Mark 16:15 – He said to them, “go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.” 

The 5^thand 6^thgrade Faith Formation class at Our Lady of the Highways Catholic Church in Thomasville, NC, USA, is learning what it means to be true disciples of Christ.  We thought a new and exciting way to spread God’s Word would be to use travel bugs.  Each child in the class chose a story from the Bible and colored a picture to illustrate it. 

Please keep our travel bugs moving along as the kids will be monitoring their progress throughout the Faith Formation term. 

Daniel in the Lion's Den

Daniel 6
 

Later on, King Darius ruled Babylon. King Darius respected Daniel. He knew Daniel was a godly man who had served the kings before him. But some of King Darius' men did not like Daniel. They wanted to get rid of him. So they convinced the king to make a law forbidding people to pray to anyone but the king. And anyone who broke this law would be thrown into the lions' den!

Daniel knew about the law, but he continued to pray to God. The men spied on Daniel, and then told the king that Daniel had broken the law and must be thrown to the lions' den!

The king sadly agreed, and Daniel was put into the lions'

den. "May your God rescue you," said the king. That night, the king could not eat or sleep. He was too worried about Daniel.

Early the next morning, he ran out to the lions' den. "Daniel!" he cried, "has your God been able to rescue you from the hungry lions?"

"King Darius," called Daniel, "may you live forever. Yes, my God sent His angel to shut the lions' mouths! They have not hurt me." Then King Darius had the evil men who'd made the bad law thrown into the lions' den. And this time, God did not close the lions' mouths.
