The Spring Bible School, organized by the Second Baptist Church of the Barrio \u00c1frica neighborhood, was a resounding success. Held under the theme, \u201cIf God Is With Me, I Will Defeat the Giant!\u201d, the three-day event saw children and their families participate in activities that blended biblical instruction, recreation, and reflection\u2014all inspired by the story of David and Goliath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day One: \u201cDavid\u201d on the Big Screen The opening day brought together 23 children, who enjoyed a screening of the Christian children\u2019s film *David*. The movie recounts the youth of the future King of Israel and his unwavering trust in God as he prepared to face the Philistine giant. As it is written: \u201cThe Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle belongs to the Lord\u201d (1 Samuel 17:47).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Day Two: Fearless, With Faith Attendance rose to 38 children for the second session, titled \u201cIf God Is With Me, I Have No Fear.\u201d Through interactive activities and games, the children learned to place their trust in the Lord when facing adversity. The central scripture verse for the day was: \u201cDo not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God who strengthens you\u201d (Isaiah 41:10).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Day Three: An Outdoor Excursion For the grand finale, 54 children participated in an excursion titled \u201cDavid: The Shepherd-King,\u201d where they learned more about the life of God\u2019s anointed one\u2014from his days tending sheep to his reign as king. Prior to their departure, a workshop was held for parents and family members titled \u201cWhen Parents Justify Everything, Children Lose Their Way.\u201d This session was grounded in the biblical principle: \u201cTrain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it\u201d (Proverbs 22:6).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary and Spiritual Fruit Total attendance over the three days reached 105 children. Church leadership reported that 36 children accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior\u2014a testament to the spiritual fruit borne from the seeds that were sown. As the Scripture declares: \u201cI have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging for bread\u201d (Psalm 37:25).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Second Baptist Church of Barrio \u00c1frica expressed its gratitude to the parents for their trust, and to the brethren who made this spring school possible\u2014an event that left an indelible mark on the children of the community. But above all, thanks be to God for guiding this time; to Him be the glory. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With gratitude, TOSI International \/ \u201cAntorcha de Salvaci\u00f3n\u201d Baptist Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to support our ministry, you can do so through the following link: https:\/\/secure.qgiv.com\/for\/torosal<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you wish to subscribe to our mailing list, you can write to us at our email address to sign up: torchsalvation@gmail.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
