It is summer on Siargao Island. It can reach 33+ Celsius everyday. We look for shady areas to do all ministries.
Hope Kid’s Ministry leaders have been very creative getting the kids to read God’s Word by having a Memory Verse Contest. The teachers gave the kids in seven different villages a page of memory verses.
These verses are directly related to their identity in Christ as well as key verses about God’s love for them. The children worked on memorizing these verses for three weeks. They then presented the verses and were awarded books from our Hope Community Library.
We have also had a book exchange program. Up to six books were given to each child. A week later, during Kid’s Ministry they exchanged books with each other. It was a huge success!
We decided to give books to the kids for memorizing scripture as well. One of the moms admitted, “I don’t know as many Bible verses as the kids do.” These children can have a positive influence in their home and community.
Continue to pray for the children in our ministries to the seven villages near Hope For The Island. There are so many distractions in their little lives that can pull them down a sinful path. The Word of God is the one truth that leads them down the road to future glory with Christ!
