In this lesson the children were taught about God's help. The story about Corrie ten Boom was shared to them. This occurred at the time of World War II when Adolf Hitler who was then the military leader of Germany was aimed in killing all Jews. Corrie and her family were from Holland they know that what was being done was wrong, so they hid the Jews because they know that God will always help them.

Corrie's family was eventually arrested for helping the Jews. Corrie's father died 10 days after, Corrie and her sister (Betsie), was taken to prison in Germany. They ate a small meal per day and they were often beaten by the guards.

Even if this happened to them, they believed that God will always help them. They prayed, read the Bible, and even sang songs. But her sister got sick and eventually died, still she hold on to the truth that someday she will be free.

She did get released from prison, Corrie gave her Bible to someone and shared the truth that God would always help them. Corrie also learned to forgive the guards, even when she saw one of the guards again.

Corrie ten Boom started helping other prisoners who were released from the prison. She was also able to speak in a number of countries including the Philippines. Corrie wrote many books and her story was also made into film several times.
