Mark 16:15 Jesus said to his followers, “Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone.
A pair of elementary school children used the Bible to get a bully to change his ways.
Phoenix Walywyn, 8, and her brother Kingston, 7, were being bullied on their school bus and were becoming very angry because of the constant taunting and harassment. Phoenix says that the bully would call them names and try to make them get drawn into physical confrontations.
“It made me feel like I wanted to yell at him,” Phoenix Walwyn said.
“I wanted to say (something) back to him,” Kingston Walwyn said.
The children’s parents met with school administrators and things stopped for a few weeks before the bully began again with name calling.
The children’s father Vaughaligan is the pastor of CT Legacy Church in Pasadena. He said that he was about to confront the bully on his own because the school’s action was not enough to make the child stop harassing his children. Then, as he was praying for God to give him a solution, an idea flashed into his head.
“God said, ‘You know what? Let’s get this kid a Bible. Tell him Jesus loves him and invite him to church and see what happens.’”, Pastor Walywyn said.
The children gave the bully a Bible and within minutes the bully came over and apologized for everything that he had done to them. The bully hadn’t harassed the children in any way since they gave him the Bible.
