00:01 It's almost time for Kids Time, we're gonna be late.
00:04 It's time to share there's a world out there 00:07 looking for a friend like Jesus, 00:10 it's time to share there's a world out there. 00:15 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:18 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:23 Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time. 00:30 Hi boys and girls, I just heard an amazing story 00:33 and it's about a man who went to prison 00:35 for doing some bad things. 00:37 Not just for a little while, but for the 00:39 rest of his life, but here's the best part. 00:42 While in prison he learned about God and he was 00:45 so excited about what he heard that he gave his heart 00:47 to Jesus right there on the spot. 00:49 Now, as you can imagine it's no fun 00:51 being a prisoner, but this man started looking 00:54 for ways to bless others. You know sometimes 00:57 bad things happen in this sinful world 00:59 and sometimes we make mistakes and we get hurt. 01:02 Sometimes we get hurt because of the mistakes 01:04 others have made, but God promises to work 01:07 all things out for our good just like he did for that 01:11 man in prison. Our story today is about a little 01:14 girl who was taken captive and she hadn't even 01:16 done anything wrong, instead of being 01:19 mad or bitter, she found ways to bless others too. 01:22 We'll here her story very soon, 01:24 but first let's get ready for Nature Time. 01:34 Hi boys and girls, I'm Ranger Jim 01:36 and I'm Ranger Rod. Welcome to Nature Time. 01:39 We're glad you can be with us. 01:40 We're privileged to be out in windy Montana. 01:43 What are these creatures we have Rod? 01:45 Oh they are awesome creature, the Bison, 01:47 the American Bison. How big are these creatures? 01:50 They are very big, in fact the largest 01:52 of the American Bison are the Bulls, 01:53 that's the daddies and sometimes they can weigh 01:56 as much as 2500 pounds. How big is 2500 pounds? 01:59 Well, 2500 pounds is as big as your family car 02:03 with your family in it. Now, that is big. That's huge. 02:07 Now, you mean that these creatures that are 02:09 this big survived from what I see out here 02:12 just this grass and sagebrush and things 02:14 like that. They survive eating that? 02:15 Ranger Jim they do. Now, you know the American Bison 02:19 traveled across all of North America in the 02:22 Great Plains, in the Great Prairies and they fed 02:25 chiefly on grass yes. Just chiefly on, 02:28 now what's the population at this time of the 02:31 buffalo or we call it the Bison or the buffalo? 02:33 Bison or buffalo, they are the same? 02:35 Technically it's not a buffalo, technically it is 02:38 a Bison, but people know it interchangeably. 02:41 Buffalo's just fine and buffalo today. 02:44 The numbers of buffalo in Canada 02:46 and the United States numbers about 02:47 65000 animals, but at one time the American Bison 02:52 ranged from Florida to Central Canada 02:55 from New York to the slopes of the Rocky Mountains 02:59 in numbers up to 70 million some people estimate. 03:02 Up to 70 million and then some of those pictures 03:05 that we see of trains being stopped by great herds 03:08 of Bison and people standing with guns just 03:10 shooting them. Oh mercy, it's a sad thing. 03:13 It was a, it's very sad thing to know what the 03:16 American government did at one time to the Bison, 03:18 in fact from the numbers in the millions all the way 03:22 down in 1900 to less than a 1000 Bison 03:26 at the year 1900. Now, we've been watching some 03:29 of these and I see that they like to wallow 03:30 in the dirt and kick their feet up. 03:32 What are they doing this for? 03:33 Well, if you would notice when a Bison gets 03:36 into a dust wallow. What the Bison does is he lays 03:39 there and he rolls this dust on him, that's 03:41 to help keep the flies and the pesky mosquitoes 03:44 and the different insects off of his hide. 03:46 When he stands up unlike a horse that shakes 03:50 himself off or a dog will shake himself off 03:52 if he gets dirty. The Bison walks away very carefully. 