Pamela enjoys working directly with the boys and girls in Kenya.  Included below are a few brief details of some of the opportunities she has had during her visits to Africa. (most recent first)

PRINTING OF LITERATURE FOR CHILDREN

July 2008 - We are very excited to announce that we have just printed our own tracts/Gospel leaflets.  Our prayer is that these will be distributed among boys and girls in Kenya.  The leaflets are based on the flag of Kenya and as well as giving a little information about the flag itself, relevant lessons are also brought from God's Word.  Pamela is currently working on a few more titles.  Pray that God will bless this new area of ministry in the days to come and that unsaved and saved children alike will be spoken to through the written message.

March 2008 - During this visit Pamela didn't directly teach the children; but took the opportunity to simply spend time with some little ones.   Times like this are very important and help to build up trust and confidence, especially when the visitor looks and speaks so differently.  Hopefully the friendships made will help make all more comfortable when it comes to sharing the Gospel and evangelising.

In one particular village; during previous visits; the children were sometimes shy and curious around Pamela.  It was encouraging to see them so much more relaxed and confident during this trip.  On one occasion, as they trailed around an old rope, Pamela began a game of skipping.  All, including Pamela, enjoyed participating and it was lovely to see the children enjoy themselves and continue to have fun even as Pamela was leaving.

The photo below shows some of the children enjoying the skipping...though the rope doesn't show up too well!

July 2007 - Pamela was encouraged by her visit to one particular church in Nairobi.  She was given opportunity to teach the children for a period of about 2 hours.  There was lots of singing, a memory verse, Bible Lesson and Pamela also shared her testimony.  The testimony was shared in story form about a little girl in the UK who was saved and eventually called to Kenya.  The children listened carefully and were amazed to discover that the little girl was Pamela!!

Pamela also taught them a CEF lesson about a little boy from Niger who was given a wordless book and became a little missionary himself by using the book to share the Gospel with his friends.  Pamela gave each child a wordless book of their own and encouraged them to use it.  What a joy to later speak to a mother who was able to tell us the Gospel story....why?...because her 6 year old son had used his wordless book to teach his mummy!  "A little child will lead them!"

December 2006 - It was a joy for Pamela to teach children in the Kisii area of Kenya.  In 2 particular churches the children listened intently to the lesson of the paralysed man.

July 2006 - A missions day was held in a church in Nairobi.  Pamela, as well as teaching a Bible Lesson, also taught the children about her home country of Ireland.
