I wish I knew... God is Good - No Matter What!
God created the world and is always and only good. This lesson traces the days of creation and celebrates the creator who has made himself known to us. This lesson was donated by a group of writers from India who are children’s ministry leaders, teachers and theologians. Together they put together a module of 10 lessons of the things they wished that they knew when they were young, new Christians, or just learning about Christianity for the first time.
