Introducing the Story Ideas
1. Ask the children how they would feel if they had sores all over their bodies.
2. Explain what it means to be contagious and have to live in isolation.
 
READ 2 Kings 5:1-27 or tell the story of Naaman and Elisha. 
EMPHASIZE that:
  • God can use us regardless of how little we may be.
  • We should tell people where they can find help.
  • God can use bad things for good purposes.
  • We must obey God in the simple things.
  • Only God can heal us and make us clean.