03:55 He wants that dust to stay on him, 03:57 so that it'll protect him from the bugs. 03:59 Then if we get a rain shower, he's a mess? 04:01 He's a muddy mess Ranger Jim. 04:03 Now, tell me about this, I have heard that 04:05 the buffalo are able to swim lakes and rivers 04:08 and streams? Well, they do, in fact an amazing 04:10 thing the American Bison is very, very, 04:13 he floats almost like a bobber. 04:15 A big hairy bobber, when he's going across the river, 04:18 his head the large hump that you see there 04:20 on his back and even his tail is out of the water. 04:24 He's a great swimmer Ranger Jim. 04:26 An animal that weighs 2500 pounds, 04:29 that's right. Amazing and when were filling 04:32 this boys and girls, we have seen trails across 04:35 the sides of the hills that sometime in this hard, 04:38 round, even rocks that are a foot 18 inches deep, 04:42 because for 100s of years these Bison 04:46 have followed the same trail. We have one that 04:49 just came up the trail from us and he wants 04:51 to get into the picture. He's slowly coming up 04:53 the trial that maybe 200 years ago other 04:56 Bison came from. Now, tell me this about reproduction. 05:00 I have heard that the cow of the Bison was one of the 05:05 most productive of all of the creatures, is this true? 05:07 They are Ranger Jim, in fact many of them 05:10 will reproduce and have calves clear up to the 05:13 age of 30. 30 year old cow having still having calves. 05:16 And her first calf is usually single then there 05:19 after it maybe twins. Often times they do have 05:22 twins that's right. That is just amazing, 05:24 now we have noticed that it's quite windy here 05:27 and in the winter time it's very cold. 05:29 How do they survive, we have, 05:31 we know we have blizzards. How do these creatures live? 05:34 Absolutely, especially here in Western Montana 05:36 Ranger Jim, those blizzards, those winds 05:39 they can be 30 below zero, 60 mile an hour wind, 05:41 that big buffalo, God designed him with his own 05:44 buffalo skin robe. It hangs over his shoulders, 05:48 down over his face, he faces these winds 05:51 and he grazes actually into that cold wind 05:54 as he eats the grass. May be he has to paw through 05:57 the snow for it. He's well equipped to survive 05:59 in very, very harsh climate of Western Montana, 06:02 the Western Plains where the buffalo thrived 06:05 at one time. And we can understand now because 06:07 where we are now in this mountainous area. 06:09 The wind is blowing now, but if it was 30 below zero 06:12 and of course when they bed down they find 06:13 a place out of the wind. They got your 06:16 buffalo robe and they're very comfortable. 06:18 Ranger Jim, if it was 30 below out here today 06:20 with the wind blowing like it is. 06:21 We'd have our ear muffs on, we'd be trying to get 06:25 back into the trucks under some shelter, 06:27 but the American Bison has to live out here 06:29 day and night. He has no place to go other than 06:31 may be behind a little bluff or in a backside 06:34 of a hill and so God has equipped him to protect 06:37 him from the elements, absolutely. 06:39 Another wonderful story boys and girls, 06:41 wow. Our creator God provides for all 06:43 of his creatures, so this is Ranger Jim and Ranger Rod 06:48 saying don't forget to tell the Jesus you love him, 06:51 because boys and girls He really does love you. 09:39 Welcome to Learning Time. Thanks for joining us today 09:42 and thank you for coming too. 09:44 Are you glad to be here today? 09:45 Yeah. I am too. You know, I've got some questions 09:49 to ask my helpers and I have Danielle over here. 09:52 Now Danielle, do you like animals? 09:54 Yeah. What's your favorite animal? 09:58 I have lots of favorite animals. Lots of favorite. 10:00 That's good to have lots of favorites 10:01 and I have Rachel over here. Rachel, 10:04 do you like insects? No. No, okay, 10:07 well we're gonna be talking a little bit about 10:09 insects today and then I have Joshua back there. 10:12 Joshua, what's your favorite animal? 10:14 A snake, a snake whoa, that's interesting. 10:17 Well hey, let me get my helpers to come up here. 10:19 I want you to come up right behind the table. 