Story of Redemption Reaches Four Young Hearts

[John Dobbs]

Our small group has six youngsters that are full of energy and who have wide open hearts for God's Word. Some of them were desiring to be baptized. At such a young age, their parents were concerned that they need to have some grasp of what baptism meant and how it is a part of a larger faith experience. 

We decided to study through THE STORY OF REDEMPTION authored by James Nored. Each week the kids eagerly read the Scriptures. With great interest they talked about the stories covered in this excellent series. 

When we got through with lesson 8 (the last one), none of them expressed a desire to be baptized at that time. A few weekends later, however, at the Gregg household the children were asking questions. Matt and Barbara, having raised them in a Christian home, began showing them the Scriptures and using TSOR as a study guide. 

I was very happy Saturday night to receive a message that all four of them wanted to be baptized the next morning. Our church rejoices to see the young faith of these wonderful children. Our first thanks is to God for His amazing mercy and grace. I also want to thank James for his work in putting THE STORY within easy reach.
