Sunday school today for the students of Grade 4 was spent talking about the events of last week and what we can do to help from this side of the world. Much as we would all like to, not everybody can donate money or fly over there to help but we can all offer prayers of support. Grade 4 of our Sunday school were moved to offer theirs for the people of Samoa.
"Dear God, please make Samoa and its people feel better and to forget what happened to their homes and places and to help them to heal themselves quickly and all the people in New Zealand will remember their loved ones who have died or are still alive. In Jesus' name, Amen."
Alo (Lalomanu)
"Dear Father, I pray that you help the families of Samoa that have lost their lives and that you may bless them with your Holy Spirit and to guide them through their lives. Lord I also pray that you help them to recover from the incident quickly. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
Tanielu (Ti'avea, Aleipata)
"Dear God our heavenly Father, I'm sorry to hear that people have died in Samoa because of the tsunami. I hope that you will send your guiding angels to bless them and take care of them. I hope you bless those who have lost loved ones, family, friends and any kind of relation. I hope you comfort them and help them. In Jesus name we pray through your most holy name, Amen."
Helen
"Dear Lord, I pray that you could help the people in Samoa to recover quickly. I ask you to bless them and be with them when they need help. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
Tevita (Faleatiu)
"Dear God, I pray that you will help all of Samoa to get through the tragice loss of family. In Jesus name, Amen."
Cruz
"Dear Father, I pray that you will help us support our homeland Samoa and you will still be with them no matter where they go or what happens to them, Amen."
Lamp (Saleimoa)"
Talofa Grade 4. Your prayers are beautiful and very moving.

Dear Grade 4 students, thank you very much for sharing your lovely prayers with us all. In times of pain and sorrow we can always turn to our heavenly father for his restoration and help.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the news of the tsunami hit our TV screens, I just couldn't believe it. My family too prayed immediately for God's blessing and protection upon all our loved ones back in Samoa and also its neighbouring islands.
Lets continue to keep strong in mind and spirit, praying for our Lord's armour upon our beautiful nation.
Blessings,
Soteria
Dear Grade 4 students, it is very moving to read & hear all your wonderful prayers not only for our lost loved ones, but also for our family yet to return..Alo, I know you are missing your papa dearly & we all pray on his safe return. Good girl for being strong. Our family too has been deeply saddened by this tragedy, not only losing family members but also houses we have worked so hard to build, to help improve the life of our samoan families. We keep in our hearts & in our prayers everyone who have lost Aunties, Uncles, grandparents, brothers, sisters & not to forget the lives of all the innocent young children taken.. May God continue to bless unto us & grant us with the strength to rebuild a new future for our families & homes in Samoa
