Beckles, Jr. I'm an Elementary School Teacher, black belt martial artist, and an ordained Minister. I've taught for Public and Private Schools for over ten years. I'm the father of two children, a six year old son, and a baby girl. I've been a Youth Minister, Assistant Pastor, and Pastor of a Christian Non-Denominational Church. My goal as a writer, and author of this book, is to educate children about the Bible, and to simplify learning Christianity, making it fun, and rewarding. To illustrate and point out moral, ethical, values that are fundamental lessons, inspired by God in the Holy Bible. Reading interpretations of the scriptures can be the best way of stimulating your child, or student, to value education, learn moral values, and refrain from criminal activity, and grow up to become productive citizens. I hope that you will enjoy my book. Thank you.... http://vantagepress.angelfire.com/author/ JONAH AND THE BIG FISH The story of Jonah and the Big Fish, is a message from God to us about the importance of obedience, like when you disobey your parents, you are upsetting God, and committing a sin. God wants children to love, honor, and respect Him, and your elders. One day, many centuries ago God chose a man named Jonah, who was a Prophet (someone that God speaks to, to preach, or give messages to his people to help them, and predicts the future). God told Jonah, to go to a great city named Nineveh , and preach to them about turning away from wickedness, and doing bad things, or God would destroy the city. Jonah was a man of the Lord, the reason God chose him to be a prophet, was to set a positive example to people, to do the right things like: being honest, to love each other, and help people. But we will learn in this particular Bible story, about a man; who was supposed to the right thing, by listening to God and helping people, but chose not to do it, so God lets some bad things happen to him to show him how important obedience is, instead of punishing the people of Nineveh. So let?s see how our lesson begins. When Jonah had heard what God had told him to do. Instead of going to Nineveh to preach, and warn the people, he got up and fled from the presence of the Lord, to a city named Tar shish, now before he arrived there, he stopped at a town, named Joppa; and found a ship going to Tar shish, so he paid the fare to get aboard the ship, and sailed with the crew of the ship. Jonah didn't want to do what God told him, because he hated the people of Nineveh , and knew that if he spoke to them about God?s wrath, and turning away from evil, that they would be destroyed. And he thought that by ignoring God, he could let his enemies perish, rather than be saved.. Don't you agree, that was a terrible thing to do? But the Lord, soon sent out a great wind into the deep blue sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, the disturbance in the sea was so catastrophic, the crew of the ship were in trouble, and the ship was about to be destroyed. Then the sailors were afraid, and every man starts to worship other gods, and they threw out stuff that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the ship. But the trouble would not stop, and while all the commotion was going on, Jonah was downstairs to the side of the ship, fast asleep! So the shipmaster came to him, and said "What are you doing sleeping, while my ship and crew are about to perish? Get up, and call upon your God, so that he might spare us!" Then the crew said to him, "Please tell us, who among us, has caused all this trouble upon us; what your occupation is? Where do you come from? What country are you from? And who are your people? Jonah answered them, and said "I am Hebrew (or Jewish); and I am a man of the Lord, I fear and worship only one God, the only true and living God of Heaven, who made the sea and the dry land. When the men heard this, they became exceedingly afraid, and said to Jonah "Why have you done this to us, why have you abandoned the Lord, and disobeyed His orders to you? Then they said to him, "what are we going to do with you, and how can we make things right with God, and calm the sea? Because the sea was wild, and raging uncontrollably. Jonah said to them, "Take me up, and throw me overboard into the sea; so the sea will calm down, because I know that it is the Lord that is disrupting the sea!" Nevertheless, the men did not want to throw Jonah overboard, so they rowed hard to try to bring it to the land; but they failed, for the sea remain tempestuous, and raging against the ship. So the men cried to the Lord for help, and said "We beg you Oh Lord; God please do not let us suffer or die for, this man's disobedience, and we do not want to be punished for throwing him into the sea, because we are innocent of his crime, please spare us, and our ship, for You alone are mighty enough to calm the sea!" Then they took up Jonah, and tossed him overboard into the sea, and the sea suddenly became calm once more. After that, the men saw the miracle of God, and believed in Him, realizing that Jonah's God was the only one true living God of the entire world. The men began to worship God, and offered sacrifices unto the Lord, and made vows to serve Him forever. Now once Jonah was in the sea, the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow him up. