Today we studied Gideon. We started out with an object lesson and discussed how the Lord intercedes and fills the distance for us. Sometimes we choose to accept it, but sometimes not - it is up to us. We went through a couple of rounds of a game called Fact or Crap, - basically a True / False format. Then discussed the multitudes of people - the Midianites were - that they were like grasshoppers...and discussed where we've been with the most people and what it felt like.
We then did an activity called the Rest of the Story. The students were each given a statement regarding Gideon, and had to decide whether it was Fact or Crap, and then they had to share the "rest of the story" with the rest of the class.
Finally, one of the students shared a story of a young soccer player from the February New Era, and his decisions regarding following the Lord and serving a mission, or continuing with a professional soccer career.
We ended class with the students writing in their journals in regards to what they can learn from Gideon and his example - how it can be applied in their life.
