbox. "That's odd. The mailman doesn't usually come twice in
one day." She took the envelope out of the box and opened it.
Dear Ruth,
It was so good to see you again. Thank you for the lovely meal. And thank you, too, for the beautiful
coat.
Love,
Jesus
The air was still cold, but even without her coat, Ruth no longer noticed.

Luke 6:6-10
On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was
there whose right hand was shriveled. The Pharisees and the teachers of the law
were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he
would heal on the Sabbath. But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the
man with the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." So he got up
and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the
Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?" He looked around at
them all, and then said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his
hand was completely restored.
b) Can you answer the teacher’s questions?
i) When did Jesus go to the synagogue?

The fear of rejection may be one of the most basic fears of the human experience. Dr. Joe Harding tells a
heart-warming story of a man who finally decided to ask his boss for a raise in salary. It was Friday. He told
his wife that morning what he was about to do, All day the man felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the
afternoon he summoned the courage to approach his employer. To his delight, the boss agreed to a raise.
The man arrived home to a beautiful table set with their best china. Candles were lighted. His wife
had prepared a festive meal. Immediately he figured that someone from the office had tipped her off! Finding
his wife in the kitchen, he told her the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to a wonderful
meal. Next to his plate the man found a beautiful lettered note. It read: "Congratulations, darling! I knew
you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you."
While on his way to the kitchen to get dessert he noticed that a second card had fallen from her
pocket. Picking it off the floor, he read: "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway!
These things will tell you how much I love you."
Total acceptance! Total love! Her love for him was not contingent upon his success at work. In fact,
just the opposite. If he were to fail there, if he were to be rejected by his boss he'd be all the more accepted
at home. She stood behind him no matter what; softening the blows, healing the wounds, believing in him,
loving him. We can be rejected by almost anyone if we're loved by one.
That's the way families can be with each other. And I like to think that's the way God is with us, too!
"We love because he first loved us."

Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Peter 3:16; 2 John 7; John 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 1:30-31;
Revelation 22:17; Galatians 5:22-23; Mark 9:23; Philippians 4:19;

3 John 2; Jude 24-25; Ephesians 6:10-18; Luke 9:23
A man had a little daughter -- an only and much-beloved child. He lived for her -- she was
his life. So when she became ill and her illness resisted the efforts of them best obtainable
physicians, he became like a man possessed, moving heaven and earth to bring about her
restoration to health. His best efforts proved unavailing and the child died.
The father was totally irreconcilable. He became a bitter recluse, shutting himself away
from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his poise and bring him back
to his normal self. But one night he had a dream. He was in Heaven, and was witnessing a grand
pageant of all the little child angels. They were marching in an apparently endless line past the
Great White Throne.
Every white-robed angelic child carried a candle. He noticed that one child's candle was
not lighted. Then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl. Rushing to her,
while the pageant faltered, he seized her in his arms, caressed her tenderly, and then asked:
"How is it, darling that your candle alone is unlighted? "Father, they often re-light it, but your tears
always put it out." Just then he awoke from his dream.
The lesson was crystal clear, and its effects were immediate. From that hour on he was
not a recluse, but mingled freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates. No longer
would his darling's candle be extinguished by his useless tears.
"For You have delivered my soul from death. Have you not kept my feet from falling, That
I may walk before God In the LIGHT of the living?" (Psalms 56:13NKJ) Jesus Loves You!

disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" He
got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was

is not dead but asleep." They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But he

eat." They answered, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish-unless we go
and buy food for all this crowd." (About five thousand men were there.) But he said
to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each." The disciples
did so, and everybody sat down. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking

