TAMIL BIBLE SCHOOL

The Tamil Bible Class has been functioning in our Church since November, 2005. It was pioneered by Mrs. Tara Theyagaraj, as a follow-up program for the Tamil VBS.

About 50 children in the age group of 5-18 attend this class every Saturday from 4-6 p.m. Most of the children come from families that live in the tenements of Dr. Santhosh Nagar. A typical family here has a mother who works as a housemaid in 2-3 homes, a father who is an auto driver or a casual labourer, and 2 or 3 siblings who go to the corporation school or one of the other schools nearby. Most of the fathers are addicted to alcohol, leading to other associated problems in the family. It really hurts to see the amount of pain that children at a tender age go through.

Each week, there’s Singing and some game/activity followed by Bible lesson time. We also have outdoor games for the teenage boys. God has blessed the class with committed, efficient teachers both from our Church and other Churches. Over the years, many children have put their faith in our Living God. The Tamil worship service that is now held every fourth Sunday morning is intended to nurture their budding faith.

 

We invite you to drop in any Saturday and share God’s love with these little boys and girls.
