God with the Jr High

“Miss Kelli, I have a question. Do you think everyone is born a sinner, even babies?” One of my favorite things about teaching at Immanuel Mission is that I get to preach the Gospel every day. Last week we were learning about the births of Jacob and Esau. No matter how many times we’ve studied the Gospel and memorized the verses, it still takes the convincing work of the Holy Spirit to cause the growth. What followed that question was a very lovely discussion in which my Jr High students were free to share what they know and to ask questions about things they weren’t sure about. We drew connections to what we had learned the week previous regarding the rapture and kids with believing parents and what it means to be “left behind”. Pray with me that the Holy Spirit will continue His work in these young minds and hearts and that they will continue to seek Him.   —Kelli Wilson
