12. What was Nick's clue to the story?

14. A long time ago there were a group of men being very cruel to God’s people. In fact, God’s people hid in caves to escape their mean ways.

15. One day a man named Gideon was making wheat when an angel told him that he was the one that would help God’s people.

16. Gideon wanted to know if God's power would really be with him. So he set out his fleece and prayed. If you are powerful,when I wake up in the morning you will have made my fleece wet but nothing else. =

18. Gideon still wanted to know if God's power would really be with him. So again he set out his fleece and prayed. If you are powerful,when I wake you will have made everything wet but my fleece will be dry.

19. Gideon knew God was powerful. He did as God said and gathered together his men.

20. Gideon took very few men but asked them to blow their trumpets, wave their burning torches and crack their pots and the men who had been mean to them all ran away scared.

22. Gideon was a superhero for God.

23. You are Gideon's men. Go and find what you need in the church. You are looking for a pot and a trumpet and when you return I will give you a flag.