5) LET’S ……………….. READ
Dear Patrick,
I was then an only child who had everything I could ever want. But even a pretty, spoiled
and rich kid could get lonely once in a while so when Mom told me that she was
pregnant, I was ecstatic. I imagined how wonderful you would be and how we'd always
be together and how much you would look like me. So, when you were born, I looked at
your tiny hands and feet and marveled at how beautiful you were. We took you home
and I showed you proudly to my friends. They would touch you and sometimes pinch
you, but you never reacted.
When you were five months old, some things began to bother Mom. You seemed
so unmoving and numb, and your cry sounded odd -- almost like a kitten's. So we
brought you to many doctors.
The thirteenth doctor who looked at you quietly said you have the "cry du chat"
(pronounced kree-do-sha) syndrome, 'cry of the cat' in French. When I asked what that
meant, he looked at me with pity and softly said, "Your brother will never walk nor talk."
The doctor told us that it is a condition that afflicts one in 50,000 babies, rendering
victims severely retarded. Mom was shocked and I was furious. I thought it was unfair.
When we went home, Mom took you in her arms and cried. I looked at you and
realized that word will get around that you're not normal. So to hold on to my popularity, I
did the unthinkable ... I disowned you.
Mom and Dad didn't know but I steeled myself not to love you as you grew. Mom and
Dad showered you with love and attention and that made me bitter. And as the years
passed, that bitterness turned to anger, and then hate.
Mom never gave up on you. She knew she had to do it for your sake. Every time
she put your toys down, you'd roll instead of crawl. I watched her heart break every time
she took away your toys and strapped your tummy with foam so you couldn't roll. You'd
struggle and you'd cry in that pitiful way, the cry of the kitten. But she still didn't give up.
And then one day, you defied what all your doctors said -- you crawled!
When Mom saw this, she knew that you would eventually walk. So when you were still
crawling at age four , she'd put you on the grass with only your diapers on knowing that
you hate the feel of the grass your skin, and smile at your discomfort. You would crawl to
the sidewalk and Mom would put you back. Again and again, Mom repeated this on the
lawn. Until one day, Mom saw you pull yourself up and toddle off the grass as fast as
your little legs could carry you. Laughing and crying, she shouted for Dad and I to come.
Dad hugged you crying openly. I watched from my bedroom window this heartbreaking
scene.
Over the years, Mom taught you to speak, read and write. From then on, I would
sometimes see you walk outside, smell the flowers, marvel at the birds, or just smile at
no one. I began to see the beauty of the world around me, the simplicity of life and the
wonders of this world, through your eyes. It was then that I realized that you were my
brother and no matter how much I tried to hate you, I couldn't, because I had grown to
love you.
During the next few days, we again became acquainted with each other. I would
buy you toys and give you all the love that a sister could ever give to her brother. And
you would reward me by smiling and hugging me. But I guess, you were never really
meant for us. On your tenth birthday, you felt severe headaches.
The doctor's diagnosis -- leukemia. Mom gasped and Dad held her, while I fought
hard to keep my tears from falling. At that moment, I loved you all the more. I couldn't

even bear to leave your side. Then the doctors told us that your only hope was to have a
bone marrow transplant. You became the subject of a nationwide donor search. When at
last we found the right match, you were too sick, and the doctor reluctantly ruled out the
operations. Since then, you underwent chemotherapy and radiation.
Even at the end, you continued to pursue life. Just a month before you died, you
made me draw up a list of things you wanted to do when you got out of the hospital. Two
days after the list was completed, you asked the doctors to send you home. There, we
ate ice cream and cake, run across the grass, flew kites, went fishing, took pictures of
one another and let the balloons fly.
I remember the last conversation that we had. You said that if you die, and if I
need of help, I could send you a note to heaven by tying it on the string any a balloon
and letting it fly. When you said this, I started crying. Then you hugged me. Then again,
for the last time, you got sick.
That last night, you asked for water, a back rub, a cuddle. Finally, you went into
seizure with tears streaming down your face. Later, at the hospital, you struggled to talk
but the words wouldn't come. I know what you wanted to say. "I hear you," I whispered.
And for the last time, I said, "I'll always love you and I will never forget you. Don't be
afraid. You'll soon be with God in heaven." Then, with my tears flowing freely, I watched
the bravest boy I had ever known finally stop breathing. Dad, Mom and I cried until I felt
as if there were no more tears left.
Patrick was finally gone, leaving us behind. From then on, you were my source of
inspiration. You showed me how to love life and live life to the fullest. With your simplicity
and honesty, you showed me a world full of love and caring. And you made me realize
that the most important thing in this life is to continue loving without asking why or how
and without setting any limit. Thank you, my little brother, for all these.
Your sister, Sarah
It's a LIFE, not a CHOICE. "Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus."

two of his disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter
it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it
here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it.'"
Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. As they were
untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?" They
replied, "The Lord needs it."
They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he

