Sunday School, Power Rangers and Jesus
Our "Tribal Gatherings" or home fellowships continue here in Pohnpei and we have now added a weekly Sunday School for the children to learn about Jesus. To illustrate the life of Jesus with children in a cross-cultural context, we sometimes have to use whatever is available to us. As of late we have been using Power Ranger action figures to do so, which brings quite a bit of comedy to our stories. Today we told the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand as well as when Jesus gave His authority to the disciples to cast out evil spirits. The black Power Ranger works well for illustrating Satan and we are using the blue Power Ranger to represent Jesus. The kids love it and are never satisfied with us just telling one Bible story. If they had their way, we would be playing Power Rangers and telling them stories about Jesus around the clock. Fun stuff!
