A very simple retelling of Genesis 18, like a story for a young child.
This page uses a simplified retelling instead of reproducing the whole Bible chapter word-for-word.
Memory line: Welcome people. Trust God. Care about others. Ask for what is right.

Why did Sarah laugh?
Abraham keeps asking because he cares about people and wants justice.
Nothing is too hard for the Lord.
Use only these pictures and try to tell the story aloud.
Visitors โ food โ baby promise โ Sarah laughs โ Abraham asks for justice.