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Later Jonah prayed unto the Lord, to forgive him and to release him, out of the belly of the fish. And he said, "Lord please forgive me for disobeying you, and hear my prayers, for You have cast me into the deep sea, in the midst of the seas; and the floods of the waves are all around me, and You have punished me for my sin against You, by delivering me into the belly of a whale, out of your sight; yet I will repent of my transgression, and beg for Your forgiveness...." Jonah was very much afraid, because he was inside the belly of a big fish that was living and swimming at the bottom of the sea! Wouldn't you be scared and wonder if God would save you, and forgive you, for disobeying Him? Even though, everything seemed very bad for Jonah, he never gave up hope in the Lord, he believed that God would forgive him, and have mercy, because He is a really good God. So Jonah kept praying, and thanking the Lord for saving him from being drowned, or eaten by the fish, so God finally heard his prayers, and spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out of its mouth, and into dry land. And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying "get up and go to the great city of Nineveh , and preach to the people, to repent, and turn from their wicked ways. This time, Jonah listened. And went to Nineveh . Nineveh was a great city, and it was a three days journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city in a day's journey. Finally, Jonah preached God's message to the people of Nineveh , "In forty days, Nineveh , shall be overthrown." So the people of Nineveh feared the Lord and believed in Him. And the city proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from rich to the poor of the people, because word came from the king of Nineveh , and from his throne, he repented from evil ways. And he proclaimed and published throughout the city, that Nineveh by decree of the king and his nobles, saying "Let no one, neither man or animal, taste or drink anything, but let everyman beg forgiveness from God, and turn away from evil, and doing bad things. So that God might forgive us of our sins, and spare the city from destruction." And the people, was heartily sorry for what they have done, and obeyed their king, and repented of their crimes against God. So the Lord saw their works, and that they turned away from doing bad things, and God decided to spare the city of Nineveh . What do you think about that! See how merciful and forgiving God can be? But Jonah, was a stubborn man, and was very unhappy with what God did for the people of Nineveh . And Jonah prayed to God, reminding Him of all the evil things, the people of Nineveh have done in the past, hurting his people, and offending him. And letting God know about his bitterness, toward the Nineties, and how angry he was for the Lord saving his enemies. What Jonah didn't understand, is that God loves all people, no matter who they are, and he loves you too. God doesn't desire anyone disobey Him, do bad things, or perish. He wants our love, our worship, faith, and to forgive others, who hurt us, as he has forgiven us. That's why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He was resurrected from the grave to give us everlasting life (John 3:16). Isn't the Lord a wonderful God to serve? Are you happy God is not like man, His love, understanding, compassion, and mercy are limitless! God later explains this to Jonah, and makes him understand that saving souls, and sparing people's lives, is the main purpose of His ministry, and that Jonah was no better than the people of Nineveh ! All people, past and present have come short in honoring God. Nobody is perfect, and we all deserve forgiveness. Obedience, love, and forgiveness, is the most important things that we can do to honor God, and we must examine the way we treat people, especially our enemies, because the Lord loves us all, and wants all of us to serve Him well. He desires all boys and girls to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and receive everlasting life. So remember to obey God, and your parents, and love one another, and always strive to do what is right, and do good things in the sight of the Lord, not bad things. And God will forgive you, and always be there for you too. Rev. Dr. Franklyn V.

