Sorani Muslim Children Learn by Reading the Bible

“Adam,” a Sorani believer, has begun to teach reading using a Bible storybook, which the children have copies of to take home and study with their parents. The following lesson, after sharing one of these stories, no children came. Adam was very fearful that this was in response to his sharing. The lesson time was spent in prayer with him and going through Scripture. The next time, all the children came and the adults explained there had been a death of an acquaintance and that was the reason they had all missed. They even enjoyed a picnic outside the city last week, which was the first time for many to be outside the city in years.
