Hey GIGI kids, Today we have an amazing Bible story for you called “Elisha and the Invisible Army.” You can find this story in your Bible in 2 Kings 6:8-23.   Night passed without a sound. But very early in the morning, Elisha’s servant got up and went outside—and got the fright of his life. There were soldiers and horses and chariots everywhere!  “Elisha!” gasped the servant, running back inside. “Come, look!” Elisha calmly went to look at the troops surrounding the city. He didn’t seem upset at all! “Oh, Master, what will we do now?” the young servant cried....

“It’s getting dark,” said Kate, looking up at the sky. “It’ll be night soon. Should we try to come back the way we came?” “I don’t think so,” said Naomi. “We might somehow end up deeper in the forest. I think we’d better just sit here and hope someone comes to look for us.” The girls slowly moved over to the tree stump and dropped their pinecones and berries. The castle didn’t seem so important anymore. Suddenly, there was a snap of twigs ahead of them. “What-what was that?” Kate stammered. “I don’t know,” Naomi whispered. Now, her heart was beating really...

Today's story is about Stompy, the little elephant and her exciting fishing trip! But one night there is a storm and Stompy is afraid!

Stompy, Uncle Bob, and Papa Elephant quickly grabbed onto a thick rope with their trunks to keep from being thrown overboard. The rocking grew stronger, and poor Stompy...

Today's story is about David Livingstone - a missionary and explorer who travelled to Africa to tell others about Jesus.

The life of David Livingstone begins in the town of Blantyre, Scotland. He was born to devoted Christian parents, and at a very young age David developed a love for the outdoors and exploring. One day David climbed to a very high point of the ruins of an old castle, which was higher than any other boy had ever reached, and he decided to carve his name there.

Before David was ten years old, he had memorised the whole of Psalm 119, which is the longest book in the Bible, and he recited it with only five mistakes! David was not brighter than other boys around his age, he was just more determined to learn new things than they were. When he was ten years old, he found work in the cotton mills. There in the factory, David would put his books on the spinning jenny machine, which was an old-fashioned machine people used to help them make cotton for clothes. There he could still be reading and learning even when he was working in the cotton factory.

At the age of twenty, David gave his heart to Jesus and became a Christian. One day, a man called Doctor Carey told the people in the churches about missionary work, and David became excited at that idea. His eagerness grew as there was more talk of mission jobs, and eventually he declared,     “I want to show how much I love Jesus by devoting my life to His service and becoming a missionary.”

Do you want to know what happens next? You can find out by listening to the whole story - it's a great one! Find a comfortable chair or cosy corner and enjoy!