5) LET’S ……………READ
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in
urban Brooklyn, arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw their church, it
was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their
first service on Christmas Eve. They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc. and on
Dec. 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished.
On Dec 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. On the
21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sunk when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a
large area of plaster about 6 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit,
beginning about head high. The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do
but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home.
On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity so he
stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, hand-made, ivory colored, crocheted table cloth with exquisite
work, fine colors and a cross embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in
the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.
By this time, it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying
to catch the bus. She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45
minutes later. She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc. to put
up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered
up the entire problem area. Then he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle.
Her face was like a sheet. "Pastor," she asked, "Where did you get that tablecloth?" The pastor
explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crotcheted
into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years
before, in Austria.
The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten the tablecloth. The
woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria. When the
Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. She was
captured, sent to prison and never saw her husband or her home again. The pastor wanted to give her the
tablecloth; but she made the pastor keep it for the church. The pastor insisted on driving her home, that was
the least he could do. She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a
housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and
the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and
many said that they would return. One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood,
continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving.
The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one
that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two
tablecloths so much alike? He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her
safety, and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a concentration camp. He never
saw his wife or his home again for all he 35 years in between.
The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island
and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped the man climb
the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Christmas
reunion he could ever imagine.

Luke 22:39-46
Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. On
reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."
He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, "Father,
if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." An
angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he
prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep,
exhausted from sorrow. "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray
so that you will not fall into temptation."
b) Now, the teacher will read (a sentence at a time) “WITH” you “twice”.

reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."
He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, "Father,
if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." An
angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he
prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep,
exhausted from sorrow. "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray
so that you will not fall into temptation."
c) Now, the student will read (a sentence at a time) “FOR” the teacher.

town of Arimathea and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. Going to Pilate, he
asked for Jesus' body. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it
in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. It was Preparation

5) LET’S ……………READ
It was only four days before Christmas. The spirit of the season hadn't yet caught up with me, even
though cars packed the parking lot of our local discount store. Inside the store, it was worse. Shopping carts
and last minute shoppers jammed the aisles. Why did I come today? I wondered. My feet ached almost as
much as my head. My list contained names of several people who claimed they wanted nothing but I knew
their feelings would be hurt if I didn't buy them anything. Buying for someone who had everything and
deploring the high cost of items, I considered gift-buying anything but fun.
Hurriedly, I filled my shopping cart with last minute items and proceeded to the long checkout lines.
I picked the shortest but it looked as if it would mean at least a 20 minute wait. In front of me were two small
children -- a boy of about 5 and a younger girl. The boy wore a ragged coat. Enormously large, tattered
tennis shoes jutted far out in front of his much too short jeans. He clutched several crumpled dollar bills in
his grimy hands. The girl's clothing resembled her brother's. Her head was a matted mass of curly hair.
Reminders of an evening meal showed on her small face. She carried a beautiful pair of shiny, gold house
slippers.
As the Christmas music sounded in the store's stereo system, the girl hummed along, off-key but
happily. When we finally approached the checkout register, the girl carefully placed the shoes on the
counter. She treated them as though they were a treasure.
The clerk rang up the bill. "That will be $6.09," she said.
The boy laid his crumpled dollars on top of the stand while he searched his pockets. He finally
came up with $3.12. "I guess we will have to put them back, " he bravely said. "We will come back some
other time, maybe tomorrow."
With that statement, a soft sob broke from the little girl. "But Jesus would have loved these shoes, "
she cried.
"Well, we'll go home and work some more. Don't cry. We'll come back," he said.
Quickly I handed $3.00 to the cashier. These children had waited in line for a long time. And, after all, it was
Christmas. Suddenly a pair of arms came around me and a small voice said,
"Thank you lady."
"What did you mean when you said Jesus would like the shoes?" I asked.
The boy answered, "Our mommy is sick and going to heaven. Daddy said she might go before
Christmas to be with Jesus."
The girl spoke, "My Sunday school teacher said the streets in heaven are shiny gold, just like these
shoes. Won't mommy be beautiful walking on those streets to match these shoes?"
My eyes flooded as I looked into her tear streaked face. "Yes" I answered, " I am sure she will."
Silently I thanked God for using these children to remind me of the true spirit of giving.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices
they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the
tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While
they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like
lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces
to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the
dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still
with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men,
be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’" Then they remembered his

