It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Old Testament Stories for Children - Coloring Book
1.
2. The First Day—Light
The earth was completely empty. Darkness covered the ocean.
Then God said, “Let there be light!” And light began to shine.
God separated the light from the darkness. God named the light
“day,” and he named the darkness “night.” This was the first day.
3. The Second Day—Sky
Then God said, “Let there be a space to separate the water into
two parts!” So God made the space and separated the water.
Some of the water was above it, and some of the water was
below it. God named that space “sky.” This was the second day.
4. The Third Day—Dry Land and Plants
On the third day, God said, “Let the water come together in one
place and the dry land appear.” He called the dry land “earth,”
and he called the water “seas.” God saw that what he had
created was good.
Then God said, “Let the earth grow grass, plants, and fruit
trees.” And it happened. The earth grew grass and plants. And it
grew trees that made fruit with seeds in it. Every plant made its
own kind of seeds. And God saw that this was good.
5. The Fourth Day—Sun, Moon, and Stars
On the fourth day of creation, God said, “Let there be lights in
the sky.” And the sun, the moon, and the stars appeared. God
made them to give light to the earth and to mark day and night,
seasons and years. God saw that what he had created was good.
6. The Fifth Day—Fish and Birds
On the fifth day, God said, “Let living things fill the waters, and
birds fly in the sky.” This is how he made everything that swims
in the water and all the birds. God saw that it was good.
God blessed all the living things in the sea and told them to
have many babies and fill the seas. And he blessed the birds on
land and told them to have many more babies.
7. The Sixth Day—Land Animals and People
God said, “Let the earth produce many kinds of living things. Let
there be many different kinds of animals. Let there be large
animals and small crawling animals of every kind. And let all these
animals produce more animals.” And all these things happened.
Then God said, “Now let’s make humans who will be like us. They
will rule over all the fish in the sea and the birds in the air. They
will rule over all the large animals and all the little things that
crawl on the earth.” So God took some soil, formed it into a man,
and breathed life into him. This man’s name was Adam.
8. A Companion for Adam
God planted a large garden where Adam could live, and put him
there to care for it. Then the Lord God said, “I see that it is not
good for the man to be alone. I will make the companion he
needs”
So God made Adam fall into a deep sleep. Then God took one of
Adam’s ribs and made it into a woman. Her name was Eve.
9. The Seventh Day—Rest
God finished the work he was doing, so on the seventh day he
rested from his work.
Adam and his wife were very happy living in the beautiful garden
God had made for them. Neither of them wore clothes, but this
did not cause them to feel any shame because there was no sin in
the world. They often walked in the garden and talked with God.
10. Sin Enters the World
In the middle of the garden, God planted two special trees—the
tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God told
Adam that he could eat from any tree in the garden except from
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If he ate from this tree,
he would die.
Sadly, there was a crafty snake in the garden. Satan spoke through
the snake in the garden in order to deceive Eve. Then she and
Adam disobeyed God. God then told Adam and Eve they had to
leave the Garden of Eden.
11. Cain and Abel
Eve became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him
Cain. Later, Eve gave birth again to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel
became a shepherd, and Cain became a farmer.
Cain and Abel both offered sacrifices to God. But Abel offered a
better sacrifice to God because he had faith. God said he was
pleased with what Abel offered. And so God called him a good
man because he had faith.
12. Enoch
Enoch was the father of the person who lived the longest in the
Bible, Methuselah. But the most interesting thing regarding Enoch
is that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying— “He
disappeared, because God took him. For before he was taken up,
he was known as a person who pleased God.” (Hebrews
11:5) Enoch pleased God so much that it seems one day he just
walked with God straight into heaven.
13. Noah and the Ark
The descendants of Adam and Eve multiplied. However, many people
turned away from obeying God and did wicked things. This evil that people
did against each other made God very sad, because it made it impossible
for them to enjoy the loving and happy lives that God had intended. God
decided to stop the evildoers.
But God found one good man. His name was Noah. God told Noah about
the flood He was planning to send. He told Noah to build a huge boat. Noah
and his three sons built the boat just the way God had told them.
Then it began to rain, and rain, and rain. It rained for forty days and forty
nights without stopping! The whole world was covered with water. Only
Noah and the others in the boat were left.
14. A Tower to Reach Heaven
For many years after Noah’s death, the people multiplied, and they all spoke
the same language. At one time, they gathered in a valley and devised a
plan:
“Let’s build a city and a great tower that will reach all the way to heaven!” In
their pride, they wanted to build a tower to show how great and powerful
they were. But God was displeased with this plan, and to put a stop to this,
He confused their language.