10:21 Come on up Danielle and come up here. 10:23 Here we go and I've got some things up here 10:26 and these are little flashlights. 10:28 Now, what I like to talk about is those animals, 10:31 creatures, interesting, snakes huh. Well, 10:34 we're gonna talk about oh actually we identify 10:38 animals sometimes by the number of legs 10:40 that they have. Right? And so we have insects. 10:43 How many legs do insects have, 10:45 do you have any idea? Six, six, about 10:48 six legs cool and you only have two, right? 10:50 Right. Yeah but Rachel has two and Danielle has three, 10:54 so, I mean two and so you could be an insect right, 10:57 if you all got together. Well, probably not, 10:59 but I'm talking about an animal that has four 11:02 pairs of legs. Does anybody know what 11:05 animal has four pairs, what is it? Spiders. 11:08 They are spiders and we call them Arachnids 11:11 and they're very interesting. How many, 11:12 do you like spiders? You like spiders? 11:14 No, no just snakes, yes. Well, you ought to, 11:17 you ought to kind of you know reach out a little bit 11:18 and expand to spiders, it could be interesting 11:21 and you don't like spiders at all? 11:22 No. No, how about you Danielle? No. 11:24 Okay, well, you know how many of you like to go 11:25 outside and look for nature. 11:27 Yeah, you like to look outside for nature. 11:29 Hey, I'm gonna show you a neat way of looking 11:32 outside for nature and in fact you can spot spiders 11:36 probably before they see you sometime, 11:38 will that be fun? Yeah. Yeah okay, 11:41 well here's how we do it. Actually we can take 11:43 a flashlight like this and you turn it on, 11:45 make sure it has batteries. Turn it on, 11:48 and what we do is we put it right beside our eye 11:50 on the side of your head right. 11:52 Oh I'm sorry didn't mean to turn it in your face, 11:55 but I have this light shining right here 11:56 and you can probably see that too at home 11:58 and what we do is out at night time 12:00 when it's dark, we just look around and we look 12:04 and we look and we look and if there is a 12:06 spider around. What do you suppose we're gonna see? 12:11 A spider, a spider, you're gonna see the light 12:14 from the flashlight being reflected off 12:17 of those eyes that spiders have. 12:20 Spiders sometimes have more than just a couple 12:22 of pair of eyes. Don't they? Oh yeah they can 12:25 have multiple eyes and they, that light just 12:27 shines back right to your own eye and they just 12:31 sparkle in the dark under bushes and on trees 12:34 and in the grass. Hey, hey, lets try that. 12:37 Why don't you grab this one right here 12:38 and here's one for you to grab over here. 12:40 Turn it on, oh Rachel, you got a big one right here. 12:44 You know and it's kind of heavy, and we just put it, 12:46 let's try it. Put it on the side of your head, 12:49 turn it on and shine it. In fact, shine it in some 12:52 of our audiences eyes over here. 12:55 How are we doing? Can you see the light, 12:57 now if you happen to be spiders, 12:59 all of that light information would be 13:01 shining back and they could see it. 13:03 Now it's very important that you hold it right even 13:06 with your own eye, so that that light as it 13:08 comes off of those spiders organs inside of their eyes, 13:11 it reflects back right into your own eyes. 13:14 Isn't that cool? Yeah. Now, do you know 13:17 why a spider does that? A spider does that because 13:20 God inside those little eyes, in those compound eyes, 13:23 those complex eyes of those spiders. 13:25 Those spiders need to see at night and some of them 13:27 do see pretty well at night and you know 13:29 what happens, those organs that are inside 13:32 that do all that, they collect all of that light 13:35 and that light just kind of stays in their eye 13:37 and it comes back, because otherwise they wouldn't 13:40 be able to see very well in the dark. 13:41 Hey can you think of an animal that you might 13:44 have seen at night and you saw their eyes 13:46 shining back at you. Have you ever seen an animal 13:48 that would do that? What animal, what? what? 13:52 No, I haven't seen an animal. 