As parents especially with children on the Spectrum face a new school term, there may be fears that come across. Will my child adapt well, will the teachers understand him/ her, will they be bullied/ abused physically, emotionally.

All these may raise a lot of anxiety but the word of God this morning is encouraging us that there is an Angel assigned to your child who sees the face of the Father always. The Father sends these ministering Angels to attend to all the children including them that are on the Spectrum.

He rescues them, watches over them, and speaks on their behalf. Be encouraged to release your child and trust the Father to watch after them into safety and into their success.

Happy Sunday🤍

In 1985, a 3-year-old girl in Nairobi was diagnosed with “moderate to severe mental re**rdation with signs of autism.” Nobody around her understood what that meant so she was bullied by classmates, insulted by teachers, and told she'd never be good enough.

Inside our church, we have a designated space just for kids who need a quiet moment. Some call it a sensory corner, others a quiet corner. It's not about separating children with autism or other disabilities from the group; it's about giving them a few minutes to recuperate so they can come back and be fully part of Sunday school. Every church's sensory corner looks different, it just depends on what your local church can create. Tag a children's ministry leader who needs to see this!

Dans notre église, nous avons un espace dédié aux enfants qui ont besoin d'un moment de calme. Certains l'appellent le coin sensoriel, d'autres le coin calme. Il ne s'agit pas d'isoler les enfants autistes ou en situation de handicap du reste du groupe, mais de leur donner quelques minutes pour récupérer avant de revenir avec les autres. Chaque coin sensoriel est différent, cela dépend simplement de ce que votre église locale peut créer. Identifiez un responsable de ministère pour enfants qui devrait voir ceci!

If I'm cold, I put on a jacket. So why wouldn't I put on compassion? In Colossians 3:12, God calls us His chosen ones, holy and dearly loved and asks us to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, and patience. This is especially for Sunday school teachers and anyone serving children and adults with disabilities: wear compassion like the armor of God, every single day. Tag someone who could use this encouragement today.

Si j'ai froid, je mets une veste. Alors pourquoi ne pas revêtir la compassion ? Dans Colossiens 3:12, Dieu nous appelle ses élus, saints et tendrement aimés et nous demande de nous revêtir de compassion, de bonté, d'humilité et de patience. Ce message s'adresse particulièrement aux enseignants d'école du dimanche et à tous ceux qui servent des enfants et des adultes en situation de handicap : portez la compassion comme l'armure de Dieu, chaque jour. Identifiez quelqu'un qui a besoin de cet encouragement aujourd'hui.

A pastor in Kenya shares a simple truth: welcoming children with autism into church isn't complicated.It starts with asking for training and actually inviting families in. Practice it enough, and inclusion becomes second nature, just like brushing your teeth. Tag a church leader who needs to see this. 🙏

Un pasteur au Kenya partage une vérité simple : accueillir les enfants dans le spectre de l’autisme à l'église n'est pas compliqué. Tout commence par demander une formation et inviter réellement les familles. À force de le pratiquer, l'inclusion devient une seconde nature, tout comme se brosser les dents. Identifiez un responsable d'église qui doit voir ceci. 🙏

Every child deserves to feel like they belong, including the ones who communicate differently. In this video, we share simple, practical ways church volunteers can help a special needs buddy feel truly welcomed: learn their name, discover what they like, use matching worksheets tied to Bible stories, and ask questions even when a child isn't speaking yet (a look or a nod counts!). Tag a fellow volunteer or parent who needs to see this. đź’›

Chaque enfant mérite de se sentir à sa place, y compris ceux qui communiquent différemment. Dans cette vidéo, nous partageons des moyens simples et concrets pour aider les bénévoles d'église à faire en sorte qu'un enfant à besoins particuliers se sente vraiment le/la bienvenu (e) : apprendre son prénom, découvrir ce qu'il/elle aime, utiliser des fiches d'association liées aux histoires bibliques, et lui poser des questions même s'il/elle ne parle pas encore (un regard ou un hochement de tête compte !). Identifiez un(e) bénévole ou un parent qui a besoin de voir ça. 💛

We may not always feel compassionate, but the Word is reminding us to “PUT ON” compassion. We have to wear compassion just like we wear a shirt or jacket. Compassion can sometimes be hard because we don’t always understand what someone else is going through.

Webster’s dictionary tells us that compassion is “a deep feeling of sadness or care for someone who has a hard time, paired with a strong wish to help them feel better.”

Sympathy is when you see someone in pain, empathy is when you sit with someone and can relate to their pain, compassion is when you see someone is in need and you do what you can to help.

Andrea Tornielli wrote this, “Compassion involves. It comes from the heart and involves and leads you to do something. Compassion is suffering with, taking the other person’s suffering on yourself to resolve it, to heal it.”

When you wake up in the morning, I encourage you to pray that God helps you wear compassion, to “PUT ON” compassion. That wherever you go, you can show someone else compassion.

Happy Sunday🤍
