My dear Friend,
Can you believe it? God is giving us—you and
me—the privilege of being workers together with
Him. This is what Paul says of himself and Apollos:
“we are workers together with God” (1 Corinthians
3:9). And it is true of us in the ministry to children He
has entrusted to us.
We are working together to help children and
young people to believe that God loves them and that
He has sent the Lord Jesus into the world to be their
Saviour and Best Friend.
Children and teens have their fears and worries,
and they need to know that God loves them.
In telling the stories about Jesus, I have tried to
show how Jesus loved boys and girls. And I was so
happy when this letter came from a listener in Liberia:
My kids are so blessed and excited as
our family gather in the living room each Saturday morning to listen to your program here.
Our kids are learning so much about Jesus’
love for children.
Over the years, thousands of children and young
people have been helped to trust and follow the Lord.
Over half-a-million books of Bible stories have been
mailed out to young people, and to their teachers and
pastors, in response to their personal request. This is
the Lord’s doing, and you and I have had the honour
of being channels of His blessing.

Now we are being asked for Bible Stories
Alive in Chinese, in Arabic and in Spanish. In the
churches in China, in the Middle East (Arabic) and in
Latin America (Spanish), there is a dire need for Bible
stories for children and teens, and A Visit with Mrs.
G Ministries has been asked to help supply this need.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the Lord enabled us to do
this?
The Sunday Schools in South America are
crammed with children and teens, who are often left to
play games on their own because there is no one to tell
them the stories of Scripture, and at 14 they stop going
to church altogether. Wouldn’t it be exciting to go to
these crowded Sunday schools and tell the great stories of the Bible to these boys and girls? I get excited
at the thought. It gives me goosebumps!
Right now, we do not have the resources to do
this, but is anything too hard for the Lord? Let us pray
and see what wonderful things the Lord has planned
for us, to tell more children—in their own language—
the greatest of all stories, the stories of Jesus and His
love.
I know we are all busy with our Christmas
celebrations so I won’t say anymore now. The Lord
bless you and your family and friends at this season of
“comfort and joy”.
Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love divine.
In His love,
Your prayers and gifts have helped greatly. And
you will be glad to know that so much has been done
in English. Children and young people have grown up
and become God’s faithful servants in their church and
community.

Dear Mrs G
I love to wake up on Saturday morning and just
lie in bed and listen to your stories…I’m 10 and in 5th
grade…I like your stories a lot. On Friday nights I
look forward to waking up to a good story.
—a listener in USA
I can’t read the Bible very well, so listening to
the Bible stories on radio is very helpful for me.
I have learned many stories since I first listened
to this program. I like the story of creation, as it helps
me to see that God’s creation is perfect and beautiful
as our God is.
I’m 12 years old. Please pray for me as I live in
an orphanage. I don’t know where my parents are.
It’s not easy to live in the orphanage. I wish and pray
that one day my parents will come back and take me
to live with them. —a listener to Bible Stories Alive

You assist me to grow up spiritually upright. I
am yearning to know more about God. I am aged 14
years. —a listener in Kenya
Your stories have touched my heart and made me
feel that I have missed many good things in Christ.
Life is wonderful in Christ. Thanks so much.
—a listener in Uganda
I have a kid who is always listening to the program called A Visit with Mrs. G. That children’s program is doing well in the life of my son. It educates
him. He is not out playing all the time as he was before. The program has kept him indoors and improved
his grades. Thanks a lot. —a father in Liberia
I was a very little boy when I first heard “A Visit
with Mrs. G”. I am now writing to inform you about a
ministry that I started about two years ago. The name
of the ministry is Zoe [Life] Power Ministry.
I really need Bible story books to teach the people, especially the children and the newcomers. The
church worships in a school for now until the church
building is completed. —a pastor in Ghana
I was very excited after reading the stories in
Jesus and the Trip Abroad. I thought they were just
stories. But after reading them, I got to know the way
of true belief in Jesus Christ.
—a boy in Senior High School in Ghana
Thanks a lot for your commitment to me through
my school years. I am now done with high school and
am at home waiting to go to university to do medicine.
Campus ministry was great for me. Your books
helped me understand God’s word better and to share
it with others. God richly bless you. Great is your reward in heaven. Love you! —K. O., Accra, Ghana
We have many Muslims in the neighbourhood
who hate to hear the name of Jesus. I’ve started reading the stories with a few kids who have shown interest. These kids couldn’t figure out how the world or
Earth was made, how exactly things looked like in the
beginning. Now they know! Thanks very much for
the demonstrations in your book Adam and Eve.
—J. M. L., Uganda
Your books are really useful for our ministry.
Please come and teach in our mission in Myanmar.