13:54 No, how about a cat, have you ever seen a cat 13:56 in the headlights of a car? Oh yeah, 13:58 can you see the reflection of the light coming out 14:00 of their eyes. Yes. Oh, I do too. It's a good 14:03 thing sometimes, otherwise we would hit those animals, 14:06 now that wouldn't be good. How about a deer. 14:07 Have you ever seen the light off the 14:09 eyes of a deer? Yes. That's right 14:11 and that light information comes back to us. 14:13 How about a dog? Well, we got Max over here. 14:16 You know what and Max's eyes they're built 14:18 that same way. The light comes back 14:21 and we can see those animals at night. 14:23 You know God made all kinds of interesting eyes 14:26 and interesting animals for us to study, 14:28 but you know what you have to be very careful 14:29 boys and girls because you know at night 14:31 and even in the day time there are some spiders 14:34 that you know can hurt us right. 14:35 That's right and some of them have venom, right, 14:38 I mean there is poison in them right 14:40 and they could hurt us, so be very careful 14:41 and don't pick up a spider that you don't know 14:43 anything about, 'cause it could bite you right 14:46 and that could be a bad news thing. 14:47 Well, remember boys and girls whenever we learn 14:51 more about science, we learn more 14:54 about our creator God. 15:02 Our Captain Naaman was told by the Prophet 15:05 of Israel to dip in the dirty river Jordan 15:08 and he was healed. Captain Naaman was healed, 15:12 can you believe that, he was told to dip in the 15:14 river seven times and he was come out healed. 15:18 That's amazing. What he's saying is true. 15:21 Captain Naaman he had to dip in the river seven 15:23 times in the river Jordan and he was healed. 15:26 He couldn't go into any other river 15:28 he wanted to. Oh here's lady Naaman now. 15:32 Little maid, can you get me a couple onions please. 15:37 Oh! Yes, yes, yes, that's good. Yes. 15:39 Look at that poor man over there, 15:41 could we may be get him some bread. 15:44 He looks so hungry. Oh little maid, 15:46 you are always so thoughtful, yes of course. 15:55 Let's see, why don't you take him one of these 15:59 and why don't we take him one of these too, 16:02 you run and, run and give it to him, I will pay and 16:05 I will call you when I'm finished shopping, okay. 16:09 How much do I owe you? 16:15 Hello, I bought some bread for you, can you speak? 16:22 You can understand me. Do you have any family? 16:31 I know how it feels like to be lonely too. 16:36 Here's another, you see I was taken from 16:41 my home in Israel. The soldiers one night 16:45 they just stormed into our house, broke in, 16:48 the next thing I knew I was on a big horse 16:52 in the dark night and I was, I didn't know 16:55 where we were going, I was so afraid 16:58 and I felt so lonely you know, 17:02 but without my mother or father, but you know, 17:07 I know I didn't have to feel lonely because 17:10 I believe in the God of Israel. He protect us, 17:14 and he, we can never feel lonely with him 17:20 and you know he actually helped to me find out 17:23 something about Master Naaman that will help 17:26 me help him actually, you see Master Naaman 17:30 had leprosy, really, really bad skin disease 17:33 you know, and oh it was horrible Mistress Naaman 17:38 was all crying all the time, but you know 17:42 so anyways I prayed and I asked God 17:46 and He told me to go and tell Mistress Naaman 17:50 about a Prophet in Israel, his name is Elisha 17:54 and he heals people, he even raised a dead boy 17:58 to life once. Well, she told me that 18:02 we should go and tell Master Naaman so we did, 18:06 and he told the King of Syria and he sent a letter 18:11 to the King of Israel, who, but things got 18:15 a little bit mixed up around there and you see, 18:17 because you see Master Naaman thought 18:22 that it was going to be the King of Israel 18:25 who was going to heal him. Anyways, 18:28 Elisha probably heard about this around the time 18:31 and Elisha told the King to send 18:35 Master Naaman to him. Elisha then sent a 18:39 messenger out and told Master Naaman to go 18:42 and dip in the Jordan river seven times, 18:45 