Tonight's family reading · Bahir Dar
The Boy Who Shared His Lunch — a 5-minute devotion for Bahir Dar families
John 6:1-14 · Small offerings in God's hands
A crowd of five thousand people had nothing to eat, and one boy had five small loaves and two fish. He handed over everything he had. Jesus gave thanks, broke the bread, and there was enough for everyone — with twelve baskets left over.
Use this one on the Bahir Dar weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read John 6:1-14, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
Memory verse
“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”John 6:9
Table question
What is one small thing you could share this week, even if it feels too small to matter?
30-second prayer
Jesus, what we have feels small. Take it anyway, bless it, and use it to feed someone who is hungry today. Amen.
Make it stick: pick one person in Bahir Dar — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. Small offerings in God's hands only counts once it costs something.
Tomorrow: Jesus walks on the water (John 6:16-21). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
