Two siblings from Texas made headlines when they stopped a bully in the most unusual way.
Kingston and Phoenix Walwyn used to hate riding the bus home from Turner Elementary School in Pasadena, Texas. Aged seven and eight, respectively, they were taunted every day by a bully who sat behind them and called them names.
The Walwyns went to their parents to put an end to their harassment. Their mother had a meeting with the school principal, and the bully was moved to a different seat on the bus.
While the teasing initially stopped, the bully soon found other ways to torment them. The Walwyns’ father decided to try something different. “I prayed about it,” said Vaughaligan Walwyn, a pastor at the CT Legacy Church.
“And God said, ‘You know what, let’s get this kid a Bible. Tell him Jesus loves him and invite him to church and see what happens.'”
As a religious family, the Walwyns had no shortage of Bibles, so the children went back to the bus armed with the word of God. To their surprise, it worked. “He just said thank you and [I’m] sorry for all the bad stuff [I] did to you,” explained Phoenix.
Then he got off at his stop, and in the days that followed, he left the Walwyns alone. According to their father, he was “caught off-guard” that the plan worked so well, but he was extremely pleased by the results.
He took his children’s story to social media to spread the word. “It’s something about operating in the love of Christ that gets the job done,” he wrote on Facebook.