Under the leadership of J. B. Fuqua, Steve Manderson located African-American gospel groups to appear on the program, and also hosted the program. At that time each group had its sponsors to pay for their time on the air. This allowed many businesses that normally could not get on television, an opportunity to advertise their products and services. Also, with its vast viewing audience, many businesses found the program to be an excellent vehicle to reach the African American community. Originally, this Sunday morning program was on for two and one-half hours. Some of the original groups to appear included the Abraham Brothers, Swanee Quintet, Veteran Harmonizers, Gospel Echo Soul Stirrers, and others. The groups would sing, talk about their sponsor and then tell the benefits for churches and groups to raise money for needed projects. Upon the retirement of Steve Manderson, Henry L. Howard became the program's host and producer. Howard was the lead singer and manager of "The Spirits of Harmony," a singing group that was a regular on the Parade of Quartets. This was a natural transition and worked well for the program. Howard's improvements included adding the morning's prayer and becoming more aggressive in promoting minority businesses and gospel music in general. He saw the need to bring in a community service segment with guests coming in to be interviewed. This particular segment was called 'Past, Present, Future.' In the early 1980's, Howard brought his son Karlton Howard on as co-host during a family crisis. Since that time, Karlton Howard has become host and producer. This gave Howard more time for his political career as county commissioner and state representative. Mr. Howard brought in the idea of offering the Sunday school lesson weekly. Several co-hosts have been able to assist with the program. They include Valerie Howard, Mary Adams, Pam Parris, Roberta Stephens, Betty Griffin, Alicia B. Martin, Marco Brooks, Judy Jones Frank Brown. The list of national recording artist appearing or performing on the program includes, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Shirley Caesar, Aiken Academy Principal- Franklyn V. Beckles, Sr., Williams Brothers, Slim and the Supreme Angels, Willie Neal and the Gospel Keynotes, Violinaires, Dorothy Norwood, Christianaires, Tommy Ellison, Donnie Harper, Jackson Southernaires, CBS Trumperteers, F.C. Barnes, Luther Barnes, Sunset Jubilaires, Troy Ramey, James Brown, Joe Simon, Rev. Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr., his son- Christian Beckles, and The Songbirds, Dixie Hummingbirds, Willie Banks, Jaylen Beckles (the second son of Dr. Beckles, Jr.), and Julius Cheeks, Clarence Fountain and Al Green. Many national, state and local political leaders have made their way to the stage of the Parade of Quartets. Jesse Jackson appeared live one Sunday morning before announcing his candidacy for president of the United States of America. Georgia Governor Roy Barnes and state Senator Charles Walker are among those who have appeared. The nine o'clock morning hour in the Augusta area has long been blessed by the Parade of Quartets. The program is thought to be the longest continuous running program in the United States. God Answers Samuel?s Prayer 1 Samuel 7:3-13 The Israelites were afraid they would be attacked by the Philistines. Samuel urged them to turn away from their idols and truly return to the Lord by obeying, serving, and worshiping Him. If they did, God promised to deliver them. As the Philistines approached, the Israelites asked Samuel to pray for them. Samuel prayed to God on the Israelites? behalf and God saved them. God Covenants with David 2 Samuel 7:8-17 King David wanted to build the temple and discussed this with the prophet Nathan. At first Nathan encouraged David to proceed, but after receiving work from the Lord, he told David God did not want him to do so. David was reminded of how God brought him to the throne. Nathan revealed God?s promise to establish David and continue his house forever?a promise fulfilled through Jesus Christ. God Grants Wisdom to Solomon 1 Kings 3:3-14 King Solomon went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices to the Lord. While there, God appeared to Solomon in a dream and asked him what he wanted. After recalling God?s faithfulness to his father, David, Solomon asked God to give him the wisdom to carry out his job. God was pleased with Solomon and granted his request. God promised Solomon unparalleled wisdom along with riches, honor, and the potential for long life, if he continued to follow and obey the Lord. Elijah Triumphs with God 1 Kings 18:20-24, 30-35, 38-39 Elijah wanted the Israelites to take a stand and decide whom they were going to follow?the one true God, or the Baal idols they were worshiping. The prophet issued a challenge to prove to King Ahab and the people who, alone, was God. When it was Elijah?s turn, he wet the altar, cried out to God, who responded by fire, proving He is God. Josiah Brings Reform 2 Kings 22:8-10; 23:1-3, 21-23 During the repair of the temple, the Book of the Covenant was found and brought to King Josiah. Upon reading it and realizing God?s Word was not being followed, Josiah called the people together, read the Book of the Covenant to them and led them in a renewal of the covenant, pledging