my moms friend ellan's dad just died and she has two young boys ages
13 and 10-11 (somewhere around there). i have to babysit them tonite and they just found out (it happen sunday at 1230 am) they're always talking about thier problems to me like i am God and can help them through their not quit old enough for a visit to this site so this won't help. what can/should i do if the topic of death is brought up. when a young boy in our school drownd in our near by river they kept asking me when they were goning to die and if they would go to heaven and i told to pray about it and they did. any way, they're very close to their grandpa and to loose them so quickly is going to be hard for them just like with me and my grandma earlier this year. it was hard b/c i was close to her. and now they're going into the same feelings as i did, hate and anger, feeling p*********** at the world and wanting to die just to be with her adn see her happy again!! (sorry about the p word) !!!! c-yah!!

Thanks for caring for the kids! That is so awesome.

Try the techniques outlined in this Bible study on fishing.

Please let us know how they respond.

FISHING TECHNIQUES
“He who wins souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30b

When we catch a fish it is alive and our action causes it to die.
When we catch someone for Jesus they’re dead and God brings them to life.

The license From Jesus Matthew 4:18-20
The fisherman Every believer Matthew 9:37-38
The season Today 2 Corinthians 6:2
The rod God’s Word Hebrews 4:12-13
The line God’s Holy Spirit Acts 1:8
The creel The Book of Life Revelation 20:15
The bait A brand new life 2 Corinthians 5:17
The sinker Compassion Matthew 9:36
The bobber God’s leading John 6:44
The water Our world 1 Corinthians 10:31

THE INTERVIEW
Do not use questions that can be answered with a “yes” or “no.”

Why should God let you into His Heaven?
I’m good Romans 3:23
I haven’t sinned that much James 2:10
I’ve never sinned 1 John 1:8-10
I’m religious Matthew 7:21-23
I’ve found another way John 14:6
I have my own faith Proverbs 14:12
IF THE INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT ADMIT BEING A SINNER THAT IS AS FAR AS IT GOES. IF (S)HE DOESN’T SIN (S)HE HAS NO NEED FOR A SAVIOR.

Where do we look for the answers?
The Manufacturer’s Handbook Hebrews 4:12-13

The way from the Bible
Our sin must be paid for Romans 6:23a
The gift must be received Romans 6:23b
Great is God’s love for us Psalm 103:8-11
Our sins are gone Psalm 103:12
Have the individual tell the way back to you
Listen carefully for understanding.

The Choices
1. “God, no thanks.”
2. “Maybe someday, first I’ve got to ____________________.”
3. “God, today, ___________________, I want to be that brand new person.

Offer to pray with the individual or have him pray be himself.

Be willing to feed the newborn
Solid food is needed 1 Peter 2:2
Be there for the new believer James 2:15-17
Be sure they know you care about
all of their needs abd hurts. 1 Cor 12:26
(S)He needs fellowship Hebrews 10:24-25

Pray for each other for God’s leading and strength as we fish for the souls of men. We need to uphold all those in the waters around us as we may be their only chance to hear about Jesus.

Prayer is essential 1Thess 5:16-18
We need to offer a petition Philippians 4:4-7

NOW GO FISHING!!