but the Jordan river's such a dirty river 18:47 you know and he thought he was going to hurt 18:51 his national pride because you know he was a foreign 18:53 General dipping in the Jordan river 18:56 which is in Israel. But, fortunately, his officers 19:00 convinced him to try it, besides if Elisha had asked 19:05 him to do something really, really big then 19:07 he would have done it anyway. So they went 19:11 and when he, and he got in, he dipped the first time, 19:16 the second time, the third time and while everybody 19:20 was starting to get nervous now, sixth 19:23 and now the seventh, he dipped slowly under 19:26 the water and when he came up again, 19:29 he was healed. Can you believe the God of Heaven 19:33 healing a Syrian soldier. Wow! God is amazing, 19:38 don't you think. Yes, and he has been so 19:45 faithful to us. He has helped me get a 19:49 good Mistress, Mistress Naaman treats 19:51 almost like her daughter, we like to talk sometimes 19:54 and she's very, very nice, she doesn't 19:58 even really treat me. Little maid, little maid. 20:02 I've got to go, can I pray with you. 20:05 Dear God, please be with this man like you are 20:08 with me and bless this man dear Lord 20:11 in your name we pray, Amen. 20:14 Hope to see you again some time. 20:20 Here dear, can you pay for the onions. Oh, yes. 20:24 To the shopkeeper, thank you. 20:37 This old world is dark and deceiving 20:41 but there's hope for all in believing 20:46 Signs are all around that he's coming 20:50 I'll be somewhere listening for my name 20:54 I'll be somewhere listening I'll be somewhere listening 20:58 I'll be somewhere listening for my name 21:02 I'll be somewhere listening I'll be somewhere listening 21:06 I'll be somewhere listening for my name 21:10 When the Savior calls I will answer 21:14 When He calls for me I will hear 21:19 When the Savior calls I will answer 21:23 I'll be somewhere listening for my name 21:26 I'll be somewhere listening I'll be somewhere listening 21:31 I'll be somewhere listening for my name 21:35 I'll be somewhere listening I'll be somewhere listening 21:40 I'll be somewhere listening for my name 21:43 With thy Holy Spirit fill me 21:48 I submit my Will I will serve thee 21:52 With thy Holy Spirit fill me 21:56 I'll be somewhere listening for my name 22:00 I'll be somewhere listening I'll be somewhere listening 22:04 I'll be somewhere listening for name 22:08 I'll be somewhere listening I'll be somewhere listening 22:13 I'll be somewhere listening for my name 22:16 I'll be somewhere listening for my name. 22:33 Hi boys and girls, it's time for Miss Brenda's 22:35 book of the day and today's book is called 22:38 Hannah's Girls, this one is on Morella, 22:41 written by Ruth Merkel and it's a wonderful book 22:44 boys and girls to learn more about Jesus. 22:47 I would like to introduce you to our guest today, 22:49 we have with us Samuel. Samuel, 22:51 welcome to the program. Thanks Ms. Brenda. 22:53 I am so glad, now this isn't your first time 22:55 on Kids Time. Is it? No. I, in fact you recently 22:58 were with us tapping Bible stories. 22:59 So boys and girls, you can see Samuel, 23:01 if you look our Bible stories, you'll see Samuel 23:02 in there somewhere I'm sure. Samuel, 23:05 what is it specifically that you do to share Jesus? 23:08 I preach, I sing. Now wait, wait, wait, you said 23:11 you preach. Now, how old are you? I'm 12. 23:14 You're 12 years old and you preach? 23:16 In front of people, tell me about it. 23:20 I started when I was 6 years, 5 years old, 23:22 I wrote the sermon. You wrote a sermon 23:24 when you were 5 years old. I had asked my dad 23:26 on Friday if I can preach with him and he had said 23:30 not this time, now which now I understand. 23:33 And your dad's a preacher? Right. 23:34 And so I had gone to, what we call the back room 23:37 and I started writing out a sermon with crayons, 23:40 and so I came out and I showed it to my mom 23:44 and I preached it the next year in vespers. 23:48 And so you've been preaching every since. 23:51 And what is the largest group you've ever 23:53 preached for. 200 to 250 people, I was the keynote 23:57 speaker in a children's week affair. 