This morning I was perusing the Spring, 2008 issue of BCM World, the mission publication of BCM International only to discover an absolutely fascinating story of effective prayer in a Bible Club held in an elementary school in Scotland.
The head teacher of the school did not want BCM worker, Steve Marr, to hold a Bible Club in his school, so insisted that one of the teachers sit in on Marr’s Bible Club in hopes of hearing or observing something that could be used to get the club kicked off the premises. Miss Roberts, the designated teacher sat through the classes, clearly unhappy about what was taking place.
Things really began to unravel after Steve taught a lesson on the life of Joseph. He gave the children a homework assignment to “talk to God about any problem and ask Him to sort it out.” He noticed Miss Roberts growing increasingly agitated. About three weeks after teaching that lesson, Miss Roberts ordered Marr into her office. He thought the end of his Club had arrived, but something totally amazing was about to unfold.
