My name is Morris Okello from Uganda, the Pearl of Africa (The apple of the eye of Africa).
Putting that aside, We (the body of Christ) have been called to preach the gospel which is the greatest commission.(Mark 16:15)
I would suggest that after the fall of mankind; Adam and Eve, redemption of the world through Noah where God whipped the whole earth through flood but still a total failure. It is important to know that after this, we introduce salvation after all the other alternatives of salvation failing prior to the death of Christ Jesus on the cross for the atonement of sin. (1John 2:2)
So we share salvation (the message of the cross: 1cor 1:18) to the children so they can decide for themselves whether to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior or otherwise that is after presenting both sides of the coin i.e. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven (John 14:6)
There after introduce discipleship class blending it with the rest of the stories as stipulated on this website(https://missionbibleclass.org/welcome/bible-stories-and-suggested-themes/comment-page-19/#comments ) for effectual growth.
I’ve been doing this for a while now about 3 years so far.
Hope to hear from you soon as we build the kingdom of God to greater heights as pre-assigned to us.
God less and have a blessed 2026
Hello Morris,
I am so glad you have been able to use these lessons for your discipleship classes. How wonderful that you have been doing this for 3 years. These children and young people will have a great foundation for their Christian lives.
May God bless you, Mary Nelson
