 Okay, good morning everyone and welcome to class. I hope you had a good first two hours. Yes. Good learning. Efficient, right? You're learning? No? Efficient. Okay. So, welcome to class. Before we continue looking at last week, I mean, on Monday, we looked at, you know, two main components in Children's Ministry is the messenger and the method or the message, okay? So, the method involves the message. So, two main things are the messenger and the method to the empowering of the spirit, you know, Holy Spirit can impact the ministry and, you know, can impact our ministry to children. So, we are looking at the messenger and we're looking at the role of the teacher. We looked at it as a divine call and we also saw the differences between who a preacher is and who a teacher is. So, before we move forward, can one of you please lead us in prayer? Anyone? Anyone need us in prayer please? Mangi, can I ask you to lead us in prayer? Yes, first. Thank you, Mangi. Okay. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we... Thank you, Lord. We... Thank you for the calling, Lord. You have called us, Lord. You said you would say many a called, but she has chosen, Lord, and you have chosen us, Lord, to be your hand, Lord, and to your mouth, Lord. And we pray for that you shape our hearts and you'll shape our understandings, so that the wisdom we apply in teaching kids, Lord, will also lead them to what you love. And I pray for that you empower pastors, say, teach us, Lord, and that you guide our Lord and give the words to you so that whatever she teaches us, Lord, is implanted in our hearts. You might name Lord Jesus, please pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Mangi. So, we looked at, you know, the calling of a teacher is a divine call, Ephesians 4, 11, and 12, where we looked at the offices to which, different ministry offices to which Jesus calls us. And, you know, one of them is the role of a teacher. And we also saw that Jesus was the greatest teacher. He was more, even though he was both a preacher and a teacher, but he was called a teacher more often than a preacher. And we looked at the difference between a preacher and a teacher. A preacher, basically, from 2 Timothy chapter 4 verse 2, we see that a teacher exalts. Exalts means what? He basically, he or she encourages or urges people to do what is being taught, preached. So, exalt, reproof means take to task. Okay. Basically, take us to task on various issues. The bulk, which is basically meaning, you know, admonish, correct, and press the point home so that, you know, it's acted upon. Okay. And we see what preaching is from 2 Timothy chapter 4 verse 2, but we see that a teacher's primary task is to instruct, which means is to teach, to train, to coach, to tutor, to come alongside the coach and tutor. And a teacher teaches facts, simplifies the truth so that, you know, the children are able to understand or the audience is able to understand, illustrates this in different ways, applies that truth and looks for a response to it. Okay. Some of these components are there in preaching, but it's more in a detail in a more, you know, one-on-one way when somebody is teaching. So, teacher also gives opportunity for questions, discussion to make sure that the truth is being understood and helps us how to apply the truth and also the teacher looks for a response. So, a teacher is more than a lecturer. You know, a lecturer just gives lectures and goes away. So, you know, the difference in school and college, right? I'm sure you've noticed that difference when you studied in school and when you studied in college. A teacher is more than just a lecturer, just lecturing, but also involves all of the other components. Okay. We'll move on. So, like we said that, you know, we need a messenger and methods are needed to proclaim the message to the empowering of the Holy Spirit, which is very, very essential. So, as a messenger, you know, it's important that, you know, what is the qualifications for a messenger and a messenger needs to grow and mature in their walk with the Lord. A messenger needs to grow and mature in their walk with God. So, as a teacher, you know, you must grow and you must mature in the things of God in the walk with faith and the, you know, in the gifts of the Spirit in the way that you understand God's Word, you know, just grow in your understanding of the Word of God, grow in your understanding of the truths in God's Word, stronger prayer life and mature in a deeper understanding of the things of God. Okay. And also, it's flowing in the gifts of the Spirit. So, if you have to teach or if one has to teach, then we must be faithful students. I see. We can't hear you, Pastor. Okay. Sorry, we lost connection. I think the internet connection at Bible College is a little weak today. I also had trouble in my previous class nurse taking for the first years. Okay. So, you know, even as we teach or, you know, as teachers, we need to be faithful students in the Word and we don't have to worry because we have someone who's the greatest infallible teacher that is the Holy Spirit. Yes, the infallible means perfect, dependent and flawless teacher who is the Holy Spirit, you know, but even as we have the Word of God in our hands, we have different ways, you know, commentaries, lectures, you know, so many things on Google that we can look up these verses, learn, you know, the truths from God's Word. But 2 Timothy chapter 2 verse 15 said. Pastor, we