26 Royal Ranger boys and girls of Tanoliu village made salvation wristbands as part of their activities on Sunday afternoon. They used black, red, white, green and yellow beads threaded on leather stapping. This exercise was a fun time with the older children helping the younger children with the threading. Some of the parents watching joined is as well and made their own bracelet.
They learnt how to explain the salvation story by using the coloured beads. These children are going to wear their wristbands to the village school on Monday to share the Good News with their friends.
UPDATE:
Last night (17th November) The Pastor who is also the Royal Ranger Commander of this group shared at our leadership the next part of this story. The Sunday after he asked for testimony from the children about what happened when they wore their Salvation wristbands to school. Many gave testimony that they were able to share with their friends the plan of Salvation, some even had the opportunity to share with their teacher.
This Pastor is also a teacher at a French School, he shared with us that using the Salvation wristand that he had made he was able to witness to the teachers at his school. He also used it in his parent teacher interviews, when talking about the students problems, and point the parents to Jesus.
We will be making more of these as we travel around the various groups next year. What a way to empower children to witness.
