Grace Kids
Last week, we taught how Paul became a Christian. Paul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus, and his life was never the same. We heard how God changed Paul from the inside out. He started to preach that Jesus is the Son of God. This Sunday, we’ll learn about how Paul became a missionary and how he shared the good news of Jesus with all people, whether Jew or Gentile.
God had a plan for Paul to share the gospel with Gentiles no matter what troubles he faced. Many believed in Jesus. The church grew and the gospel spread so that people all over the world could be saved from their sins by trusting in Jesus.
Please pray for the children to trust in Jesus and experience forgiveness like Paul. Then, pray for those who have already done this to help others experience a changed life through faith in Jesus.