lost you. We can't hear you. Sorry, lost connection again. I just asked somebody to read 2 Timothy chapter 2 verse 15. Somebody please read 2 Timothy 2 verse 15, please. Can I read the next room? Yes, thank you. You are best to trust yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the Word of truth. Amen. Thank you. So even though we have the Word of God with us, we have the greatest infallible teacher that's the Holy Spirit. But what must we do? What does this verse say? We must study to show ourselves approved unto God. Okay. So only when we learn, take time to study God's Word, you know, not only are we showing ourselves as one approved of teaching God's Word. And also, I think this whole class, I'm going to be saying, sorry, I'm back again. The connection is very weak at a Bible college. I'm not sure why, but it's the third time that we have lost connection. Anyway, we are back again. We will continue. So when we study God's Word, you know, we also receive fresh revelations from His Word. And, you know, when we receive fresh revelation, we'll be able to, you know, impart what we are receiving to the children. And when we do that, you know, I'm sure that they will be able to listen and the Holy Spirit will work and the Holy Spirit will minister to them and speak to them. Okay. If we give children stale food, you know what happens, right? They're fall sick and they will totally not be interested. But, you know, when we do a part in just studying God's Word and just receiving from Him and just, you know, imparting these fresh revelations, the Holy Spirit will work in these children's life, will minister to them, will speak to them, because you are coming out of a time where you are spending time in the presence of God. And even as you do, it's an overflow of your time that you are spending with God, which leads us to the second thing, you know, we need to spend quality time with the Lord. You know, when our ministry is an overflow of our time, because our ministry is an overflow of our time with God, when our ministry becomes an overflow of our time with God, we'll see that, you know, students or children will be interested in class. They would listen. There would be, you know, less behavioral problems, issues that we have to deal with, because you are just ushering the very presence of God. And when the presence of God is in its freedom, you know, it will break strongholds, bondages. We don't have to worry about all those things. The Holy Spirit will just work, but, you know, the truths will be communicated in a very powerful way and children will just receive from it, because it's the Holy Spirit. This presence, His power, His anointing that is moving in our midst. The third thing is, you know, as teachers, we need to do a part in preparing the lesson when studying, just praying about our class, our children, you know, mentoring our children, praying for our children. And when we do that, you know, God will do His part of equipping us, giving us the creative ideas that we need, the skills that we need, the talents that we need to transform the lives of the children. And, you know, as 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 24 says that He who called you is faithful and He will do it for you. You know, God is faithful. He will do His part, but it also requires us to do our part. When we do our part in preparing, you know, mentoring children, praying for them, God will do His part. But if we do, if we don't do our part and we think, okay, children are just very innocent, you know, and we don't look at them as intelligent, competent beings, like we said on Monday, I said we need to look at them as intelligent, competent beings. We just think of them as, you know, simple-minded, simple-hearted human beings. We can just tell them anything and everything, and we didn't have to prepare. You know, then we see that things go haywire. There will be a lot of confusion and chaos as basically we have not done our part. And then, you know, when we look at the end of the year to see, you know, if our lives of our children are transformed, how much they've grown in the things of God, in the word of God, in reading, in prayer, we will see very little growth. That's because we have not done our part. And we do our part. God is faithful to complete what He has begun in us. And He is actually a God who desires to see, you know, these children grow in the things of God. He desires them to know Him, to love Him, to move from one level of glory to another level of glory. And He will be faithful in raising a Godly generation for His kingdom and for His glory. And remember that was, it says, He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. Okay. The next thing is, as teachers, you know, we need to have definite objectives. You know, yes, the ministry that we are involved in, children's show, Sunday school, they can have a vision. But there are specific objectives for every children's ministry. Just like a builder, you know, before he builds a building has a plan in place. He gathers his, you know, puts together the plan for the building, looks at the finances, how much what he has, gathers his materials to start building a building the same way. A teacher, you know, must have definite objectives. And each child must be considered as one in whom certain things are to be accomplished. So the teacher's priority is to teach the word of God in such a way that every boy and girl, you