The story

Jono's much-loved bike has finally reached the end of the road. Fortunately, he has worked hard and saved enough money to buy another one.

Then he discovers that Kade has a much bigger problem.

The school excursion is approaching, but Kade's grandfather cannot afford to send him. Although Kade pretends he doesn't care, Jono realises how disappointed he really is.

At home, Jono and his dad read one of the most challenging stories in Abraham's life. God asks Abraham to take his beloved son Isaac to Mount Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice.

Jono is horrified. How can this possibly fit with a loving God and His promise that the Rescue Plan will continue through Isaac?

The answer is found in Abraham's extraordinary faith: he trusts that God will provide.

At the crucial moment, Isaac is spared and a ram is provided as the sacrifice.

The story challenges Jono to consider what trusting God might look like in his own life. He makes an extraordinary decision: instead of buying his new bike, he will anonymously use his savings to pay for Kade's excursion.

Then, in an unexpected turn, Allie discovers Jono needs a bike and offers him a brand-new one her family no longer needs.

Jono learns firsthand that providing for others sometimes requires sacrifice, and that God's provision can arrive in ways we never expect.

Jono faces the disappointment of his broken bike but is comforted by plans to buy a new one with his hard-earned savings. At school, excitement builds for an upcoming excursion, except for Kade, who quietly hides his disappointment due to financial hardship. Meanwhile, Jono learns about Abraham’s great test of faith, being asked to sacrifice Isaac, and how God provided at the last moment. Inspired by God’s provision and compassion, Jono chooses to use his bike savings to anonymously pay for Kade’s excursion. Later, through a chain of events, God blesses Jono with a brand-new bike, demonstrating that when we put God first and care for others, He provides abundantly.