Very soon, they were no longer able to understand one another and the
work on the tower stopped. The people left the area and the great tower
was left unfinished.
15. God Speaks to Abraham
Hundreds of years later, God spoke to a man named Abraham. God told
him, "Leave your country and family and go to the land I will show you. I
will bless you and make you a great nation. All families on earth will be
blessed because of you."
So Abraham obeyed God. He took his wife, Sarah, together with all of his
servants and everything he owned and went to the land God showed him,
the land of Canaan.
Many years went by, but Abraham and Sarah still did not have a son. God
spoke to Abraham and promised again that he would have a son and as
many descendants as the stars in the sky. Abraham believed God's
promise.
16. The Visitors
One day, Abraham was sitting at the door of his tent. He looked up and
saw three men standing in front of him. Abraham said, “Sirs, please stay a
while. I will get some food for you, then you can continue your journey.”
Abraham took some yogurt and milk and the roasted meat, and he served
it to the men. Then the men said to Abraham, “Where is your wife Sarah?”
Abraham said, “She is there, in the tent.” Then one of them said, “I will
come again in the spring. At that time your wife Sarah will have a son.”
Abraham and Sarah were very old. Sarah was past the right age for women
to have children. So she laughed to herself. Then the Lord said to
Abraham, “Sarah laughed and said she was too old to have a baby. But is
anything too hard for the Lord?”
17. The Son of Promise
God kept His promise. Sarah, Abraham’s wife, bore him Isaac, the forefather
of the Jews [Israelites].
When Isaac was a young man, God tested Abraham’s faith by saying, “Take
Isaac, your only son, and go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of
the mountains, which I will show you.” Again, Abraham obeyed God.
When they reached the place of sacrifice, God said, “Stop! Do not hurt the
boy! Now I know that you fear me because you did not keep your only son
from me.”
Then God said to Abraham, “Because you were willing to give me
everything, even your only son, I promise to bless you.”
18. Jacob and Esau
Isaac married and had two sons, Esau and Jacob. Esau hated Jacob because
Jacob had stolen his rights as oldest son and also his blessing. So he planned
to kill Jacob after their father died. But Rebekah heard of Esau’s plan. So she
and Isaac sent Jacob far away to live with her relatives.
Jacob lived with Rebekah’s relatives for many years. During that time he
married and had 12 sons and a daughter. God made him very wealthy. Then
the Lord said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your father and grandfather,
and I will be with you.”
Jacob returned with his family, his servants, and all his flocks and herds of
animals. He was very afraid because he thought Esau still wanted to kill him.
But Esau no longer wanted to harm Jacob. Instead, he was very happy to see
him again, so the brothers lived peacefully in Canaan.
19. Joseph is Sold as a Slave
Isaac married and had two sons, Esau and Jacob. Jacob had twelve sons.
One of Jacob’s sons was named Joseph.
When Joseph was a teen, his brothers sold him into slavery because they
were jealous of the extra attention their father gave him. Joseph was taken
to Egypt to work as a slave, where he wound up the property of Potiphar,
an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard. Joseph rose to prominence
in his new position, but when Potiphar's wife falsely accused him, he was
thrown into prison.
20. From Slave to Ruler
One night, the Pharaoh had two dreams that disturbed him greatly.
None of his advisors could tell him the meaning of the dreams. But God
had given Joseph the ability to interpret dreams, so Pharaoh had Joseph
brought to him from the prison. Joseph interpreted the dreams for him
and said, "God is going to send seven years of plentiful harvests, followed
by seven years of famine." Pharaoh was so impressed with Joseph that he
appointed him to be the second most powerful man in all of Egypt!
Joseph told the people to store up large amounts of food during the
seven years of good harvests. Then Joseph sold the food to the people
when the seven years of famine came so they would have enough to eat.
When the famine reached Joseph’s native land of Canaan, Jacob sent
Joseph’s older brothers to Egypt to buy grain. There, Joseph revealed
himself to them. Jacob, Joseph’s brothers and their families then moved to
Egypt and lived there in peace and abundance.
21. Baby Moses
After Joseph died, all of his relatives stayed in Egypt. They and their
descendants continued to live there for many years and had many children.
However, the Egyptians no longer remembered Joseph and all he had done
to help them. The Pharaoh who was ruling Egypt at that time made the
Israelites slaves to the Egyptians.
The Pharaoh of Egypt feared that the Hebrew slaves were becoming too
numerous and would one day revolt against the Egyptians. Therefore he
ordered that all newborn Hebrew boys be killed. But one woman disobeyed
pharaoh. To save her baby boy from the soldiers, she put him in a basket
and placed him in the river, praying for God to save her baby. Because of
her faith and ingenuity, Moses was found and adopted by the Pharaoh's
daughter, was raised and educated in the Pharaoh's household, and later
led his true people out of bondage to the Promised Land.
