Lynn's diaries.....: Celebrating 20 years of God's faithfulness!

Last Sunday, we celebrated the 20^th anniversary of our Sunday school. Unlike other Sunday schools, this one is not part of any church; rather, a kids church by itself that was established twenty years ago with the sole purpose of reaching kids in the neighborhood with the gospel of JC.

It was in November, 1991 when a young school teacher decided to teach the Bible to the kids who attended her tuition classes. A few students turned up on Sunday afternoons and soon some of their friends tagged along. The class was held in the verandah of her house and sometimes under shady trees. A few years later, after she left, the Sunday school was shifted to a house in a street called ‘Brindavan Nagar’ and hence named ‘Brindavan Sunday School’, BSS ,in short.

I started attending BSS when I was 6 or 7 years old. The minute the clock struck three on Sunday afternoons, my brother and I, along with a few other friends ,with our bibles in hand, would start off and usually would be the first ones to reach. Sunday school was something that we always looked forward to in the week.It was more than just the songs,stories and skits that attracted us …We enjoyed a time of fellowship, practicing for inter-Sunday school competitions, and of course the best time of the year-Christmas!It was a place where we made friends for a lifetime.

Fifteen years later, as I look back on those days, I can only stand in awe of all that the Lord has done in me and in the lives of others who had attended.Yes,this Sunday school has had a humble beginning but it was this little sunday school that God had used to touch, heal and shape lives.God’s been faithful all these years and the ministry has come a long way. Now, I teach in the same Sunday school and Oh! What a privilege it is! Thank God for BSS!

"The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will do this swiftly." Isaiah 60:22

Below are a few pics of the exhibition the kids put up for the celebration of the 20 years and it indeed was a joy to see them bring out their creativity and use their talents for God!

PS: Many of the children who attend are from the BPL group but a bunch of enthusiastic, cheerful kids and I just love being around them!
