Bed in Hell By: Hazel S. Yee H ave you ever made a bed in hell? I used to, its not that I am not aware I’m making one, or the bed is placed unintentionally or intentionally there (by me of course)!

Excitement fills my heart when I prepared myself for another comical display of Bible characters, stories and games. I am so inspired when the laughter fills the air and hands raising up eager to answer the questions I gave. I ’ve been a teacher for almost ten years in Sunday school, and leader for Sunday special presentation for the offertory. My experience in this ministry is not only fulfilling, what I can say is, this has become a part of my life that I can never live without. Different generations of children who became teenagers passed under my wings, some of them continued their service in the Lord and are very successful in their ministry and career while others lost sight of their track and never came back. I will never forget the last batch of ...
