Ringkasan:
Adoniram completed translating the New Testament from English to Burmese. So, the Burmese people can read the Bible in their own language. Sadly there was a new problem, there was war. The English soldiers attached Burma.
As the Burma was now at war with English, all foreigners in Burma were captured and put in
prison. This included Adoniram and Dr Price (although they were not Englishmen).
Their most valuable treasure were the New Testament manuscripts translated by Adoniram.
Ann placed the manuscript in a pillow and sent it to Adoniram, who was in the prison.
Afterward, Ann gave birth to a girl, Maria.
One day, Adoniram was moved from prison to another place. As both of his hand were cuffed, so with a heavy heart Adoniram had to leave his precious pillow, which contained the New Testament manuscripts. However, he believed that if God called him, God will also help.
Tuhan telah mengasihi Adoniram dan kita, sehingga kita bisa mengasihi orang lain. Kasih Tuhan yang mendorong kita untuk memberitakan Injil kepada orang-orang yang belum percaya. Walaupun akan ada kesulitan dalam pemberitaan Injil. Kita berdoa dan berserah kepada Tuhan, karena jika Tuhan yang memanggil, Dia pula yang akan memperlengkapi dan menolong kita.
Aplikasi:
Anak belajar untuk memberitakan Injil kepada orang-orang di sekitarnya.
Ayat Hafalan:
