Each week we receive wonderful feedback from people putting the Red Card curriculum to use across the country. One Sunday-school teacher just taught lesson 4, the one about street kids, and added a few things to enhance the learning of the children - equipping them to make a difference for children at risk throughout the world.

"Our lesson started off with the kids walking into our room which looked like a trash dump. Cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and crumpled paper were everywhere! They could barely find a place to sit. We talked about how uncomfortable we felt in this situation, but that this is how street kids live.
"I recommend buying 'Dynamic Thunderstorm' by Nature Sounds as background 'music.' It was awesome!!! And just 99 cents from iTunes.
"I recommend a spray bottle for water simulating rain.
"When the storm ended, they had to stay there, and we flicked the lights on and asked who would be comfortable sleeping like that all night. How would they feel if there was a storm and they had no home to go to, no family to care about them?
"We asked them, now…what would you want God to do for these street kids? What does God want you to do for these kids?"
Thanks, Lauri, for your feedback and additional tips for making this lesson more interactive.
