In one of our decision-making meetings in the church council, we made a policy that our Children’s Church would not use things that the adult church is replacing. For instance, we would not pass on old drums; we will buy them new ones- that what exactly what we did. It is so easy to abandon children. In a lot of […]
I was away from home for a season when Irewamiri’s shared a testimony of divine protection. She had opened the window of the house for some breeze to come in. She later went to close the windows. Some moments later, she went to open the windows again and realised that when she was closing the window, she had crushed a […]
We were at a Pastor’s Conference. One of the guest speakers asked us a question: “How many of you are in Children’s Ministry?” Very few hands went up. She smiled and asked other questions: How many parents are here?How many uncles and aunts are here?How many of you have a child that is connected to you one way or the […]
As Danielle got out of the car, she ran back again and said to Irewamiri, “Mummy, my friends are singing”. The mum listened closely and heard them singing. She asked Danielle about the song. Danielle sang it to her mum. It was a song from a Christian Movie about Jesus stopping the storms of life and that Jesus can do […]
We had a plate of rice with some nicely peppered goat meat. I wanted some more goat meat so I told Irewamiri. I convinced her to give me one more especially that I would be away from home for a while. She raised her eye-brow but could not resist my persuasive skills. As she left the dining table to pick […]
As we drove to the home where I was having a writing retreat, I saw a little child leaning by a well with a fetcher and he was drawing water from the well. As I stood in awe considering the safety of the child, the Spirit of the Lord said to me, “Son, it is never too early to train […]
As Olive stepped into the Bathroom that Sunday Morning, as though to put an icing on the cake that nothing would stop her from making it to church, not even sleep. She got into the bathtub and began to sing: “I love Jesus. I love Jesus. He’s my friend” First, your love for God will always cost you something. Second, […]
It was a Sunday morning. Irewamiri had taken care of Danielle. Right after Danielle got dressed, she asked for food. Irewamiri excused herself to take care of Danielle but with a note, “Darling, please, would you help with Olive?” I told her with all joy but there was a challenge: Olive was still sleeping. I knew waking her up would […]
We had a challenge with mosquitoes in our home. We get to spray insecticides in the room before we sleep. But we discovered that after a while, at least one or two mosquitoes would find their way into the room. One day, we decided to spray insecticide in all other areas of the house while we were in the room. […]
It was a Saturday evening. I was still an undergraduate. I was spending some time with my Aunt. It was the first time I was visiting her family. She said to me, “Temi, we have a 10 minutes section of tits and bits in teens church. I would love you to share something with the teenagers”. I spent virtually the […]
