Helen was born in 1877 and grew up in Birmingham, England. And she was born into God’s family when she
was twelve years old. She started a club
at school to encourage others to be more fervent Christians. Her Bible was too bulky to carry onto the
playground, so she devised a little pocket sown into her dress for a small New
Testament. This began the Pocket
Testament League. Helen made commitment
cards for each of her 60 club members.
They each promised to read a passage in the Bible each day, pray each
day, and tell someone else about salvation in Jesus Christ each day. What a wonderful idea for a twelve-year-old
girl! Her father, Charles Cadbury, was
famous for Cadbury Chocolates. Paul said
in I Thessalonians 5:11, “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one
another, even as also ye do.” Have you
been edified by Helen Cadbury’s story today?
Then why not do something yourself to point others to Christ today?!
