Today's story is about Noah and how unhappy he is with his skin colour. 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!”

JOIN THE SUBSCRIPTION - Our GIGI kids' story club subscription is open! Join today https://gigistoryclub.supercast.com/
Today's story can be found in your Bibles in John 11. This is the story of Jesus' friend Lazarus and his resurrection.
Lazarus was so sick he couldn’t even talk. All he could do was cough weakly.
Mary ran to the doorway.
“Martha! 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. But then she remembered something!
“Martha, we need to ask Jesus to come! He’ll know what to do!”
“You’re right,” Martha agreed. “Send a message to him now!”

Today's story is about Stompy, the little elephant - she's at her grandparents' farm on holidays and is curious about Cecil the Ostrich. But Cecil gets upset at Stompy and chases her! 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.

12 August 2024, 7:13 am - 10 minutes 7 secondsDavid Livingstone: A Brave Missionary and Explorer
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.”

4 August 2024, 10:20 pm - 10 minutes 24 secondsJesus heals 10 lepers
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!”

8 July 2024, 5:17 am - 15 minutes 42 secondsElodie and the Glass Castle
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......

3 June 2024, 2:24 am - 11 minutes 5 secondsThe tallest tower in the world: The tower of Babel
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.....

22 April 2024, 12:52 am - 10 minutes 2 secondsUnder the sea with Splash the little seahorse
Today’s story is about a little seahorse that feels sad because he isn't like anyone else. He wants to be a turtle, an octopus or a Manta Ray and does not embrace who God made him to be.
Below the waters of the deep blue Sea, lived Splash, a tiny seahorse. Early one morning, Splash glanced up to the waters above. It looked so pretty with the rays of the sun splashing and creating a rainbow of light below. He loved his home, but lately he had been a little unhappy.
Hidden in the seagrass beds, he admired Ophelia, the octopus, one creature of the deep. He sighed. His heart felt sad. Why did he have to be so small? How he wished to be strong like Ophelia with her eight groovy arms, which she used to move rocks to build her den.
