THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR ALL THE HELP!!!!!  I SAW GOD SHINE IN YOU AND YOUR WILLING SERVICE - IF YOU HELPED, PLEASE TELL YOUR GUIDE ON SUNDAY SO THEY CAN COUNT IT AS A SERVICE PROJECT!!!!   THANKS ALSO TO THE PARENTS, THE PEYMANN’S & THE MCMILLIAN’S - WHAT A BLESSING YOU ARE!!!  A SPECIAL THANKS ALSO (YOU CAN TELL THEM TOO, IF YOU SEE THEM) TO AMANDA HALL AND MARY ELLEN HALL FOR ALL THEIR TIRELESS WORK!!!

I’m only going to give you one question for this movie - please provide some detail in your answer!

Apply the scripture about not “growing weary in doing what is right, for in due time you will reap your reward” to the life of William Wilberforce.  Now share a time in your life where you did or should have followed this scripture. 

I hope you were inspired!

2. Do you think it is ever right to stand up against a church leader or recognized authority?  What would be the correct way to do it?

3. What do you suppose the scripture means to “speak the truth in Love”?  Did Luther do it?  How?

4. The Bible says that if we have something agianst someone (they sinned, not just you carrying a grudge - the Bible says it is the glory to cover over someone elses sin) that we are to:  1. Approach them alone with the sin and try to resolve it. 2. If they don’t repent, approach them with 2 or 3 others. 3. If they don’t repent, approach church leadership.  Do you think Luther was true to this format?  Have you ever used (or should have used) this approach?  Explain.

5. What question(s) did this film raise about YOUR faith?

Answers to these questions can be posted to the site or e-mailed to me.  You may discuss them with others in class or in your family.  If you post them to the site - others can respond and everyone can else can see - use your first name and last initial for the post and the number of the question you are responding to!  I hope you are blessed by this discussion!!!!!

Daniel is from Mexico and was born on May 29th of 2005. He has 1 brother and 3 sisters. His parents struggle to provide for the family. His dad is an agricultural worker in central Mexico. Typical homes in his area are made of adobe with tile roofs and have only one room. His diet is mostly made up of beans, corn and tortillas. Sometimes he may get some beef or chicken. The climate is rocky with a lot of hills and very dry with rain in July and August. It gets cold in December and January. He likes to play with toy cars and help out at home.

Our sponsorship will help provide Daniel with school supplies, immunizations, health check-ups, dental exams, access to clean water and better nutrition. His parents will also recieve agricultural training so that they can raise the standard of living for their children. The Christian witness the family will recieve will also give this family a chance to know the love and grace of God!!!!

You can support Daniel with just $1 a month or with a periodic JnR fundraiser! His picture and bio is on the JnR bulletin board. I know you are going to fall in love with this adorable boy and you may have one more friend in Heaven when you get there! Won’t Jesus be pleased!!!!!
