“I will give thanks to the Lord because of His righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.” (Psalms 7:17)

Last Friday, I told the story of how God used the Bible Club to impact our principal. Another miracle that came out of the Bible club is that students began coming to Bible Club from–everywhere!

As the Bible Club continued, it began to attract students from all ages. Soon we had grade 4 students sitting side-by-side with students in Grade 8. Normally the younger students don’t feel comfortable with the older ones, but it was obvious that all of the students were comfortable being together, despite the difference in ages. Praise God!

Another miracle was in the fact that high school students began to attend our elementary school Bible Club! Generally when elementary students graduate and go on to high school, they don’t ever return to visit their elementary schools; however, one day, one of my former students who was then in high school, volunteered to help lead the Bible Club at her former school, and she brought others with her!

It wasn’t long before other staff began to attend as well. The school’s custodian was the first to attend. She was a Christian, and the concept of a Bible Club in an elementary school amazed her. The club members welcomed her with open arms. It was only a few weeks later that our former principal began to return to the school to attend the Bible Club!

It is important to understand that we did not do any advertisement for the Bible Club. Instead, we prayed that God would bring in the students and leaders. As we allowed Him to guide us, more and more students came. And the more they came, the more they were set on fire for Christ. But then, why would we have expected anything less? Our Father is never passive, and He cares so much!

We thanked God for His miracle of attendance; and even more, we thanked Him for the miracles He would continue to work through our Bible Club. There is ALWAYS Hope in Jesus!
