St James Kununurra is supporting the Kununurra Peoples Church to reach Aboriginal children with the hope of Jesus.
Each Thursday up to 50 children aged 5 to 14 come to Bethel Bible Study, where they enjoy a simple meal followed by Bible study and games.
St James member Jenni De Vries said the weekly gathering shines a light in the darkness for the children, most of whom are not connected to any church. “We pray, sing songs, watch an episode of Superbook and have a short talk.
“The program is only meant to be for primary school kids but some of the older ones have wanted to keep coming! Year 7 and above now have a separate activity with a Bible study and discussion with a couple of leaders."
Jenni said the leaders are considering a more structured discipleship and worldview training group for the older students. "It will require a lot of prayer and planning and we are still seeking God’s direction about this."
Please pray for Bethel Bible Study.
