Viavia kwam ik op een blog terecht. ForShamin en daar kwam ik een heel mooi idee tegen. En iedereen mocht het idee gebruiken.  Daarom deel ik het ook op mijn blog en jup, jullie mogen het ook gebruiken. Ik laat een voorbeeld zien, hoe hij naar 1 van mijn meiden is gestuurd. Dit is via de site van USA. Maar je kan hem ook per post sturen of via de website van Compassion Nederland.

Want hoe geweldig is het als de kinderen leren over mannen en vrouwen die sterk staan in hun geloof en er naar hun beste kunnen er naar leven en hun hoop stellen op God?
Het zijn verhalen waar wij ook van kunnen leren! Daarom zal ik elke keer als ik een Men & Women of Faith brief verstuur, hem hier ook delen!

Hier onder de tekst in de geschreven Engelse vorm:

My dear Name,

Greetings in the name of Jesus. How are you and your family? i’m doing well, thanks to God! I am so encouraged by reading stories of followers of Jesus and thought I would share some of these stories with you! I hope that you are also encouraged by this story.

Amy Carmichael was born in 1867 into a well-to-do North Ireland Christian family. In her teen years, she was educated at a Wesleyan Methodist boarding school; and at age 13, while still in boarding school, she accepted Christ as Savior. When she was age 18, her father died and the family moved to Belfast. There she became involved in visiting in the slums, and seeing the terrible conditions under which many women and girls worked in the factories, she began a ministry with these women. It was a work based on faith alone in God, and He met the needs in most remarkable ways. After about one year in England, she returned to the field, this time to India. She arrived in Madras in November of 1895, a discouraged, confused, and ill young Irish woman. She was 28 years old. A life-changing experience took place in 1901. A little five-year-old girl, named Pearl Eyes by Amy, was brought to her by an Indian woman. The child had been sold by the mother to the temple. Twice she had run away only to be caught, carried back, and beaten. Finally, as she was running away again at night, she met with an understanding woman who brought her to Amy, who gathered the child up into her lap. This incident led to the founding of the Dohnavur Fellowship. Over the years literally thousands of temple children have been rescued and other ministries established there at the Dohnavur Fellowship in South India. Other areas of the work over the years were added such as hospital, schools, printing, etc.

One of Amy’s favorite verses as 1 Corinthians 3:12-14, “Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.”

I am praying for you and I love you!

Love,

Name

Foto’s kan je googlen, Ik heb geprobeerd dezelfde foto’s te gebruiken als Hannah. Maar je kan elke bijpassende gebruiken! Ik probeerde ieder geval een mooie en duidelijke landkaart te vinden, zodat de kinderen zich ook kunnen oriënteren.

Please, voel je vrij om alles te kopiëren!