know, would, you know, these objectives would be fulfilled. So what is the first objective? Oh, sorry, I'm not because of our internet connection, the presentation is not there. Okay, let me just share that with you. Okay, so a teacher must have definite objectives. Okay, the first one is that, you know, they will be convicted of their each child will be convicted of their need for Christ and accept him as their personal savior. So that should be our objective that, you know, we need to see even as we teach children that every child, you know, feels the need for Christ in their life and would accept him as their personal savior. The second objective is that they will be taught to live by faith and not by sight and to live a life of holiness and service. And they would know from the word of God what is right and wrong. They will not wait for their friends. They will not look to the world. They will not look for the reaction of the world or what the world is doing. What the world is saying or Google or what their classmates are saying that their group is saying, but they would know from the word of God what is right and what is wrong and they will do what is right and what is and not do what is wrong. Sorry, and they will live their life by faith and not by sight. And they will come to that level of the standard which God has set for us for the Old Testament and the New Testament, you know, be holy as I am holy. So that is the second objective that we must see accomplished in every child's life. The third objective is that they will know how to claim Christ's power and to live and serve God with the power that they receive through the Holy Spirit. That is very, very important. They will know how to claim Christ's power, to live their life, you know, claiming Christ's power, whether over the challenges, the difficulties, their weaknesses, their temptations that they face, you know, their studies in school. You know, they would claim Christ's power over every area of their life, every difficulty that they face. And also they would be at a very tender young age, learn to serve, learn to share the word, learn to flow in science, miracles and wonders through the anointing and the power and the work of the Holy Spirit. Okay, so this is should be the teacher's objective. You know, these are the objectives that the teacher should have. The main objective is to give every child an opportunity to receive Christ. Okay, that is very, very important. Give every child an opportunity to receive Christ. Important to lead them to an assurance of salvation, not just, you know, frighten them and say, hey, if you don't accept Jesus Christ and you're going to go to hell, you know, hell is a terrible place. You're going to die there. You're going to burn there. You know, you'll not have your mummies and your daddies. You'll not have your friend. I mean, of course, they're friends there. You know, you'll not see auntie there or, you know, not see me there. It's, you know, not to fear just for them to accept Jesus as their savior, but also teach them the other aspect of salvation, which is, you know, receiving Jesus as their Lord over. Their lives. What does it mean? Okay. So, you know, how to build them up in the things of God, not just giving them a salvation call and just saying, oh, everybody in my class accepted Jesus as a Lord and savior. But we need to take things further and how to get them to live a life of, you know, of having Jesus Christ as a Lord over every area of their life and building up them up in the things of the. Of the word, building them up in the things of God. So every teacher should basically see, okay, every teacher should see each child in their class as a soul who saved or unsaved. Okay. So you, if they're saved, it's good to build them up in the things of the faith in the word and prayer. If they're unsaved, then, you know, you have the responsibility of sharing the word, the truth of salvation with them and leading them to make a personal prayer or, you know, accepting Jesus as a Lord and savior. The teacher must make every effort to win every child to Christ. You know, Satan will try to put this off and we can sometimes lose, you know, a child for eternity. But it's important that we keep this as our main objective because, you know, the Lord Jesus himself assigned this to every believer, the task of winning souls. We read this in Mark chapter 16 verse 15 where Jesus said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. So it's a responsibility to, you know, win souls for the kingdom of God. Yes, Christopher, you have your hand up. Yes, thank you, pastor. I just want to understand the different means to, you know, to have children at different age groups, you know, be convinced that there is, you know, a need to, you know, to accept Jesus as the Lord and savior. And in that process, I would feel that there would be maybe different ways of doing it because of the way the child will respond and the ability to be able to comprehend, you know, some of the content that is explained to them during the classes or during the teaching. So, you know, I mean, you mentioned about, you know, in some cases, it could be, I mean, fear could be one of the motivational aspects that could get them to think in those lines. What are some of the others and how does that actually, you know, how can it be made as effective as possible to ensure that, you know, that all the children are to go through that to actually