Treasure seekers is a correspondence course which is open to all children...although is best suited to those of primary school age. It is currently operating in Kenya with over 5000 children enrolled. Children receive a lesson with a Bible story, questions to answer, a Bible verse to learn and an activity to complete. Each lesson is returned for marking and another lesson issued.
The course is offered free of charge to all children, however it costs FML approximately £10 (KES 1300) to take an individual child through the lessons. With so many children already studying, this is a massive step of faith for us. Pray that God would provide the needed funds.
Upon completion of 15 lessons, each child will be awarded an Authorised King James Version of the Bible. They can then continue with Part 2 of the course and complete another 15 lessons.

MEMORABLE DAY AS THE FIRST CHILDREN TO COMPLETE THE COURSE RECEIVE THEIR BIBLES!
Saturday 29 March 2008 was a very exciting day for the FML team. Pamela was in Kenya and was able to present Bibles to the first group of children to complete the correspondence course. There was great expectation as numerous people involved with FML travelled to meet the children.
The children acted out a play and then received their Bibles. We pray that God would speak to them through His Word and bless them greatly as they soon begin Part 2 of the course and become familiar with their Bibles.
Some young children received Bibles...
...and some older children
All were happy. WELL DONE!
New children are being enrolled, almost on a daily basis. In addition to those above, quite a number of children have almost finished and will soon be receiving their Bibles.
Pray the Lord will save these children and their families!

WHAT THE CHILDREN SAID.......
Below are extracts taken from letters which were written to Pamela by some of the children who received Bibles in March 2008.
"How are you in the United Kingdom? I am fine. I was happy with the gift you gave. I enjoy doing Feed My Lambs lessons. I have learnt much about the Bible and many verses. My name is Mercy. I am a girl. I am eleven years old."

"Thank you very much for the presents that you gave me, especially the Bible. I will learn many things from the Bible. May God bless you for the gifts that you gave me. Yours friendly, Cedric."
"Thanks alot for the Holy Bible I received from you. The Bible will be of great meaning to our family. It is the only English Bible we have got in our house. The Bible will help me to know more about God. Your friend, Hellen."

JULY 2008
During the month of July 670 Bibles have been presented to boys and girls in different areas of Nairobi, Nakuru and Kisii. We attended many different venues. The numbers of children who received Bibles varied; 4 in one church, 20 in another, 80 in another and 175 in another; to name just a few.....each one special and precious to us.....and more importantly to God.
Praise God for the many children who are continuing to learn the Word of God from our lessons. Pray that they will be saved at a young age. Remember those who are just starting at Lesson 1 and pray for those who will now continue the second part of the course using their Bibles.