22. Escape Through the Red Sea
When word reached the king of Egypt that the Israelites had fled,
Pharaoh harnessed his chariot and called up his troops. The Egyptians then
chased after the Israelites and caught up with them as they were camped
beside the shores of the Red Sea.
As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked.
But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the
Lord rescue you today”
Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a
path through the water. the people of Israel walked through the middle of
the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!
When all the Israelites had reached the other side, Moses raised his
hand over the sea, and the water rushed back into its usual place. The
Egyptians tried to escape, but the Lord swept them into the sea.
23. The Ten Commandments
After God led the Israelites through the Red Sea, he led them through the
wilderness to a mountain called Sinai. Only Moses was allowed to go up
the mountain.
God wrote Ten Commandments on two stone tablets and gave them to
Moses. God also gave many other laws and rules to follow. If the people
obeyed these laws, God promised that he would bless and protect them.
24. A Donkey Speaks
Balaam had been asked by the king of Moab to falsely prophesy a curse
against the Israelites who were journeying through the desert near the
land of Moab. God told Balaam to not curse the Israelites because they
were blessed; however, Balaam chose to travel with the princes of Moab to
curse the Israelites.
God was angry that Balaam went with them, so He sent an angel to stop
Balaam. When the donkey saw the angel with his sword drawn, she lay
down. Balaam beat the donkey, but God opened the mouth of the donkey,
and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you beat me these
three times?” Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel
standing in the way, with his sword drawn. Balaam then bowed down his
head, and fell flat on his face. In the end, Balaam obeyed God by blessing
the Israelites.
25. Joshua Takes Command
When Moses died, Joshua became the new leader of the
Israelites. Joshua was a good leader because he trusted and
obeyed God.
The Lord spoke to Joshua and said, "Joshua, you must be strong
and brave! Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be
with you wherever you go.”
26. Rahab
Joshua sent two spies to the Canaanite city of Jericho that was
protected by strong walls. In that city there lived a prostitute
named Rahab who hid the spies and later helped them to
escape. She did this because she believed God. They promised
to protect Rahab and her family when the Israelites would
destroy Jericho.
Rahab and her family became part of the Israelites. Rahab later
married and became one of Jesus’ ancestors.
27. Ruth, a Young Woman from Moab
After Naomi’s husband and two sons died in Moab she decided to return
to her homeland, Israel. Naomi suggested to both of her daughters-in-law
that they should stay in their own country but one daughter-in-law, Ruth,
chose to go with Naomi to her home in Israel. “Do not ask me to leave you.
Wherever you go, I will go. Your people will be my people and your God my
God,” Ruth told Naomi.
Naomi and Ruth arrived in Bethlehem during the harvest season.
Because they were poor, Ruth went to pick up grain left behind after the
men had harvested the fields. There one day she met Boaz, a land owner
and a relative of Naomi’s deceased husband.
Boaz and Ruth loved each other and decided to be married. They had a
son whom they named Obed, who was to be the grandfather of King David.
This line of family members continued for many generations and had a
special descendant, Jesus, God’s Son.
28. Young Samuel
A long time ago in Israel there was a married woman by the name of
Hannah who had no children.
Hannah prayed to one day have children, and told God that she would
raise her son to serve Him. God heard her prayers, and gave her a baby
son that Hannah and her husband named Samuel.
As promised, Hannah raised Samuel to love and serve God, and when he
was old enough she took him to the temple for training. She said to Eli,
the priest, “I was the woman that you saw years ago praying at the
temple for a son. The Lord God has answered my prayers, and we would
like your help in training Samuel to serve God.”
29. “Speak, Lord, Your Servant Listens”
Little Samuel served the Lord by helping Eli the priest. One night, after
Samuel went to live with Eli, while he was sleeping, Samuel heard a voice
calling him. He woke up and ran to where Eli slept. “Here I am,” he said,
because he thought that Eli had called him. But Eli said, “I didn’t call you.
Go back to bed.”
Two more times Samuel heard the same voice and ran to see Eli. Eli then
realized that God wanted to talk to Samuel, and told Samuel how to
respond the next time he heard the voice. When God called Samuel again,
he sat up in his bed and answered, “Speak, Lord. As Your servant, I am
listening”. God then spoke to Samuel with an important message.
When Samuel grew up, he became a judge to the people and one of Israel’s
greatest prophets.