accept Jesus as their Lord and savior. Yes. Very good point. Thank you, Christopher, for calling that out. You know, if you look at a different development needs of children at different age groups, the younger age groups, they are looking for more of love and acceptance, right? We said that. So, and they also know that when they do something wrong, they get the punishment, right? So, we, and we said in that age group, you know, what are the most spiritual needs is, you know, talk about how God loves them. You know, we talk about creation. God created everything. Adam and Eve, we also talk about sin. So, they know what is sin, how everything that God created right became, you know, everything was perfect, became imperfect. So, they have that understanding how God created everything good. There was no sickness. There was no death. There was no pain. But how everything came into this world and because of that, how much, how that's why, you know, we go through pain and sickness and we are sad at times and how we do things that are wrong and, you know, we get punished and how Adam and Eve did wrong and how they were punished and what was the punishment, all this punishment. But we're also talking about teaching them about God's love and so we can connect both of that and we're saying, you know, God loved us so much that, you know, instead of us getting the punishment, he took our punishment. So, just imagine if the teacher punishes you and, you know, your mommy comes and says, no, don't punish my daughter or my son. You know, I will stand out or I will not take the toffee or, you know, you give him the sweet or you give him that, you know, whatever the teacher wants to give. But, you know, I will take my child's punishment or your friend says, you know, we take your punishment the same way, you know, Jesus. So in those terms, you understand the developmental needs of the children in that specific age group and then you speak to them based on that, you know, what they understand. Of course, you know, grade five, six, seven, eight, nine and 10 would understand more of the concept of sin, what sin does, the consequences of sin. So you go into a deeper level there and you talk to them and then, you know, bring about the salvation message. So salvation message can be brought in different ways, packaged differently, even in nicer ways for children in different age groups so that they can understand and they can respond, you know, likewise. So for younger age group, you can say, you know, when Jesus died, when Jesus, Jesus loved you so much, you know, and he died for you on the cross because he wanted to show you how much he loves you. He wants you to be with him in heaven and not be in this bad place called hell where there's fire, you know, he loves you so much. So are you willing to, you know, show your love to Jesus? So how can you show your love to Jesus? You know, you can ask him to be your friend, you know, you can start doing things that are right like obeying your mummies and daddies, not talking bad words, sharing with your friends, this is relating to younger age groups. I mean, you're talking to older age groups, you know, you can talk it out in a more deeper way to them, but you need to package it in a way that helps them. But if you're going to bring in the whole aspect of fear, then you know that salvation, what they have prayed is because of fear that they have accepted Jesus and then it's not going to be a change or transformation in their lifestyle because they've just accepted Jesus because, okay, now I accepted Jesus, I'm going to heaven, I've no place in hell, you know, and all of those things. But you see there will be no transformation in the way they are living their lives, but it's important to give them a clarity in both those areas and aspects. So you need to look at the developmental needs of children in that age group, understand what is their needs, and then based on that, you know, relate to them, even in the area when you're talking about salvation or, you know, giving them the altar call over them. Does that help, Christopher? Yes, sir, thank you. Thank you. That was a good insight and thought that you shared. So we continue Mark chapter 16 verse 15 where Jesus says, you know, go into all the world and preach the gospel. So he's assigned as a task that we need to preach the gospel to every creature. Okay, that's inclusive of children as well. Even second Peter chapter three verse nine, it's, you know, it's God's will that none should perish first all should come to repentance. Okay, so that should be the burden of the teacher not just saying, okay, I went to class, I engaged the children, they enjoyed the story. I asked them questions, they remembered all the characters, they remember the entire story. Well, that is a half done job. But if you are able to communicate the truth and through that bring in some aspect of salvation, you know, it is going to benefit for eternity for the rest of their lives. I'd like to give an example of Edward Kimball, you know, and Edward Kimball was a Sunday school teacher. And, you know, his, his desire was that all of his children in his class, you know, know the Lord Jesus as their personal savior. So one day he went down to a shoe store in Boston where they were living to lead one of his Sunday school students to to accept Christ as their Lord and savior. Now little did that man, Edward Kimball know that this, this child that he is going to share the good news of salvation and ask him to accept Jesus as Lord and savior and lead him in the sinner's prayer. You know, it's one day going to become one of the greatest evangelists and that is DL Moody. Okay, so, so DL Moody as a child was working in a shoe store. And it was his teacher who went down to the shoe store and shared the gospel and led him to Jesus Christ. But before Edward Kimball entered the bookstore, you know, he wanted, he gathered a lot of strength. He was not very confident. He did not know where is the right time, the right place to go and ask Moody to accept Christ. So he kept walking down the street a couple of times, you know, not, not very sure. He also says that his coverage failed. You know, he was not very confident to go into the bookstore. So he kept walking up and down the store and gathering strength to go in to ask Moody to accept Christ. But he eventually did. And we see, you know, just a teacher taking that initiative. You know, that teacher taking his role, his calling so seriously that ensuring that every child accepts Christ, doing that even during the weekday, going to the shoe store where this boy was working and led him to Christ. And we see that DL Moody becomes a great evangelist who leads many to Christ. Okay, so it takes great courage, yes, to win souls. But if that is our desire, the word of God says God grants us the desires of our heart, right? And it's our desire that we see every child accept the Lord Jesus as their personal savior and walk in holiness and become great men and women for him building his kingdom. You know, God will give that to us. So a teacher's objective is to give every child an opportunity to receive Christ and lead them to the assurance of salvation and to build them up in the things of God. Okay, so that is the command. Sorry, that is a qualification that we saw in a messenger and also the messenger has a command. What is the command? Look at Psalm 78 verses 5 to 7, please. Can somebody read that? Psalm 78 verses 5 to 7, yeah. And to read, Asha. So that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but give his commandments and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation. A generation whose heart was not steadfast. The spirit was not faithful to God. So here we see that God commanded his people to teach the next generation his ways, his laws, his commands and all that he has done so that they would not be rebellious, arrogant and stubborn but they would put their trust in God. They would not forget his deeds but keep his commands. So this is a command that God has given to us. So as messengers, as teachers, it's important that we need to teach, tell the children what God has done teach them his laws and commands, his precepts, his ordinances, his decrees but children would know God, they would put their trust in God, they would not forget him and they would keep his laws and his commands. So we looked at the messenger, we'll go ahead to see the methods that we need to use before we look at the methods, anyone has any questions, anything you'd like to share? Any questions? Pastor, I just wanted to know where you are on the notes. Yes, I was wondering Christopher why you didn't ask because I will post the notes. Sorry, I've just been working, reworking on the notes actually and also being tied up with a lot of other things but I'll post the notes on the learning styles. So everything what I'm teaching, all that is in the PowerPoints will be there in the notes. So I will post the notes on the learning styles, the eight intelligences, about what I just thought about the role of the teacher, the calling, the command, everything and I'll have the notes ready and I will post it by the end of this week or by Monday. Okay, is that okay? Sorry about that. Yes, thank you. Thank you, Christopher. Okay, anyone has any questions, anything you'd like to share? Okay, so in Sunday school or in children's church, the messenger, the messengers and the methods are needed to proclaim the message through the empowering of the Holy Spirit. So we looked at what a messenger should do to effectively proclaim the message. In this lesson, we look at now the methods that a messenger or a teacher should incorporate to effectively communicate the message in a very relevant and a very productive way to children. So we look at how to prepare a curriculum, how to prepare a lesson plan, what are the different components that we need to include in the lesson plan. Okay, so the methods would basically involve choosing relevant topics for the children that we are teaching and then based on each topic or subtopic preparing the lesson plan. So when you have all of this in place, it just helps the messenger to communicate and also there is a systematic way that we are teaching children which will also help benefit them. So when we are choosing topics, how do we basically prepare a curriculum? We basically prepare a curriculum by choosing the right topics. So you choose the topics based on the developmental needs of children in that specific age group. So for example, if you are teaching the children ages 5, 6, 7, up a KG grade 1, grade 2, or you are teaching in the low KG and up a KG in grade 1, then you can basically talk about creation, how God made everything perfect, how God created the world in 6 days, what he did on the 7th day, how he created Adam and Eve, how we are created unique and special. So we can talk about creation, we can