to follow the Lord and keep His command. The People Go Into Exile 2 Chronicles 36:15-21; Psalm 137:1-6 The nation of Judah continued to reject the message of the prophets and rebelled against God. Though God gave them many opportunities to turn from their evil ways and honor the covenant, they didn?t and continued to do evil. God allowed the Babylonian empire to conquer Judah and take the people into exile. God Offers Return and Restoration 2 Chronicles 36:22-23; Ezra 1:5-7 After years in captivity, God used King Cyrus of Persia (in fulfillment of Jeremiah?s prophecy) to return the exiles to Judah . The Lord moved Cyrus? heart to issue a proclamation that the temple was to be rebuilt and those exiles who wanted to return to Judah and participate in the rebuilding could. They were being given a chance to go home and start again and show faith in God?s promise to restore them as people. Not all exiles went, however, only ?those whose heart God had moved.?

Beckles, Jr. I'm an Elementary School Teacher, black belt martial artist, and an ordained Minister. I've taught for Public and Private Schools for over ten years. I'm the father of two children, a six year old son, and a baby girl. I've been a Youth Minister, Assistant Pastor, and Pastor of a Christian Non-Denominational Church. My goal as a writer, and author of this book, is to educate children about the Bible, and to simplify learning Christianity, making it fun, and rewarding. To illustrate and point out moral, ethical, values that are fundamental lessons, inspired by God in the Holy Bible. Reading interpretations of the scriptures can be the best way of stimulating your child, or student, to value education, learn moral values, and refrain from criminal activity, and grow up to become productive citizens. I hope that you will enjoy my book. Thank you.... http://vantagepress.angelfire.com/author/ JONAH AND THE BIG FISH The story of Jonah and the Big Fish, is a message from God to us about the importance of obedience, like when you disobey your parents, you are upsetting God, and committing a sin. God wants children to love, honor, and respect Him, and your elders. One day, many centuries ago God chose a man named Jonah, who was a Prophet (someone that God speaks to, to preach, or give messages to his people to help them, and predicts the future). God told Jonah, to go to a great city named Nineveh , and preach to them about turning away from wickedness, and doing bad things, or God would destroy the city. Jonah was a man of the Lord, the reason God chose him to be a prophet, was to set a positive example to people, to do the right things like: being honest, to love each other, and help people. But we will learn in this particular Bible story, about a man; who was supposed to the right thing, by listening to God and helping people, but chose not to do it, so God lets some bad things happen to him to show him how important obedience is, instead of punishing the people of Nineveh. So let?s see how our lesson begins. When Jonah had heard what God had told him to do. Instead of going to Nineveh to preach, and warn the people, he got up and fled from the presence of the Lord, to a city named Tar shish, now before he arrived there, he stopped at a town, named Joppa; and found a ship going to Tar shish, so he paid the fare to get aboard the ship, and sailed with the crew of the ship. Jonah didn't want to do what God told him, because he hated the people of Nineveh , and knew that if he spoke to them about God?s wrath, and turning away from evil, that they would be destroyed. And he thought that by ignoring God, he could let his enemies perish, rather than be saved.. Don't you agree, that was a terrible thing to do? But the Lord, soon sent out a great wind into the deep blue sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, the disturbance in the sea was so catastrophic, the crew of the ship were in trouble, and the ship was about to be destroyed. Then the sailors were afraid, and every man starts to worship other gods, and they threw out stuff that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the ship. But the trouble would not stop, and while all the commotion was going on, Jonah was downstairs to the side of the ship, fast asleep! So the shipmaster came to him, and said "What are you doing sleeping, while my ship and crew are about to perish? Get up, and call upon your God, so that he might spare us!" Then the crew said to him, "Please tell us, who among us, has caused all this trouble upon us; what your occupation is? Where do you come from? What country are you from? And who are your people? Jonah answered them, and said "I am Hebrew (or Jewish); and I am a man of the Lord, I fear and worship only one God, the only true and living God of Heaven, who made the sea and the dry land. When the men heard this, they became exceedingly afraid, and said to Jonah "Why have you done this to us, why have you abandoned the Lord, and disobeyed His orders to you? Then they said to him, "what are we going to do with you, and how can we make things right with God, and calm the sea? Because the sea was wild, and raging uncontrollably. Jonah said to them, "Take me up, and throw me overboard into the sea; so the sea will calm down, because I know that it is the Lord that is disrupting the