This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Daniel in the Lion's Den is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

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.