5) LET’S ……………READ
Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at their church, the Pastor and his 11year-old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel tracts. This particular Sunday
afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was
very cold outside as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest
clothes and said excitedly,
"Okay Dad, I'm ready!"
His Pastor Dad asked, "Ready for what?
"Dad, it's time we gather our Bible tracts together and go out."
Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's really pouring down rain."
The boy gave his Dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell,
even though it's raining?"
Dad answered slowly, "Son, I am not going out in this weather."
Despondently the boy asks, "Dad, can I go -- Please? Come on Dad.."
His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go.
Here's the tracts; be careful son."
"Thanks, Dad!" He jumped up and with that he was off and out the door dashing into the
rain. This 11-year-old boy walked the streets of the town going door-to-door and handing
everybody he met in the street a Gospel tract. After 2-hours of walking in the rain he was soaked
to the bone-chilled wet and down to his very last Bible tract. He stopped on a corner and looked
for someone to hand a tract to but the streets were totally deserted.
Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front
door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell -- but nobody answered. He rang it again and again
bit still no one answered. He waited but still no answer. Finally, this 11-year-old trooper turned to
leave but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked
loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch. He
rang again, and this time the door slowly opened.
Standing in the doorway was a very sad looking elderly lady. She softly asked, "Yes? What can I
do for you, son?"
With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I
disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that, JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU! I came to give
you my very last Gospel tract which will tell you all about Jesus and His great love." With that he
handed her his last tract, and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed, "Thank you, son!
And God bless you!" he heard a cheerful uplift to her voice.
Well, the following Sunday morning in church, Pastor Dad was in the pulpit and as the
service began he asked, "Does anybody have a testimony or want to say anything?"
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to
speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face. "None of you in this Church know me. I've
never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband has
passed on, some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a
particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart . . . as I came to the end of the
line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.
"So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I
fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof then stood on the chair and fastened the other
end of the rope around my neck. "Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted, I was
about to leap off when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought,
'Wait, I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.'
"I waited and waited-- but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent
and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly.
I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be?! Nobody ever rings my bell or
comes to see me!' "I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while
the bell rang louder and louder. When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my
eyes!
- 119 -
ALTOGETHER LOVELY MINISTRIES © All Rights Reserved www.altogetherlovely.org
"There on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in
my life! His smile! Oh, I could never describe it to you! And the words that came from his mouth
caused my heart, that had long been dead, to leap to life again, as he exclaimed with cherub-like
voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU.'
"Then he gave me this Gospel tract that I now hold in my hand. As the little angel
disappeared back out, into the damp cold and rain, I then closed my door and read slowly every
word of this Gospel tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be
needing them any more.
"You see, I am now a happy child of the KING, and since the address of your church was
on the back of this Gospel tract I have come here to personally say, 'Thank you to God's little
angel who came just in the nick of time, and by doing so, spared my soul from an eternity in
Hell.'"
There were now no dry eyes in the church. As shouts of praise and honor to the KING
resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front
pew where the little angel was seated. He took him in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Probably no church has had a more glorious moment and probably this Universe has
never seen a Papa that was more filled with love and honor for his son, except for one: This
Father, God, also allowed His Son, Jesus, to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His
Son back with unspeakable, and as all of Heaven shouted praises and honor to the King, the
Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that
is named.
There may be someone, reading this, who is also going through a dark, cold and lonely
time in your soul. You may be a Christian, for we are not without problems, or you may not yet
know the King. Whatever the case, and whatever the problem or situation you find yourself in,
and no matter how dark it may seem, I want you to know that I just came to tell you, "JESUS
REALLY DOES LOVE YOU!"
"'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16)
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands
condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.'" John

students, have two drawers who know the same word and each drawer should have a partner trying to guess
the word being drawn. Again, they are competing against each other to try to guess the word first.
Play a dice game. Use 2 dice and write 2-12 on a piece of paper. 2-5 players can roll the dice. Each time, they

