‘Open the Book’.  told the story of Gideon and his army of three hundred men. The children really enjoyed the assembly and it was definitely one to remember as the noisiest!

 ​Judges 7:9

“Get up, go down against the camp, because I am going to give it into your hands”.

God chose just an ordinary man named Gideon to lead the Israelite army to victory over the Midianites. God wanted Gideon to fight with a very small army, so the Israelite's would know that God, not they, had won the battle. Gideon trusted God and went to battle with only three hundred men. To Gideon and his army’s surprise, they had an astounding victory over their enemy!

This Bible story teaches us that God chooses ordinary people to do great things and that following God’s instructions is always best. When God is fighting on our side, we can be sure we will win.
