Ly Huy's Escape

From SPARK

One-sentence summary

This is a flipchart story of two Vietnamese children who are helped out of desperate circumstances.

Description

This flipchart story has five chapters of script along with its twenty-four pages of pictures.

It is a story of two children taken from their home by soldiers who are fighting in their country. The father is shot, and the mother is taken by the soldiers.

Ten-year-old Ly Huy cares for his small sister through many difficulties. They walk on foot to a large city where they are found by two Christian women. One of the women is foreign, but the other is Vietnamese. These women have a Christian children's home.

While living in the home, both of the children become followers of Jesus, and no longer worship Buddha. Ly Huy must make a difficult decision. He agrees to send his little sister to a foreign land to be cared for. Later he goes to this foreign land to live.

At the airport, Ly Huy is re-united with his birth mother. They fly to another country far away. When they arrive, they are met by the little sister and the woman who has cared for her.

• Chapter one has five pictures.
• Chapter two has six pictures.
• Chapter three has four pictures.
• Chapter four has three pictures.
• Chapter five has four pictures.

All pictures are colored. Each one is 8 1/2” X 11”. This makes them large enough to be seen by a group of children.

Considerations

• The script has a pronunciation guide for Vietnamese names.
• Words and music are included for a lullaby that Ly Huy sings to his sister.
• Each chapter begins with review questions.
• A take-home paper may be duplicated and sent home with the children. This will help them remember the story. It will help them to make a decision to follow Jesus.

Limitations

• The colors are rather dark.
• Some pictures show parts of people and dream bubbles. This will be confusing to children who are not picture literate.
