It was a wonderful privilege to listen to twenty seven children from a variety of churches in North Wales sitting in a circle and sharing how Jesus was special to them and why he is such good news.
“He always forgives us!”
“He is the perfect Son of God!”
“He took the blame for our sin on the cross!”
“He will raise us up on the last day like he did Lazarus!”
We then discussed how people love to share good news with their friends. The more our hearts believe Jesus is good news the more we will share him and his message with those around us.
After learning Romans 10:15 off by heart we finished by praying for beautiful feet which take the good news of Jesus all over North Wales. The children drew around their feet, cut around the outline and wrote their prayers on their footprints. It was moving to hear so many of the children reading out their prayers in Welsh and English and then sticking them on our map of north Wales.
Remember the next generation in your prayers. Pray that they would have a deep love for Jesus, a deep love for the people of North Wales and a courage from the Holy Spirit to share the good news of the gospel with others.
