Today is a special day for me because I had the priviledge of sharing the gospel with Caleb. Caleb is 6 and is able to reason and think logically. So I thought he would be ready to make the decision for Christ. I booked a Saturday so Hebron can spend some time to Dai-dai and I can share with Caleb. Since Caleb likes to read alot, I used the wordless book to spark his interest. I told him what each color meant. It turns out that Caleb is very familiar with the gospel. He said teachers told him about what Jesus did on the cross in preschool in room C6 and also in Kindergarten. I guess he heard it, but have yet to make a decision. So I asked if he believed in Jesus and would he want Jesus in his life and he said, "yes!"
I don't expect drastic change in his life from here on, because as a child, I am not sure if he completely understands what it means to accept Christ as his personal Savior. But at least hearing the gospel will give him a good foundation and moves him toward a life long relationship with our Creator. I pray that as he grows, he will make this faith his own. In the meantime, Hebron and I will try to be a good role model for him.
After his decision, I told him that angels in heaven are rejoicing because he became a child of God and is born again. So we went to Chuck-e-cheese to celebrate.

Kitty,
So wonderful that Caleb accepted Christ! Yay!! This definitely pleases me....as he just graduated from Beginner's Church and is now a big boy in Children's Church.
Will be praying that he will continue to grow stronger in the Lord.
Luv, Kathy
