Join here: GIGI KIDS STORY CLUB _________________________________________________________________________ Today's story you can find in the Bible and it's about the prophet Jeremiah. You can find his story in Jeremiah 38. Jeremiah's heart pounded in his chest. He had just delivered God’s message to the people, warning them to turn back to the Lord or face destruction. But the people didn’t want to hear it. The rulers of the city, feeling threatened by his words, decided they had heard enough of Jeremiah’s warnings. "We can't let him keep speaking like this," one of the officials said angrily. “He needs to be silenced!" So they captured him – they wanted him gone! The officials grabbed him roughly and they dragged him toward an old, dark pit in the courtyard, used long ago to store water but now filled with only mud at the bottom. The pit loomed before him, deep and dark, and Jeremiah could feel fear rising inside him. What happens next? Tune in to find out. _________________________________________________________________________________ DON'T FORGET THAT OUR SUBSCRIPTION IS OPEN THIS MONTH!

Poppy and Esther are on an amazing train ride on their way to an adventure - join them as Esther tells the story of a boy who steals a toy train! Will he get caught? Jack took a deep breath. It was now or never. He grabbed his backpack, ran into Leo’s room, and stuffed the train and the tracks into his backpack as quick as he could. Struggling with his now very heavy backpack, Jack closed Leo’s door again and hustled down the steps. Leo was already buckled into the car and Dad was waiting outside to strap Jack in. Taking Jack’s backpack, Dad looked surprise. “Whoa! What are you taking to school today, buddy? Rocks?” he joked. Jack laughed, but it sounded forced, even to him. The whole time he was thinking, Please don’t open the backpack, please don’t open the backpack.... What happens next? Tune in to find out. _________________________________________________________________________________ Story by: Maritza Brunt Website: https://www.gigistorylibrary.com.au/ VISIT OUR WEBSITE SHOP OUR BOOKS Shop our audiobooks Special effect editing: James Wagner music credit: http://www.purple-planet.com/ Email us: stories4gigi@gmail.com Write to us: GIGI KIDS STORIES PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt Queensland Australia 4122

Welcome to a new year of stories - we are so excited to share these with you. Today's story is based on a true story and you need to listen right to the end to find out what happens. As they approached the dreaded area, the father’s voice broke the tension. "Now we say Psalm 91 so God can protect us," he said, his eyes scanning the dark path ahead. Without hesitation, each child silently recited the psalm in their hearts, just as their parents had taught them. The night seemed to grow darker as they stepped deeper into the thick, shadowy trees and overgrown bushes. Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the loud rattling of metal. Out of nowhere, an old police car, rusted and creaky, came zooming up behind them, its headlights flickering as it approached. The family watched in shock as the car sped past them, only to screech to a stop near a large, twisted tree just ahead—the very tree they were about to walk under. But what happens next? Get ready to listen to this true story! _____________________________________________________________________________________ Story by: Esther Willow & the runaway horse audiobook Website: https://www.gigistorylibrary.com.au/ Read story on the blog SHOP OUR BOOKS Special effect editing: James Wagner music credit: http://www.purple-planet.com/ Email us: stories4gigi@gmail.com Write to us: GIGI KIDS STORIES PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt Queensland Australia 4122

Abraham said, “Here I am, Lord.” “Take your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Build an altar there and offer Isaac on it as a burnt sacrifice to Me.” Abraham could not believe his ears. Abraham had waited many years for this promised child. He did not understand why God now wanted him to sacrifice his precious son. But Abraham had learnt to obey God’s commandments, and so he got out of bed and walked over to where Isaac lay asleep. Abraham wept as he looked at his son. They would not have very much time left to spend together. Abraham dried his tears as best he could, then shook Isaac. Isaac opened his eyes sleepily.

Have you ever felt sad because your skin is a different colour from your friends? The truth was, Noah would LOVE to wear sunscreen. Every morning when he woke up, he would stand at the bathroom mirror searching for a freckle, any sized freckle, so he could look like Shaun. Noah hated his dark skin. He hated being the only kid on his street with dark skin. He just wanted to be like the other kids. After he and Shaun had played some more, Noah slowly made his way back to his house. His mum looked up from the stove as he dragged himself inside. “Are you excited for the first day of school tomorrow?” she asked him. “No,” sighed Noah, dropping down onto a stool. “Mum, why doesn’t anybody else at school look like me?” “There are lots of kids at school with your skin colour, Noah, and lots of other skin colours, too,” said Mum. “None in my class,” said Noah, sadly. “I’m the only one with such dark skin. I don’t like it, Mum. I wish my skin was lighter. I wish I had skin like Shaun’s!” Do you want to know what happens next? You can find out by listening to the whole story - it's a great one!

MARTHA!” she screamed for her sister. Martha came running. She took one look at Lazarus and began to give orders. “Mary, you’ll need to get a basin and fill it with water. Some clean cloths, and some herbs. And quickly!” She began to air out the room and gently moved Lazarus onto his side. Mary stayed in the doorway, worried for her brother.

