How I Learned about God from my Parents

 Children learn many things from their parents.  Some parents give their children bad examples, like smoking and bad behaviors.  Other good parents pass to their kids valuable heritage.  Thanks to God that my parents did many good things that I can learn from.

 I was born in Sudan, Africa.  The town is Al-Fashir. It is the capital of Darfur province in Western part of Sudan.  My parents lived there for few years before my birth, and 3 years after.

 In Al-Fashir at that time, there was no Church of any denomination.  The nearest church was about three days travel.

 My father bought Bibles and hymn books. He made benches for people to sit on.  He invited all the Christians in Al-Fashir to come every Sunday to our house to worship God.  There was no church building or a priest.  These meetings lasted till we left Al- Fashir.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.

 This reminds me with the churches in early years of Christianity.  Some of the believers used their homes for the meetings of the early churches.

1 Corinthians 16:19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.

Colossians 4:15 Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.

Philippians 1:2 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church that meets in your home:

As parents, what example do we leave to our children?