talk about also we can talk about how he created Adam and Eve. But if you are talking to age groups, for example, grade 4, 5, and 6, you can talk about creation but also talk about how Jesus is a creator. You can use narratives like Jesus stills to storm, how God made the sun stand still. Then you can talk about how we are valuable to God and to others. So you can talk about the use narratives like how Jesus raised Jesus' daughter back to life, the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, I'm just giving you one or two examples. Then you can talk about another topic in the curriculum can be God's love for them and how God loves everyone, their family, their friends, their neighbors because we saw these are the requirements of children in this specific age group. So you can talk about the prodigal son, Zacchus, Jonah, how God loves sinful people, how he sent Jonah, how he loves Jonah as well, saved him from the fishes belly and how Jonah went to Nineveh. So basically talking about God's love and how he loves everyone. And then you can another subtopic can be how God knows you so you can have narratives on how God knows our needs, he provides for us. So you know Jesus feeding the 5,000, Bartimus God providing manna and water in the desert to the Israelites. Then another point is God hears our prayer, how God protected baby Moses. He heard the prayer of his parents and Miriam and Aden as well. How God hears our prayer, Jehoshaphat, Jonah praying in the belly of the fish. How God hears our prayer and answers. God is dependable, trustworthy, always good. So you can talk about Abraham, Sarah, God's promise to them, how he kept the promise. Daniel in the lion's den, Joseph, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So all of these narratives can talk about how God is dependable, trustworthy, and always good. And you know there's a difference between right and wrong. So you can talk about Adam and Eve, how they sinned against God. Akin sinned, how Akin stole things when God told them not to take away things from the city of Jericho when they went to destroy the city. Elisha's greedy servant Gehazi. You can talk about Ananias and Saferah. And then you can go on to talk about how we sin, how Jesus came to pay for our sin. So when you talk about sin, you can talk about how all of us have sinned. Then the woman caught in the act of adultery can be a good narrative. God sees our sin, Akin's greed and disobedience. The cost of sin, Akin and Abel sacrifice. There was a cost that we have to pay. A consequence God warned Akin, but he did not heed the warning. And how he faced the consequences. And how Jesus is the answer that is to Adam and Eve's, how they disobeyed God, how sin came into the world, and how Jesus died on the cross. And also, you know, because of what Jesus did for us, we can live for him forever. We can accept Jesus as our Savior. So this is basically, I'm talking about ages, you know, the upper KG grade 1 and 2 because these are some of their developmental needs that we saw for children in this age group. So I'm just helping, you know, running through one, you know, curriculum that you can prepare for that specific age group, but based on the developmental needs of children for different age groups, you can look at the needs, what are the spiritual needs, how you can minister to their needs, and then you can, you know, have different topics and, you know, bring in different narratives to fill in those subtopics. So basically presented some subtopics here about creation, how God created everything perfectly, how God made us unique and special, how God loves us and loves everyone, God knows us, God hears our prayers, God is dependable, trustworthy, always good. There's a difference between right and wrong, and then talking about sin and salvation. So that can be something, sorry, that can be something that you can plan for one whole year. And then, you know, when these children move to the next section, you can have, you know, a different, you know, curriculum for them, but you can also have the same topics and subtopics but different narratives and teaching them in a more deeper way. So just to talk about our Children's Church curriculum, you know, when I took over Children's Church and at APC, basically I thought, you know, we can use the same curriculum that we have been, that I had written out for our school outreach ministry. I was, I basically joined APC to take, you know, to start the school outreach ministry. And I was like, okay, let's, you know, use the same curriculum that we have written for our catalyst program, that is APC school outreach ministry. Basically, in the catalyst school outreach ministry, I started off with who Jesus is talking about. He's our creator, He's our healer, He's our provider, you know, He saves us and all of those things. And then talking of going on to sin and salvation and then going on to right attitudes and long attitudes. So, you know, various things in the, what are the wrong attitudes, what are the right attitudes and various narratives to fill in for that. And it's basically written for children in schools from different religious backgrounds. So it's also packaged with values in each lesson. But when I spoke this to Pastor, he had a very different picture. He was like, why not we use all of the, you know, the things that we teach, the courses that we teach in Bible college, because he felt that the children in children's church had