Get ready to have an adventure with Stompy! While Lola was busy playing with the baby chicks and the hens, Stompy sneaked away and headed to Cecil’s area. She peeked over the fence and smiled. “Hi Cecil.” She called. But Cecil ignored her. Stompy called again. But Cecil did not budge. Hmm, thought Stompy. Maybe he can’t hear me. Looking around, she found a long stick. She picked it up with her trunk and poked Cecil gently on the side. “Hi Cecil.” She poked her again. This time Cecil turned around and stared directly at Stompy. “Hi?” Stompy called. Cecil lifted his head and ran towards Stompy. Then with great force he kicked the fence where stompy stood and send her whooshing across the ground. To listen to the whole story, find a comfortable chair or cosy corner and enjoy!

Today's story is about David Livingstone - a missionary and explorer who travelled to Africa to tell others about Jesus. The life of David Livingstone begins in the town of Blantyre, Scotland. He was born to devoted Christian parents, and at a very young age David developed a love for the outdoors and exploring. One day David climbed to a very high point of the ruins of an old castle, which was higher than any other boy had ever reached, and he decided to carve his name there. Before David was ten years old, he had memorised the whole of Psalm 119, which is the longest book in the Bible, and he recited it with only five mistakes! David was not brighter than other boys around his age, he was just more determined to learn new things than they were. When he was ten years old, he found work in the cotton mills. There in the factory, David would put his books on the spinning jenny machine, which was an old-fashioned machine people used to help them make cotton for clothes. There he could still be reading and learning even when he was working in the cotton factory. At the age of twenty, David gave his heart to Jesus and became a Christian. One day, a man called Doctor Carey told the people in the churches about missionary work, and David became excited at that idea. His eagerness grew as there was more talk of mission jobs, and eventually he declared, “I want to show how much I love Jesus by devoting my life to His service and becoming a missionary.” Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is found in your Bibles - you can read it in Luke 17:11-19 - Jesus heals 10 lepers. It all started with ten men who were very sick. They had leprosy—a sickness where they had red lumps and bumps on their body. The worst part about leprosy was nobody could touch you, or else they’d get sick, too! So the ten men with leprosy weren’t allowed to live inside their village. They stayed outside, and they must have been pretty sad. But one day, Jesus was walking to Jerusalem when he came across the village where the lepers lived. One of the lepers sprang to his feet when he saw Jesus coming toward them in the distance. “Hey!” he called out to his fellow leper friends. “Look! Is that Jesus?” “It is!” said another leper. “Let’s call out to him!” The lepers were very excited to see Jesus, because they had heard that Jesus healed people. Could Jesus heal them, too? “Jesus!” they called out. “Jesus!” As Jesus came closer, He could see the men with their lumps and bumps. He could see that they were very sick, and His heart filled with care for the lepers. But how many were there? Jesus began to count… one, two, three…eight, nine… ten! Ten lepers! And they were coming closer to him now. The ten lepers suddenly stopped, afraid they were getting too close to Jesus. They didn’t want to make him sick, after all! But they wanted to get better. They wanted to be healed. As they looked at each other, one of them raised his voice and called out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is about a little girl called Elodie who finds out an amazing secret... Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a little girl and her name was Elodie. She lived in a simple village with her father, mother, and baby brother. Elodie’s favourite thing to do was read books, pick flowers in the butterfly meadow, and bake yummy treats with her best friend, Annie. One day, Elodie and Annie were in the kitchen when her father burst through the wooden door. “Elodie!” he puffed, out of breath. “Where’s your mother?” Elodie stared at her father in surprise. He was holding a piece of parchment paper tightly in his hand. “She’s gone to the market,” Elodie told her father. Father spun around and rushed back out the door. “What was that all about?” asked Annie. "I have no idea,” Elodie answered her friend. “I guess I’ll find out later.” That evening, the family was eating dinner when Father stood up. “I have something to share,” he said, smiling at Elodie and at Mother, who was feeding the baby in the rocking chair. Elodie sat up straighter and listened carefully. She didn’t want to miss what Father said! Father held up the parchment paper he’d come home with earlier. “This piece of paper says something very special,” began Father. “But I need to explain something first. Elodie, you are a princess.” Elodie was stunned. She replayed the words in her mind. “A princess? Me? How is that possible?” she asked Father...... Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is found in the book of Genesis 11:1-9. All about the greatest tower in the world back in bible times: The tower of Babel. Jambo! Bonjour! Konnichiwa! We’re saying hello in different languages. What language do you speak? If you’re listening to this story, you are hearing it in English. Some of you can speak other languages, like Mandarin, or Spanish, or maybe even Arabic! Well, this story is about a group of people who could all speak only one language—but it wasn’t a good thing! Let’s find out why… After the big flood that covered the whole earth, God told everyone on board to spread out all over the world. The animals got off the ark and went to find new homes, in the mountains, the lakes, the forests and the deserts. Noah and his family got off the ark too, and as the years went by, the family grew and grew until there were lots of people living on the earth once again. But they didn’t adventure across the earth. They all stayed together. This wasn’t what God had told them to do. One day, this big group of people decided to find a new home. They moved all their things into a big desert area, and made lots of bricks to use for homes. But then, someone had an idea. “Hey, everyone!” said a person. “Why don’t we build a city with a tower?” The people liked this.....