sea!" Nevertheless, the men did not want to throw Jonah overboard, so they rowed hard to try to bring it to the land; but they failed, for the sea remain tempestuous, and raging against the ship. So the men cried to the Lord for help, and said "We beg you Oh Lord; God please do not let us suffer or die for, this man's disobedience, and we do not want to be punished for throwing him into the sea, because we are innocent of his crime, please spare us, and our ship, for You alone are mighty enough to calm the sea!" Then they took up Jonah, and tossed him overboard into the sea, and the sea suddenly became calm once more. After that, the men saw the miracle of God, and believed in Him, realizing that Jonah's God was the only one true living God of the entire world. The men began to worship God, and offered sacrifices unto the Lord, and made vows to serve Him forever. Now once Jonah was in the sea, the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow him up. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Later Jonah prayed unto the Lord, to forgive him and to release him, out of the belly of the fish. And he said, "Lord please forgive me for disobeying you, and hear my prayers, for You have cast me into the deep sea, in the midst of the seas; and the floods of the waves are all around me, and You have punished me for my sin against You, by delivering me into the belly of a whale, out of your sight; yet I will repent of my transgression, and beg for Your forgiveness...." Jonah was very much afraid, because he was inside the belly of a big fish that was living and swimming at the bottom of the sea! Wouldn't you be scared and wonder if God would save you, and forgive you, for disobeying Him? Even though, everything seemed very bad for Jonah, he never gave up hope in the Lord, he believed that God would forgive him, and have mercy, because He is a really good God. So Jonah kept praying, and thanking the Lord for saving him from being drowned, or eaten by the fish, so God finally heard his prayers, and spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out of its mouth, and into dry land. And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying "get up and go to the great city of Nineveh , and preach to the people, to repent, and turn from their wicked ways. This time, Jonah listened. And went to Nineveh . Nineveh was a great city, and it was a three days journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city in a day's journey. Finally, Jonah preached God's message to the people of Nineveh , "In forty days, Nineveh , shall be overthrown." So the people of Nineveh feared the Lord and believed in Him. And the city proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from rich to the poor of the people, because word came from the king of Nineveh , and from his throne, he repented from evil ways. And he proclaimed and published throughout the city, that Nineveh by decree of the king and his nobles, saying "Let no one, neither man or animal, taste or drink anything, but let everyman beg forgiveness from God, and turn away from evil, and doing bad things. So that God might forgive us of our sins, and spare the city from destruction." And the people, was heartily sorry for what they have done, and obeyed their king, and repented of their crimes against God. So the Lord saw their works, and that they turned away from doing bad things, and God decided to spare the city of Nineveh . What do you think about that! See how merciful and forgiving God can be? But Jonah, was a stubborn man, and was very unhappy with what God did for the people of Nineveh . And Jonah prayed to God, reminding Him of all the evil things, the people of Nineveh have done in the past, hurting his people, and offending him. And letting God know about his bitterness, toward the Nineties, and how angry he was for the Lord saving his enemies. What Jonah didn't understand, is that God loves all people, no matter who they are, and he loves you too. God doesn't desire anyone disobey Him, do bad things, or perish. He wants our love, our worship, faith, and to forgive others, who hurt us, as he has forgiven us. That's why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He was resurrected from the grave to give us everlasting life (John 3:16). Isn't the Lord a wonderful God to serve? Are you happy God is not like man, His love, understanding, compassion, and mercy are limitless! God later explains this to Jonah, and makes him understand that saving souls, and sparing people's lives, is the main purpose of His ministry, and that Jonah was no better than the people of Nineveh ! All people, past and present have come short in honoring God. Nobody is perfect, and we all deserve forgiveness. Obedience, love, and forgiveness, is the most important things that we can do to honor God, and we must examine the way we treat people, especially our enemies, because the Lord loves us all, and wants all of us to serve Him well. He desires all boys and girls to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and receive everlasting life. So remember to obey God, and your parents, and love one another, and always strive to do what is right, and do good things in the sight of the Lord, not bad things. And God will forgive you, and always be there for you too. Rev. Dr. Franklyn V.

