Car Ride Stories for GIGI Kids: Bible and Christian Stories for Kids

Hey GIGI kids, Today we have an amazing Bible story for you called “Elisha and the Invisible Army.” You can find this story in your Bible in 2 Kings 6:8-23.   Night passed without a sound. But very early in the morning, Elisha’s servant got up and went outside—and got the fright of his life. There were soldiers and horses and chariots everywhere!  “Elisha!” gasped the servant, running back inside. “Come, look!” Elisha calmly went to look at the troops surrounding the city. He didn’t seem upset at all! “Oh, Master, what will we do now?” the young servant cried. Elisha turned to his servant. “Don’t be afraid,” he told his servant. “There are many more on our side than on the side of the Arameans.” Then Elisha prayed. Dear God, open the eyes of my servant and let him see. And God opened the eyes of the servant—can you guess what he saw?   What happened next?

“It’s getting dark,” said Kate, looking up at the sky. “It’ll be night soon. Should we try to come back the way we came?” “I don’t think so,” said Naomi. “We might somehow end up deeper in the forest. I think we’d better just sit here and hope someone comes to look for us.” The girls slowly moved over to the tree stump and dropped their pinecones and berries. The castle didn’t seem so important anymore. Suddenly, there was a snap of twigs ahead of them. “What-what was that?” Kate stammered. “I don’t know,” Naomi whispered. Now, her heart was beating really fast. Oh, why didn’t I listen to Sophie and my parents? She thought. Now we’re lost in the forest, and something might be coming to eat us for dinner! “I’m scared,” Kate said, tears beginning to fill her eyes.  “Me too,” said Naomi. “We shouldn’t have disobeyed Sophie. All we can do now is pray.” “Let’s do that, please,” Kate begged.  As the sun slowly sank lower over the tree line, the girls bowed their heads and prayed for someone to come and find them, also asking forgiveness for not listening to their parents and leader.....

Today's story is found in Mark 2:1–12 "Jesus heals a paralysed man"                               ________________________________________________ Picking his way carefully across the roof, Caleb stopped where he thought the middle of the house would be. Kneeling down, he began to pull at the tiles of the roof, trying to lift them off. Dirt caked under his fingernails as he dug, and the midday sun was hot against his back. His arm was getting really sore, but he forced himself to keep going, knowing Asher was down below, just waiting for his chance to see…  POP!  A tile lifted up, and Caleb was so surprised it took him a moment to register his thoughts. It worked! He thought to himself gleefully, as he pulled the rest of the tile off the roof. Once the tile had been taken off, through the small square, he could see into the house.  Walking quickly but carefully back to the edge of the roof, Caleb waved his arms to get Levi and Hannah’s attention.....

Today's story is about a rotten apple - but not only a rotten apple but about gossip as well.                               ________________________________________________ Did you hear about Anya?” Ruth looked up from her reading book to see her friend Eliza next to her.  “What did you say?” Ruth asked.  “Shh! Keep your voice down!” Eliza whispered. “I asked if you’d heard about what Anya did.” “No? What happened?” Ruth asked.  “She cheated on the Bible quiz we had before lunch!” Eliza hissed. Ruth was shocked. She didn’t know Anya very well, but she knew Anya was one of the smartest girls in their class, and she was especially good at knowing a lot of things from the Bible. Why would she need to cheat?  “Are you sure?” Ruth asked slowly.  “I’m positive!” Eliza said. “William saw her, and he told Kalia, and she told Max, and he told Amy, and she told me.”  Ruth frowned. That seemed like a very long way of hearing something.  “I just can’t imagine Anya doing something like this,” she said.  Just then, their friend Ella dropped into the seat next to Ruth.  “Can’t imagine what?” she asked.  “Anya cheated on the Bible quiz!” Eliza whispered to her.  “No way!” Ella exclaimed.  “Shhh!” Ruth hushed both of them. “We don’t know that for sure, and I don’t want Anya to hear you talking about her.”  What happens next? Tune in to find out. _________________________________________________________________________________ Story by: Maritza Brunt Read story on the blog 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

Today's story is about Stompy, the little elephant and her exciting fishing trip! But one night there is a storm and Stompy is afraid! Once in the boat, the waves were calm, and Stompy stared in awe and admiration of the vast sea. She had never been so close, surrounded by the endless ocean. As they sailed further, she spotted a few dolphins swimming by and trumpeted with joy. Suddenly, the boat began rocking from side to side. Stompy, Uncle Bob, and Papa Elephant quickly grabbed onto a thick rope with their trunks to keep from being thrown overboard. The rocking grew stronger, and poor Stompy started feeling seasick. She sobbed, scared, and called out for Papa Elephant to help her. Uncle Bob chuckled and said, "Hey, Kiddo, this is normal! I’m used to the rocking of the boat." "But… but…," Stompy tried to speak, but the boat kept swaying, and she couldn’t steady herself. Papa Elephant gently pulled Stompy close and said, "Let me tell you a Bible story, Stompy. Did you know that once, Jesus commanded the sea to be quiet?" "Really?" Stompy replied, wide-eyed. What happens next?

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?

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?

NOTE: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS EPISODE MIGHT SCARE SOME CHILDREN - SKIP IF YOUR LITTLE ONE FEELS AFRAID. 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!

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.

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.

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?

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.....   To listen to the whole story, find a comfortable chair or cosy corner and enjoy!
