CHILDREN’S BOOK BY LADIES’ FELLOWSHIP
The Ten Parables of Jesus is a most timely book for the Church today. My heartfelt thanks to the Ladies’ Fellowship for initiating and completing this book aimed at reaching out to our children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The book can serve as a catalyst for parents to start teaching their children the deep things of God. When parents do their part, God will do His part. Parents, read the Scriptures to your children and pray for them, and see God’s gracious work in their lives, even yours.