Under the leadership of J. B. Fuqua, Steve Manderson located African-American gospel groups to appear on the program, and also hosted the program. At that time each group had its sponsors to pay for their time on the air. This allowed many businesses that normally could not get on television, an opportunity to advertise their products and services. Also, with its vast viewing audience, many businesses found the program to be an excellent vehicle to reach the African American community. Originally, this Sunday morning program was on for two and one-half hours. Some of the original groups to appear included the Abraham Brothers, Swanee Quintet, Veteran Harmonizers, Gospel Echo Soul Stirrers, and others. The groups would sing, talk about their sponsor and then tell the benefits for churches and groups to raise money for needed projects. Upon the retirement of Steve Manderson, Henry L. Howard became the program's host and producer. Howard was the lead singer and manager of "The Spirits of Harmony," a singing group that was a regular on the Parade of Quartets. This was a natural transition and worked well for the program. Howard's improvements included adding the morning's prayer and becoming more aggressive in promoting minority businesses and gospel music in general. He saw the need to bring in a community service segment with guests coming in to be interviewed. This particular segment was called 'Past, Present, Future.' In the early 1980's, Howard brought his son Karlton Howard on as co-host during a family crisis. Since that time, Karlton Howard has become host and producer. This gave Howard more time for his political career as county commissioner and state representative. Mr. Howard brought in the idea of offering the Sunday school lesson weekly. Several co-hosts have been able to assist with the program. They include Valerie Howard, Mary Adams, Pam Parris, Roberta Stephens, Betty Griffin, Alicia B. Martin, Marco Brooks, Judy Jones Frank Brown. The list of national recording artist appearing or performing on the program includes, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Shirley Caesar, Aiken Academy Principal- Franklyn V. Beckles, Sr., Williams Brothers, Slim and the Supreme Angels, Willie Neal and the Gospel Keynotes, Violinaires, Dorothy Norwood, Christianaires, Tommy Ellison, Donnie Harper, Jackson Southernaires, CBS Trumperteers, F.C. Barnes, Luther Barnes, Sunset Jubilaires, Troy Ramey, James Brown, Joe Simon, Rev. Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr., his son- Christian Beckles, and The Songbirds, Dixie Hummingbirds, Willie Banks, Jaylen Beckles (the second son of Dr. Beckles, Jr.), and Julius Cheeks, Clarence Fountain and Al Green. Many national, state and local political leaders have made their way to the stage of the Parade of Quartets. Jesse Jackson appeared live one Sunday morning before announcing his candidacy for president of the United States of America. Georgia Governor Roy Barnes and state Senator Charles Walker are among those who have appeared. The nine o'clock morning hour in the Augusta area has long been blessed by the Parade of Quartets. The program is thought to be the longest continuous running program in the United States. God Answers Samuel?s Prayer 1 Samuel 7:3-13 The Israelites were afraid they would be attacked by the Philistines. Samuel urged them to turn away from their idols and truly return to the Lord by obeying, serving, and worshiping Him. If they did, God promised to deliver them. As the Philistines approached, the Israelites asked Samuel to pray for them. Samuel prayed to God on the Israelites? behalf and God saved them. God Covenants with David 2 Samuel 7:8-17 King David wanted to build the temple and discussed this with the prophet Nathan. At first Nathan encouraged David to proceed, but after receiving work from the Lord, he told David God did not want him to do so. David was reminded of how God brought him to the throne. Nathan revealed God?s promise to establish David and continue his house forever?a promise fulfilled through Jesus Christ. God Grants Wisdom to Solomon 1 Kings 3:3-14 King Solomon went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices to the Lord. While there, God appeared to Solomon in a dream and