30. A Young Shepherd
Due to Saul’s disobedience, God sent Samuel to choose a new king for
Israel. Samuel was to go to Bethlehem and offer a sacrifice to God along
with Jesse one of the leaders of the city. God promised to show Samuel the
man to be the new king.
When Jesse came with his sons, Samuel saw one of his sons, Eliab, and
said to himself, Surely this is the one. But the Lord said, “Pay no attention to
how tall and handsome he is, because I do not judge as people judge. They
look at the outward appearance, but I look at the heart.”
Jesse brought seven of his sons to meet Samuel, but none were God’s
choice. Samuel then asked Jesse, “Do you have another son?” Jesse replied,
“I have one more, the youngest. He’s taking care of the sheep.” Jesse then
called his youngest son, David, to come. When Samuel saw David, the Lord
spoke to him, “This is the one. Anoint him as the new king.” And
immediately the spirit of God was with David from that day on.
31. A Shepherd Boy and a Giant
While King Saul of Israel was fighting a war against the Philistines, a giant
soldier of the Philistines’ army came and defied the Israelite army. “Send a
man who dares to fight me,” said Goliath, the giant. “If he kills me, the
Philistines will be your servants. But if I kill him, you will be our slaves!” Not
one soldier in King Saul’s army dared answer the challenge to fight the
biggest, strongest, most feared man of all the Philistine soldiers.
Unexpectedly, a young man spoke up, “I’ll do it.” This young shepherd, who
was not a soldier, valiantly faced the fierce giant armed with only a sling and
a few stones. “You come with a sword and a spear and a shield,” the boy
cried. “But I come in the name of the Lord God who will give me the victory!”
And God did! The name of the young shepherd was David, who later
became the king of Israel.
32. Solomon
After many years, David died, and his son Solomon began to rule over
Israel. God asked Solomon what he wanted most. When Solomon asked
for wisdom, God was pleased and made him the wisest man in the world.
Solomon built the Temple for which his father David had planned. People
now worshiped God and offered sacrifices to him at the Temple instead of
at the Tent of Meeting.
Solomon blessed the people and said, "Praise the Lord! He has kept his
promise and given us peace. May the Lord help us to always obey Him.”
33. Elisha's Secret Army
The king of Aram (present-day Syria) was at war with ancient Israel and
had sent an entire army to the city of Dothan to capture the prophet
Elisha. They came by night, so when Elisha's servant woke and went out
early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded
the city.
"Don't be afraid," the prophet said. "Those who are with us are more
than those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, "O Lord, open his
eyes so he may see." Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he
looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around
Elisha.
34. Naaman and the Slave Girl
Naaman was an important officer in the Syrian army. He was a great
soldier, but he suffered from a serious skin disease. A young servant girl
who was serving in Naaman’s house said to her mistress: “My master
should visit the prophet who lives in Samaria. The prophet could cure my
master of his disease.”
So Naaman went with his horses and chariot and stopped at the
entrance to the house of the prophet Elisha. Elisha sent a servant to tell
Naaman to wash himself seven time in the Jordan River.
At first Naaman felt humiliated to be asked to do such a simple act.
However, his servant told him, “Sir, if the prophet had told you to do
something difficult, you would have done it. Now why can’t you just wash
yourself, as he said, and be cured?”
And so Naaman did and was completely cured.
35. The Oil is Multiplied
One day a widow came to Elisha and cried out, “My husband, a prophet
who served God, is dead, and now a creditor has come, threatening to take
my two sons as slaves.”
“What can I do to help you?” Elisha asked. “Tell me, what do you have in
the house?”
“Nothing at all, except a flask of olive oil,” she replied.
Elisha said, “Borrow as many empty jars as you can from your friends and
neighbors. Then pour olive oil from your flask into the jars, setting each one
aside when it is filled.”
So she did as she was told. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she filled
one after another. Soon every container was full to the brim!
When she told the man of God what had happened, he said to her, “Now
sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what
is left over.”
36. The Floating Ax Head
One day the group of prophets came to Elisha and told him, “As you can
see, this place where we meet with you is too small. Let’s go down to the
Jordan River, where there are plenty of logs. There we can build a new
place for us to meet.”
“All right,” he told them, “go ahead.”
When they arrived at the Jordan, they began cutting down trees. But as
one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. “Oh, sir!” he
cried. “It was a borrowed ax!”
“Where did it fall?” Elisha asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha
cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. Then the ax head
floated to the surface. “Grab it,” Elisha said. And the man reached out and
grabbed it.
37. Hezekiah’s Sickness and Recovery
King Hezekiah became deathly ill, and the prophet Isaiah gave the king this
message: “This is what the Lord says: Set your affairs in order, for you will not
recover from this illness.” When Hezekiah heard this, he prayed.
Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, this message came to him from
the Lord: “Go back to Hezekiah. Tell him, ‘I have heard your prayer and seen
your tears. I will heal you.’”
Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What sign will the Lord give to prove that he will
heal me?” Isaiah replied, “This is the sign from the Lord to prove that he will
do as he promised. Would you like the shadow on the sundial to go forward
ten steps or backward ten steps?”
“The shadow always moves forward,” Hezekiah replied, “so that would be
easy. Make it go ten steps backward instead.” So Isaiah the prophet asked the
Lord to do this, and God caused the shadow to move ten steps backward on
the sundial.
38. The Young King Josiah
Josiah was eight years old when he became king of Judah. He obeyed
God’s law and like his ancestor, King David, he stayed faithful to God.
Josiah sent some of his officials to the Temple to organize repairs and
cleaning, and as they were working on the temple rooms, they found an
old scrolls containing the law of God.
King Josiah then called his people to assemble at the Temple. He read
the law from the scrolls to the people, and they all made a covenant with
the Lord to keep His commandments and follow His law.
Many reforms were made, and the Temple and all of the land was
cleaned of the false idols they had worship. He served God with all of his
heart, mind, and strength and did his best to obey God’s law.
39. The Prophets
God was always sending prophets to the Israelites. The prophets
heard messages from God and then told them to the people.
The prophets warned the people that they must stop doing evil and
obey God instead. If the people did not do this, then God would
punish them.
Most of the time, the people did not obey God. They often
mistreated the prophets. But the prophets continued to speak for
God even though the people hated them.
40. Taken Captive to Babylon
In the time of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of
Babylon attacked the city of Jerusalem. After capturing Jerusalem and
seizing some of the Temple treasures, Nebuchadnezzar returned to
Babylon taking with him Israelite prisoners. Among them were the young
sons of Jerusalem’s noblemen. The Bible tell us the story of four of them:
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Daniel.
These four young men stood strong in their belief and faith in God. Due
to their examples of diligence and trustworthiness, God was able to raise
them up to important positions of responsibility in the king’s court where
Daniel helped the king through his God-given skills of interpreting visions
and dreams.
41. Daniel Interprets King Nebuchadnezzar's Dream
One night, Nebuchadnezzar had such disturbing dreams that he
couldn’t sleep. He called in his magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and
astrologers, and he demanded that they tell him what he had dreamed.
The men replied, “The king’s demand is impossible. No one except the
gods can tell you your dream, and they do not live here among people.”
The king was furious when he heard this, and he ordered that all the wise
men of Babylon be executed.
Then Daniel went home and told his friends Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego what had happened. He urged them to ask God to show them
his mercy by telling them the dream and its meaning, so they would not
be executed along with the other wise men of Babylon. That night God
revealed the dream and its interpretation to Daniel in a vision.
42. Daniel in the Lion’s Den
When the Medes overthrew the Babylonians, Daniel became a senior
administrator during the reign of King Darius. However, Daniel's fellow
governors became jealous and plotted against him. They persuaded Darius
to decree restrictions on prayer and worship, under penalty of death, but
Daniel's well-known devotion to his God compelled him to ignore the
decree.
When Daniel was thrown into a den of hungry lions, it seemed that would
be the end of him, but the next morning he emerged from the den
unscathed. The king was overjoyed and decreed that everyone throughout
the kingdom should respect the God of Daniel.
43. Brave and Beautiful Queen Esther
During the rule of King Ahasuerus, there lived a Jewish man named
Mordecai in the capital, Shushan. In Mordecai’s care was Esther, his uncle’s
daughter, whom he had adopted after the death of her parents.
Esther was a young Jewish girl when she caught the eye of the Persian king.
After becoming queen, Esther risked her life to save her people when the
king's corrupt minister, Haman, ordered all the Jews in the kingdom to be
put to death.
44. The Runaway Prophet
God instructed His prophet Jonah to deliver a message to the powerful city
of Nineveh to warn them that God was very displeased with their
wickedness. But Jonah didn’t want to do this, and instead of going to
Nineveh, he boarded a ship that was sailing in the opposite direction.
God wasn’t pleased with Jonah’s disobedience. Soon a terrible storm arose
at sea. The terrified sailors suspected that their problem had something to
do with Jonah. After admitting his disobedience, Jonah told them that they
should throw him overboard and that God would then stop the storm.
Once Jonah had been thrown into the sea, the storm ceased, but God hadn’t
forgotten about poor Jonah and sent a big fish to swallow him. After three
days and three nights, the fish spit Jonah out onto the shore and Jonah did
what God had asked.
