A \u2018crafty\u2019 look back on 2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Jesus Club, we strive to teach all of the Bible in ways that persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) can understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Persons with ID tend to have difficulty retaining or remembering information, and so, in our meetings, we repeat the main point of the Bible talk throughout the programme. The songs, small group discussion, craft or game all serve to reinforce the main teaching point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making craft, therefore, is not merely a time-filler but a purposeful activity. When brought home, the craft also serves as a visual reminder of what we\u2019ve learnt. One of our members has a dedicated space in his room where he displays all the craft we make at Jesus Club!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a snapshot of what we\u2019ve learnt this year at JC@BFEC<\/a> through the craft we\u2019ve made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Series: Journey to the Promised Land<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Story: The 12 spies are sent out to Canaan (Numbers 13-14)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Colourful explorer \u201cbinoculars\u201d remind us to focus on God\u2019s promises rather than our problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Story: The Bronze Snake Lifted Up in the Desert (Numbers 21)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just as the Israelites had to look at the bronze snake that Moses lifted up in the desert to be saved, so we have to look at or believe in Jesus, whom God lifted up on the cross, to be saved. A reminder for us to trust God\u2019s way of salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Story: King Balak asks Balaam to curse the Israelites (Numbers 22-23)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

God is more powerful than any enemy Israel faced. He even used a donkey to stop Balaam in his tracks. This craft reassures God\u2019s people that NOTHING and NO ONE can stop us from getting to heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topic: Singleness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Bible passage: 1 Corinthians 7:32-34<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This gift box reminds us that singleness is good because it is a gift from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Series: Parables of the Kingdom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Parable of the Hidden Treasure (Matthew 13:44)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pop-out treasure box reminds us that Jesus is our greatest treasure. There\u2019s nothing better than following Jesus now and being with him in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
