 It only takes five loaves of bread, two fish, one cat, and a kind stranger to make a miracle.
 

In The Hungry Kitten’s Tale, follow along with Kit, a hungry kitten looking for some yummy supper, as he goes on an adventure and finds a chance to make friends and be generous. Based on the miracle of the loaves and the fishes by the Sea of Galilee, this story allows children and adults alike to go deeper into Bible history and scripture. Enjoy scripture as it comes to life, imagine historical Bethsaida by the Sea of Galilee, and pay special attention to the cats, fisherman, and visitors in this seaside village – including a mysterious visitor named Jesus.

​

When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.”

[Jesus] said to them, “There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.”

But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.”

Then he said, “Bring them here to me,”

Matthew 14: 15-18