44. SCATTER the 26 letters around (in order or mixed up). Have them give the letter and then the sound.
45. "I Went to the Market" Game. First, read this short poem to your child:
Johnny went to the market. Johnny went to the store.
But when poor Johnny got there, he forgot what he went there for.
Momma gave him a list. Momma gave it to him twice.
And what Momma wanted was a big bag of rice...
Now say, "Momma wanted a bag of rice and carrots."
Your child repeats that and adds another item, "Momma wanted rice and carrots and a cake."
It's your turn. "Momma wanted rice, carrots, cake and a tulip." Take turns until someone gets an item out of order or
forgets an item. Make it fun by adding items such as a football or alligators.
46. #45 ABOVE is to highlight a letter sound. Play this game thinking of items that begin with w such as, "Momma
wanted a walrus, walnuts, wink and a wand."
47. Put the “5 short vowels” on “green cards” and “a few consonants” on “red cards”. Have the students try to make
words. You can add more vowels and consonants later. [More difficult: you use two vowels and four consonants
then a 6 letter word would get six points and so on]
48. Spell “word families”. [ax, tax, fax, etc.]
49. Walk around the room with “stickers”. Say different objects. Spell the words and have them stick it on the object.
50. Write a list of words (sign, bang, hang, ring, hung, ping, pong, lung, rang, sang) Teach it first and then see how
far they can get without missing a word. Ask them to “go up the elevator” or “swim across the river”.
51. Reading: while reading ask if “him” is “Jim or him”. Ask if “bat” is “cat or bat”. Etc.
52. Reading: have them draw a picture after you have read the story.
53. Reading: talk about the setting before you read the story
54. Reading: give them the title of a story and ask them to tell what is going to happen.
55. Reading: as you read, sometimes ask them what they think will happen next. Talk about the characters,
situation, the setting, etc.
56. Reading: encourage the children to read to their younger brothers/sisters
57. Reading: give “raisins” or “small candies” to anyone who went to a bookstore or a library during the week.
58. Writing: when a student tells you something that has happened to them – write the story down. Then read it with
them together. It becomes even more meaningful.
59. Writing: write letters to people (Jesus, aunts, uncles, parents, friends, teachers)
60. Writing: write out words, than phrases, and then sentences for them to copy. [later, put in mistakes and see if
they can find the mistakes]
61. Writing: use dictation for words, than phrases, and then sentences.
62. Dictate one sentence at a time until they have a short story.
63. Make a book by first asking the children to think of a topic such as favorite animals, toys, vacation trips, birthday
presents, friends or a movie. If your child doesn't write well, he'll dictate the words while you write them down. If
he has some writing skills, help him to spell the words. Write the title on the front page and his name - Tigers by
Jerome. Write one short sentence per page. Keep the words as close as possible to what he said. We want him
to be able to match what he said to what is printed. Read the book to him running your finger under the words
while reading. Then ask him to read the book to you several times. Let him draw pictures to complete his
masterpiece. Keep his books together in a basket or box. He will read them over and over to anyone who
listens. These books will increase his sight word vocabulary and increase his interest in reading.
64. You can also teach alphabet letters and letter sounds by using an Alphabet Chart above with pictures.
*Be sure to point to each letter as you are saying the letter name and letter sound.
*Review the alphabet chart daily soon your child will be able to point to each letter and say the sounds himself!
When you are teaching a letter sound, be careful not to add an "uh" sound at the end of the letter. For example,
letter s should sound like a snake hissing, with no throat sound. Letter s says 'sss,' not 'suh.' If your child learns
letters 'c', 'a', 't' as sounding 'kuh,' 'aah,' and 'tuh,' those sounds will not come together to say cat!
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Spelling Rules
“I” before “e” except after “c” or when sounding like “a” as in “neighbor” and “weigh.
For “k” sound, use “k” before “e” and “I”. Use “c” before other vowels (cat, keg, kit, cot, cut)
Change “y” to “I” and add “es”. This works when there is a consonant before the “y” as in baby or city.
Drop a silent “e” before endings which start with a vowel, but keep the silent “e” before endings which start with
a consonant. Examples: baking, bakes.
In one-syllable words with a final, single consonant, double the consonant before an ending which begins with a
vowel. Examples: running, hitting.
Follow “q” with “u” in all common English words.

For Further Growth in Biblical English
(for Biblical ESL/EFL learners)
The following are some suggestions to help you grow in Biblical English.
Learning English is parallel to our Christian walk. As you grow as a Christian,
you’ll find that the old patterns, sins, and struggles will fall away. It is the same with
English. As your English ability improves, the things that used to be difficult will
suddenly not seem so difficult. Life demands growth. If we aren’t growing we are
dying. It is the same with English. Your English ability will improve the more you
use it, practice it, and grow in it.
Check some of the suggestions that you think you could use in your life. Then
put a star beside the ones that you are already doing.

