Tuesday (Week 3)


We had a GREAT day! We started out back in the same morning villages. We told the Bible story of the Good Samaritan. It is amazing to me how much these people listen and take in the Word. :) We did crafts again and coloring pages with them. Their craft today was a puzzle that they got to make. Thank you for those who helped support our team, because with your support these kids got to create a puzzle for the first time that reminds them of the Good Samaritan. Our whole point of this trip is to share God's word with them and to make sure that it is understandable and memorable to them. After crafts and the story everyone kind of split up again to have more one on one time again. It was at this time that God really showed me why we were here. As I looked around I saw groups of gypsies surrounding an American as they shared the evangicube. The evangicube is a picture tool used to share the gospel. We had several pray to receive Christ, and we had several who are still asking questions. Either way, God is working!!! At night we did something different. Based on the past week's events with the youth rally we felt like maybe that's not where God wants our focus right now. With so many people in this newer village, Tagu, we thought we could be more useful spread out there working with the kids and the adults separately. We divided up and some led a Bible study with the adults. It went great! The other half of us, well, our job was occupying the children so their parents could participate in the Bible study. We played games, told Bible stories, and sang songs with them. These children need good role models in their lives though, so please pray for us to have patience and Christ-like attitudes any time we are dealing with them. I pray that they see Jesus in us! Peace and love!
Here are some pictures from the past few days at camp:
