BIBLICAL REFERENCE
Matthew 4.18-22

PURPOSE OF THE LESSON

MEMORIZE THE VERSE
“And he who wins souls is wise.” (Proverbs 11.30)



INTRODUCTION

Educator, take to classroom a picture of a refrigerator filled with frozen fish (easy to find on the internet). Start the introduction by asking: Who here has ever seen, in the supermarket refrigerator, frozen fish like these? (Show the picture). Have you ever thought how did they go there? (Wait participation). We all know that fish live in the sea and there is a specific occupation to those who fish the fish. You know how to call these professionals? (Wait participation) Fishermen! That's it. The profession of fisherman is very old and important, because there are countries whose inhabitants mainly eat fish. What would these people do if there were not fishermen, right? And speaking of fisherman, I will tell you about several fishermen on today’s story. Do you want to hear? So pay close attention.



LEARNING TO WIN SOULS

ONE DAY Jesus was passing by the lake of Galilee when he saw two fishermen. They were brothers, one was called Simon Peter and the other was called Andrew. They were great businessmen for they had many boats to fish a lot of fishes. Jesus passed near them and called them by saying: Come with me and you will be, from today on, fishermen of people; at that same time they dropped their fishing nets and followed the Lord Jesus.
Do you know what is to be a fisherman of people? (Wait participation). Fishing people is the same of evangelizing, wining souls for the kingdom of God. From that day on, Simon Peter and Andrew were becoming disciples of Jesus.
Later Jesus saw James and John who were also brothers and fishermen. They were in the boat mending the nets with their father Zebedee. And as He did with Simon Peter and Andrew, Jesus also called them, and they left everything behind and went with Jesus.
You know, kids, Jesus was choosing those men because they would be His disciples, His servants. Class, what Jesus said to those men, He says it now for all those who give their lives to Him. Jesus wishes to make us fishermen of people, that is, winners of souls.
Many people suffer in this world, right? Many children with your age suffer with their destroyed families, and they do not know Jesus can help them. That is why we should speak of Jesus to everyone we know, understood?


CONCLUSION

            We should do like Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John: to speak of Jesus to our friends and bring them to church. Can Jesus count on you? Than say “amen”! That is right, behaving like this we will be pleasing God.
           
                                                                                       
FUN CHAT

         Educator, take to your classroom pictures of pastors/bishops on the altar (easy to find on Folha Universal, magazines and UCKG websites) preaching, people evangelizing (educators of , youngers of YVG and evangelists), and make a poster with those pictures.
            Start the fun chat by saying the following: Children, we learned from today’s story that Jesus called Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John to be fishermen of people. In fact, they were very important fishermen of people, do you know why? They were very important because they won many souls for the kingdom of God. In the Bible there are many examples of how those men were used by God.
            Now see these people (slowly show the pictures). They are doing what the disciples of Jesus did, they are fishing people, evangelizing and preaching the Word of God. Little friends, Jesus wishes to make each one of us a soul winner. So, we should make an effort and invite our friends, neighbors and family to come to the House of God.
            Jesus counts on each one of us, as He counted on with the disciples in the past. If you want to be a disciple of Jesus, pray for Him asking Him to teach you and help you to bring many people to church. Amen?
            How about a prayer now? Stand up and place your hand on your heart, I am going to pray with you. (Educator, make a prayer asking God to make of them His disciples). After the prayer, ask the kids to sit down and ask the following questions:
            1. Who here has even invited a friend to come to church? Did he/she come? How did you feel about it?
            2. Who here wish to win many souls to Jesus?
            3. Do you think it is important to speak of Jesus to people?
            4. In your opinion, how does God feel when He sees a servant of Him evangelizing?
            Educator, you let the children express themselves and give opportunity for those who wish to speak. However, control your time for not delaying other steps of the class. In the end, using the poster of the week, memorize the verse of the week with the kids.

CBC Lesson from 17th to 23th of June





BIBLICAL REFERENCE 
Luke 19.10

PURPOSE OF THE LESSON  
Teach children that Jesus can and wishes to save people.

VERSE TO MEMORIZE
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19.10)


INTRODUCTION

            Start by saying the following: Who here knows someone who does wrong things all the time, things that displease God? (Wait participation) In your opinion, can this person change its life, its behavior? Today you will know the story of two boys who behaved very differently. Let us find out why? Then listen carefully.


JESUS CAME TO SAVE THE LOST

      ONCE UPON a time, there was a boy named David. He was from and he liked very much to go to church with his family. On the street where he lived there was a boy named Carl, who was 10 years old and was very naughty. He was always involved in fighting and confusions; he used to hit other children, mistreated animals and did not respect elder people. Mrs. Jane, David’s mother, was always going to church. One day, he saw Carl’s mother, Mrs. Mary, walking down the street with a very sad face. Mrs. Jane asked her if she had a problem and she answered: I am very sad with the behavior of my son Carl. I do not know what to do to change him. Then Mrs. Jane invited her to go to church, and she accepted the invitation. Next day, both of them went to church and their children went to .
      Carl was very well received by the educator and the children, while David was paying attention. During the class, the educator introduced Carl to all children and everyone said “welcome” and prayed for him.
      When the class was over, David went to the educator and said that Carl was a very disobedient and fighting boy and, because of that, he thought he should not be treated well, for he did not deserve so much attention. David was jealous. The educator said to David that it is written on the Bible the Lord Jesus wishes to save, to deliver those who are lost in this world living in disobedience and making mistakes. David left thinking on what he just heard. Carl continued attending  and day by day he was behaving differently. He was not rebel anymore; he was playing with other boys and was not fighting with them; he became a good student and everyone began commenting about the new behavior of the boy. One day, at , the educator asked who had a testimony to say and Carl told what Jesus had mad in his life, by delivering him from all disobedience for he had accepted the Lord Jesus in his heart, what made all the class happy. When the class was over, David apologized to Carl and said he was also happy for God saving him. From that day on, they became great friends.


CONCLUSION

         Little friends, it is written in the Bible: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19.10)
            If you have been doing something wrong and because of that you think the Lord Jesus will not listen to your prayers then tell Him all the bad things you have been doing and say you will no longer do that; He will surely change your behavior just as he changed Carl form today’s story. Jesus will live inside your heart, just believe, understood?
        

FUN CHAT

            Educator, for this moment you will need pictures of sick people (ill) and smiling people (apparently healthy). Glue masking tape behind the pictures and glue it on the board.  Start this moment by saying the following: Children, in your opinion, which of those people (point to the board or the wall) need healthcare? Educator, point to a picture at a time and wait their participation.
            Conclude by saying: Children, sick people go to the hospital looking for doctors to help them, right? Someone who is healthy does not look for a medical appointment, right? You know, kids, the Lord Jesus used an example similar to this when he said: “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.” It is written in the book of Matthew 9.12.

            You see, Jesus wishes to save everyone who are lost in this world and practice wrong things. Who here wishes to receive Jesus inside your heart? Then lift up your hands and ley us talk to Him.
