Proclaiming
the Good News of Christ
Hola from the Christ Church Mission
Team. Today was our first day of Bible
School. We had about 80 children from
age 4 to about 14. Some have returned
from previous years and have certainly grown physically and spiritually! They were so glad to see us and we were
greeted enthusiastically. Many even
remembered our names!
Our opening began with lots of cheerful
children’s voices singing the songs which Ashley and Rosa led. Then we divided the children into classes by
age, and they participated in art, music, story and games. Our story was based on the scripture of proclaiming
the good news of Christ. The craft
project we did was to make a microphone out of rolled newspaper, black plastic
bags and various colors and designs of duct tape. The children then proclaimed their good news!
One young boy was just sitting and not
participating. Rebecca noticed him and went to help him get started on his microphone. When he had finished, he proclaimed his good
news, “Jesus loves me!” He got it!
Our first day of mission was
successful. We are tired, but ready and
excited to return tomorrow. Keep us in
your prayers.
In Christ, Deb and Ann (and the Mission Team)
Keeping you all in my prayers.
