These two little girls are fairly new to the church, but have been coming for a while. Their hair is cut so short because they had gotten lice and had to have the hair cut off.

I have a teaching method that I like to use with the kids. I'll ask one child if God loves them and they usually answer yes. Then say to the next child, "He/She says God loves him/her. How do we know?" They will answer, "You can read it in the Bible." So I ask the next child where you can read it in the Bible and they are supposed to answer John 3:16. Then we can quote it together. This method works well especially since I've found out the Thai are great memorizers.

Sunday night I was asking these kinds of questions while they were coloring a coloring page, only I had changed it to asking them. "If you plant a banana plant will you get apples?" They answered no of course. It was fine until I came down to these two girls. I asked them, "If you plant a rose bush will it produce fish?" They answered, "Yes." I asked them how they know. They answered right off, "You can read it in the Bible." I asked them several times and got the same answer each time. I think they understand the method even if they don't understand the truth. It was cute and they are learning. Of course if you could read it in the Bible it would be true whether it made sense or not, but I think we'd better review the story of creation. The other pictire won't up load. I'll have to try later.
