Planting Apple Trees

There is a part of Central Asia where the Uighur people live and where they used to grow LOTS of apples. There were apple orchards all over town. The trees were cut down—just a few at first, but more and more over time—and then they put up buildings where the trees once stood. That meant no more apples!

Out in a village, there’s a new apple business. Workers take care of the apple trees and train some of the farmers and apple vendors. This month new tree seedlings are being shipped to the village to be planted. Please pray for the trees to arrive safely. The workers need a good tractor too. Pray they will be able to find an orchard tractor.

There’s a saying, “You can count the number of seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.” Please pray that God will give workers LOTS of apples for every seed. Pray the workers will be able to tell the Uighur people about our God who made the trees.

Please pray that I will learn how to speak my new language so I can understand the people,and so I can tell them about Jesus. SETH, age 7 (European peoples)

WHAT IS CHURCH?

Missionaries go to many different countries where churches are different—the music is different, buildings are different. But what does God say about church? Here’s what some 3rd and 4th graders in my Sunday School class said:

The Lord’s house is a place where you learn about Jesus. You sing about Him, you pray to Him, and you praise Him. My Dad sings in the choir and my friend’s dad is the preacher. The preacher reads the Bible in front of everyone. The choir sings in front of everyone. You ask the preacher all the questions.
Well, that’s all I know about the Lord’s house. Bye. PEYTON

The Lord’s house is where people worship God. It is also where you sing, praise, and tell other people about God; and they get baptized and learn about God. It is a place where you get new friends and listen to the preacher. Jesus died on the cross for our sin and rose on the third day. Jesus gave us the Bible. Lots of people gather around to worship Him. SIMONE