asked him what he wanted. After recalling God?s faithfulness to his father, David, Solomon asked God to give him the wisdom to carry out his job. God was pleased with Solomon and granted his request. God promised Solomon unparalleled wisdom along with riches, honor, and the potential for long life, if he continued to follow and obey the Lord. Elijah Triumphs with God 1 Kings 18:20-24, 30-35, 38-39 Elijah wanted the Israelites to take a stand and decide whom they were going to follow?the one true God, or the Baal idols they were worshiping. The prophet issued a challenge to prove to King Ahab and the people who, alone, was God. When it was Elijah?s turn, he wet the altar, cried out to God, who responded by fire, proving He is God. Josiah Brings Reform 2 Kings 22:8-10; 23:1-3, 21-23 During the repair of the temple, the Book of the Covenant was found and brought to King Josiah. Upon reading it and realizing God?s Word was not being followed, Josiah called the people together, read the Book of the Covenant to them and led them in a renewal of the covenant, pledging to follow the Lord and keep His command. The People Go Into Exile 2 Chronicles 36:15-21; Psalm 137:1-6 The nation of Judah continued to reject the message of the prophets and rebelled against God. Though God gave them many opportunities to turn from their evil ways and honor the covenant, they didn?t and continued to do evil. God allowed the Babylonian empire to conquer Judah and take the people into exile. God Offers Return and Restoration 2 Chronicles 36:22-23; Ezra 1:5-7 After years in captivity, God used King Cyrus of Persia (in fulfillment of Jeremiah?s prophecy) to return the exiles to Judah . The Lord moved Cyrus? heart to issue a proclamation that the temple was to be rebuilt and those exiles who wanted to return to Judah and participate in the rebuilding could. They were being given a chance to go home and start again and show faith in God?s promise to restore them as people. Not all exiles went, however, only ?those whose heart God had moved.?

Augusta, GA 30906 Director/Principal: Rev. Dr. Franklyn Victor Beckles, Jr. Manger: Mrs. Adrian Beckles Est. in 2009 MISSION STATEMENT The Sons for Christ Church of God Ministries, is a private nonprofit Christian organization which operates The Children?s Christian Learning Center . The daycare program provides quality childcare services, for preschool children, working & busy families, staff, and the people of Richmond and Columbia Counties . VISION STATEMENT The Children?s Christian Learning Center , will be an faith-based Ministry & Christian Academy , whose efforts and quality of childcare, bible study, and education will continue to improve while achieving excellence, and serving every eligible child and family, who desires fair, honest, and moral statues to fulfill their child?s educational needs. Director?s Background/Birth of The Children?s Christian Center : Dr. Beckles, Jr., and father, Mr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Sr. Both established the first African-American Private School in Aiken, SC. That took in, and educated students from South Carolina to Georgia , who were kick out of public schools, because of racism or behavior problems. They became so successful, that they graduated in nine years, over 567, 000 High School Students, and helped place them in jobs, and colleges; no one in the C.S.R.A (the Central Savannah Regional Area/Georgia-Carolina) thought that they would accomplish. Mr. Beckles, Sr., had long since retired in 2003, but his son has, despite all odds and opposition; carried on the legacy of C.A. I Academy. He relocated, to Augusta GA. Where the school & college drop out rate are doubled! And he re-established a new private school, to educate, and take care of the children of single mothers, and working women, who desperately need a daycare system, that fits their busy work schedules. Dr. Beckles, Jr., has been respectfully teaching and educating children in need, since 1991. And is a renown Public & Private School Teacher, he is an ordained Minister, and Pastor of a small family church, and he has a Doctorate Degree in Theology. THE CHILDREN?S CHRISTIAN CENTER THE PLACE WHERE CHILDREN AND PARENTS CAN FIND PEACE AND LOVE IN A CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE CHILDREN CHRISTIAN CENTER The Children Christian Center, assists in helping children to acquire a strong foundation in the knowledge and skills needed for school success. We believe an effective christian, preschool environment is a place where children feel well cared for and safe. Our preschool is a place where children are valued as individuals and where their need for attention, approval, and affection are supported. In this environment, children can discover bible-based principles about God, the world that surrounds them, and develop the capacity to connect with others. We want you to feel that you are a part of your child's life here and to understand more about what we do every day. In our program, we incorporate The Children Christian Center's Curriculum for Preschool. The philosophy is that children should be allowed to grow at their own pace and to learn in ways that help them become confident in themselves as learners. Our curriculum has two goals: To help children learn about themselves and the world around them, and with Chapel service; have a better understanding of Christian & moral values! To encourage children to feel good about themselves and capable as learners. Our Preschool classroom has been arranged to make it a safe place for children to explore and to learn. Children's toys and materials are placed on low shelves and in low, easy-to-open drawers. This makes it easy for children to select the items that they enjoy. It also helps them learn how to make choices and be independent. All children have a place to keep their personal belongings such as coats, blankets, and school work to bring home. This lets them know they are a valued part of our classroom community. - Click here to visit our Classroom - The Children Christian Center 3725 Old McDuffie Rd. Augusta, GA 30906 When you visit, you will notice that we have a schedule that we follow. This lets the children know what comes when. It also helps them feel secure when they know that every day the teacher will read to them before naptime or that after snack we go outside. The schedule also allows for the times when we all do things together, such as Circle Time and Story Time, and times when the children are doing things on their own, such as coloring or writing and playing in the Learning Centers. - Click here to view our Daily Schedule - We plan many activities for the children to assist in the development of these goals. We build with blocks, dress up and make-believe, put puzzles together, read books, tell stories, play with sand and water, draw and paint, cook, dance to music, and play outdoors, and bible study. All of these activities are aimed at helping the children to do things on their own and to be curious and interested in God, and all that's going on around them. We talk with them, ask questions, and answer their questions to help them learn new words and to express their ideas and feelings. Our Preschool/Daycare/Church also provides Parent's Night Out (PNO), Monthly Updates, "Bible Story" Clubs, Rhythm & Rhyme Time Music Lessons, "Our Daily Bread" Lessons, Regularly Scheduled Library days, Field Trips, Chapel, Martial Arts (all programs facilitated with prior-approval from Parents/Consent Forms), and Nutritious Meals & Snacks to enhance the preschool curriculum we offer to your child. For your Child's safety & educational development, our school provides the best security mearsures, and a qualified/childcare certified staff... : Sons for Christ Church of God : Curriculum : Daycare Openings : Tuition : VIRTUAL TOUR : Enrollment Procedures : : Preschool Classes : Center Policies : Newsletters : Location : Site Map : Contact Me@ www.beckles.org or frankbeckles@rocketmail.com http://sonsforchristchurch.shutterfly.com www.myspace.com/sonsforchrist CONSTANTLY PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE: (EXPANDING OUR INSTITUTION) WWW.MYSPACE.COM/CHILDRENLEARNINGCENTER WWW.MYSPACE.COM/PASTORBECKLES options Pictures 2009-04-15 (42) -Actions | View album options Pictures Add album 2009-05-07 (40) - Actions | View album | View photo book Add pictures|Order prints|Save picturesSee all 40 pictures options Family updates THIS WEBSITE is dedicated to the son of Rev.