Build on the BASIC English patterns. Then add new vocabulary to them. Most English
learners don’t have a firm foundation of the BASICS. (Record yourself and listen to
yourself weeks later to see how you are improving).
Tape cards of conversations, bible verses, and phrases around your house, car and
office. This helps you “think” in English.
Listen to tapes, sermons, etc. Repeat verbally what you hear. You can also “write” what
you hear. Then check the script for accuracy.
Listen to English movies (cover up the writing underneath). Repeat what you hear to
yourself. Eg) The Jesus Film, Joseph, Moses, etc.
Listen to tapes. Listen to a sentence. Shut off the machine and try to figure out what
they will say next.
Start a Bible Study, prayer group, or “sharing group.” The best way to learn is to
“lead”. Don’t worry about mistakes. Be honest with the group. You don’t have to be
perfect. God doesn’t use perfect people. He uses “willing” people.
Have English “only” mornings, evenings, or days.
During the day, think of a conversation you had and translate it into English.
Try Christian “chat” rooms on the Internet
Write Christian poetry, Christian songs, letters to encourage people, etc.
Go to a place you enjoy. Begin to pray for someone you can witness/share your
testimony to in English.
Pick a situation. Write a conversation. Eg) Talking to a Buddhist about Christ.
Talk to yourself in English.
Try new and different approaches to remind yourself throughout the day to study. Eg)
Set your watch for an “English moment”
Try to say more when you speak. Say two or three sentences not just one line.
Try to initiate or start conversations with people
Put labels on things in your house or workplace. Eg) In your Bible put some of God’s
promises, or “who you are” in Christ, or “proofs of Christ’s deity”
Imagine yourself talking to people before you actually talk to them. What are you
going to say, etc. Ask God to bring people into your life.
Keep a journal of what you are learning on a tape recorder. Play it back at times.
Purchase the Bible on cassette. Listen, repeat, and/or write what you hear.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK (FOR THE TEACHER):
The following are a few thoughts on how to teach this book. This book can be used for one on one
discipleship, bible studies, and larger group settings. Nobody can tell someone how to teach. Please be
aware of how “YOU” teach as an individual. My goal was to give lots of material as well as to provide
a teaching tool that would take little preparation and be used by “saints” to further the kingdom.
The following are only a few of the many suggestions that you can use to teach this material with:







Let’s Recite and Write (#1). I read the verse and then have them repeat it. Or I ask a student
to say the verse. You may want to write the prayer on the board – then erase a few words –
then read the verse and have the students say the missing words without looking at their
books. Finally, they can write in class or for homework. Have them “meditate” on the verse.
Let’s Pronounce (#2). I spend little time on teaching the meaning of the words. I usually start
by ‘sounding out’ the word slowly. Then I move across ‘building up to a normal speed.’
Let’s Rhyme and Spell (#3). I don’t spend teaching the meaning of words. I also spend time
spelling in large groups or in groups of 2, 3, or 4.
Let’s Describe (#4). This can be done by reading, drawing, and/or acting. I usually read the
description first. Then I will act or draw the word. As they get better, you can say the word
and then have them describe it.
Let’s Play a Game (#5) or Let’s Read. I’ve put a few games to play. Also see “Activities”
(pages 121-122). I’ve also compiled a few stories for reading enjoyment.
Let’s Worship Using Names for Jesus (#6). You may teach the students “free worship” also.
I don’t do much with the Bible reference. I let them learn to worship!!
Let’s Read (#7). These are Scriptures from Luke’s Gospel. Here are some reading ideas:
Reading: while reading ask if “him” is “Jim or him”. Ask if “bat” is “cat or bat”. Etc.
Reading: have them draw a picture after you have read the story.
Reading: talk about the setting before you read the story
Reading: give them the title of a story and ask them to tell what is going to happen.
Reading: as you read, sometimes ask them what they think will happen next.
Reading: talk about the characters, the situation, the setting, etc.
Reading: encourage the children to read to their younger brothers/sisters
Reading: give “raisins” or “small candies” to anyone who went to a bookstore or a library during the week.
A READING METHOD: “TO – WITH – BY”
Read the short selection to him twice.
Read the same selection with him twice.
Finally, ask him to read it by himself twice.
When you do To, With, and By in a short selection - A little bit of good reading is better than a whole lot of bad reading.
ANOTHER METHOD:
1) READ THE SCRIPTURE AND DRAW A PICTURE.
2) HAVE THE STUDENTS TRY TO FIND CERTAIN WORDS IN THE SCRIPTURE.
3) HAVE THE STUDENTS WRITE A BIBLE VERSE FROM THE SCRIPTURE.


Let’s Sing (#8). You can write the song on the board. Then remove a few words. Have the
students try to “fill in the blank” to the missing words.
Let’s Pray (#9). I finish up with a prayer. I have the students “repeat” each line.
Final Notes: You can easily use each chapter for 1 ½ to 2 hours. For younger students you can
break the chapter up into two 50 minute sessions by adding a few games and activities.
FINALLY, USE YOUR IMAGINATION. MAKE A READING EXERCISE INTO A
WRITING EXERCISE. MAKE A SPELLING EXERCISE INTO A PRONUNCIATION
EXERCISE, ETC. GOD WILL LEAD YOU AND HELP ADAPT YOU TO YOUR
STUDENTS AND THEIR LEVELS. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU LEARN FROM THE
“TEACHER – CHRIST JESUS”