24:00 That's incredible. So if people see this program 24:03 and wanted you to come and speak you would pray 24:05 about it and consider it. Yes. That's incredible. 24:08 Now what type of things would you preach on? 24:11 My favorite one was on Daniel 7 in Revelation 13. 24:15 That's your favorite and what other topics 24:17 would you preach on? I did John 3:16 24:19 which is a two part, I did, I am starting on 24:22 one just in my spare time in and when I get 24:26 inspired on Psalms 23. Oh yes, that's a wonderful, 24:31 wonderful message in that chapter. 24:35 So, can you tell me when you speak at these places, 24:39 do you have an opportunity afterwards to talk to some 24:41 of kids do they, and. A lot of times they'll come up 24:44 to me and they'll be like hey that's was cool 24:46 you know and a lot of times they'll say you know 24:49 I wanna try doing that too. 24:51 I said it's a good thing to do and it's very good 24:54 and they bring you closer to the Lord. 24:55 It does, in the same time you can share Jesus 24:57 with others. It helps you too doesn't it? 25:00 it really does, and what would you say 25:02 to kids that, that may be are a little bit shy. 25:05 I was shy at first and I got really nervous 25:07 but just go out there and try to be confident 25:10 and just pray and pray with you family a lot. 25:15 Just watch your family. Well, if your family 25:17 loves Jesus. Right. But they might to witness to 25:19 their own family, there's many cases, 25:21 kids have to be witness and maybe their mom 25:23 and dad don't know Jesus and boys and girls 25:25 have to witness right there and preach in their own 25:27 home sometimes right. Yes. And do you take 25:30 advantage of other opportunities 25:32 to witness for Jesus. Yes, sometimes when I go 25:35 to churches and my dad preaches sometimes 25:37 I'll play special music on the piano or sing 25:39 or something like that. Do you like to sing 25:42 and to play, I like composing music 25:45 and stuff like that. So, you have a musical gift, 25:48 you know God gives each one of us talents 25:50 boys and girls that he wants us to use for him, 25:52 and that is so important. You know God, you know 25:55 He has given Samuel a wonder gift to speak, 25:58 he didn't start off with that gift you heard him 26:00 say he was shy. But God can help you, 26:03 if God is calling you to do something, 26:05 he's going to help you with whatever it is he calls 26:08 you to do. Isn't that right Samuel? 26:09 Yes, well let's read a couple of letters here real, 26:11 very quickly, lets see this one is from Botswana 26:15 and let's see who is writing us from Botswana. 26:17 I have a picture here, would you mind 26:18 holding it up me for me please. 26:20 Sure. It's a real pretty girl and her name is 26:25 Pretty, it looks like or Pretty or Psetty, 26:31 I am sure of what I'm spelling. 26:32 Dear Miss Brenda, I am 8 years old and I love Jesus. 26:37 I share Jesus by reading the Bible 26:39 and I also teach my classmates about Him, 26:42 I always go to orphanages with my sister and we read 26:45 the Bible and praise the Lord with the orphans 26:47 and tell them that God loves them. Hope that 26:50 you read my letter. Love, Pretty. 26:52 and I want to tell you, Thank you, 26:53 that's a wonderful thing to do, to help 26:55 the orphans and in fact in the Bible it tells us 26:57 that we should help those that are in need. 26:59 Alright, this one's from Mikaela in Thomasville, 27:02 North Carolina. Can you hold this picture up 27:04 for me please, dear Miss Brenda, 27:06 my name is Mikaela and I am 4 years old 27:08 and I live in North Carolina and I watch your show 27:11 all the time and I love it. Please send me an 27:13 activity book please and as well as the 27:15 Bible studies. I share Jesus by picking apples 27:18 from our trees and giving them to friends and family. 27:21 Love, Mikaela and that is a good way to share Jesus. 27:24 Well, thank you Samuel for being on the program 27:27 with us today. Unfortunately, we are all 27:29 out of time, but I want to encourage you 27:31 wherever you go, whatever you do, 27:32 it's Kids Time to share Jesus. |
