Sarah’s Journey of Faith
My name is Sarah, and I have been part of a small group since I was two years old. Now, at almost eleven, I have the joy of helping my mother organize the meetings in our home. She is not only my mother but also my discipler, and through her, I have learned to grow in my faith and serve others. During our meetings, I help with activities, Bible readings, snacks, and whatever else is needed. At church, I also enjoy caring for the younger children and helping them feel welcome.

The Truth That Changed How Krishna Sees God
My name is Krishna, and I am 11 years old. This year was my first time attending a Summer Bible Camp, and it has been one of the best experiences of my life.