come to a level where they know most of the narratives that need to be taken to the next level. And he said, you know, look at it this way, you know, when we teach them all of the content of the courses that are taught in Bible college, by the time a child leaves 10th grade and they leave children's church and they come to adult church, they will already be in a position where they needn't have to be taught, you know, God's word. But they'll be in a level where, you know, they are ready to minister as well. And also in a level where they can take on the teachings that are taught in the adult church. And I thought it was a very good, you know, plan. And so we started writing our children's church curriculum for the various topics in that courses that are taught in Bible college. So we basically have three levels, level one, level two and level three. Level one is for grade two to four. Level two is for grades five to seven. And level three is for grades eight to ten. So, you know, if you're talking about biblical covenants, then we have tailor made it for each level for their grades. So when they move from one grade to another, they move from one level to another level. So they're learning, you know, deeper when they come to the next level, more about covenants. When they come to the third level, they're learning more about covenants. So also for Holy Spirit, you know, biblical doctrines, Old Testament, New Testament. So that is how we are writing our children's church curriculum. We're still writing on some of our topics. And if you want to access them, they are available on our ABC website. You can access all of those lessons that have been written for various topics for all of these, all of the three levels. Okay. I'll stop here. We'll look at how to write out a lesson plan the next week before we end class. Anyone has any questions? Any questions? Okay. There are no questions. Then just want to discuss about just before we end class about our first assessment. When can we have the first assessment? Sorry. Do you like to have it on a weekday or a Friday? We'll discuss that first, please. The assessment, do you like to have it on a weekday or a Friday? Because I remembered last semester you liked it during the weekday, right? Hello, everyone. Weekday or Friday? Weekday, please. We can fix the date based on whether you want it to do the assessment during the weekday or on a Friday. So Kennedy says Friday. What about the others? Are all of you okay for a Friday? And you can submit it on a Saturday. Is that fine? Yes, Harrison? Friday is fine. Okay. So most of you are okay with the Friday and you can submit it on a Saturday. Can we have it on the Thursday Friday? Can we have it Friday? Thursday or Sunday? Okay. We're having it on a Friday. So which date can we have our first assessment? Yes. Sorry? Can we have it on the 10th? Is that okay? Can we have it on the 10th? Sorry, March 10th. You mean Friday to Sunday? Oh, it's quite a long. Okay, Friday to Sunday. Okay. Yeah. Thank you, Maggie. Friday it is. Okay. So can we have it on March 10th? Is that fine? First assessment. Yeah. Put up the lessons which you will have the assessment on. Is that fine? Or is third fine? Or is this convenient for all of you? Third or 10th? Third or 10th? 10th. 10th? Okay, 10th. Fine. Okay, we'll go with 10th then. Okay, thank you, everyone. Thank you. Thank you. Post the notes by this weekend or latest by Monday. Have a good day and rest of the week. Yes, Christopher. Yes, Pastor. Just a point to note is that, you know, in the previous assessments, I mean, I mean, talking with the previous semester as well as replying this semester also, you know, the session around the Bible study or the Bible, the books, is it possible that, you know, in the videos that are recorded, some, there's just a very, very brief, you know, description about, you know, what is there in the content of that video so that, you know, if we need to refer to the video for answering a question, it just helps us to be able to get to that particular video, you know, to be able to, you know, you know, I mean, it just helps us in that way. So is there any way to do that, Pastor? So maybe just some, you know, brief content about, you know, which, you know, which, you know, what you mean, which question, which, the question is in which lesson? No, no, no. I don't mean that way. I meant that in the video itself, there is a mention of that, you know, in this video we're covering this portion of the book so that when we are answering the question, it may, if we will, it'll help us to decide, you know, which video would be, we would need to listen to. That would definitely help us, yeah. Yes, because if you look at the e-learning, we do post that, I post that, you know, with the video I put a short summary so they know, you know, in which video what has been taught. Last year I used to put portions covered but this year I'm not, but every video, of course, has a summary for every class so students know. So that means I'll need to go back to all the videos for the online students and add that. I'll see how I can do that because it will take some time but I'll try doing it, yes. Thank you so much. Okay, thank you, Christopher. Maybe that's a good thing to follow in the next videos that come up we can just put a small summary. Okay, thank you everyone for joining class. God bless, bye-bye everyone. Thank you. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
