Backyard Bible Blast, Day 4
Your prayers and the hard work of the Mission Team were rewarded today: we had 15 children come for the program!
At first, the team was a bit overwhelmed by number of kids, especially four energetic boys who were more interested in running around and doing their own thing than listening. But once the Mission Team started doing games with the kids, things went much smoother; they really pulled together to make it a great night.
The Bible theme for the day was "Taste the Living Water," taken from Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well in John 4. Through the Bible story, games and activities, we tried to share with the kids that Jesus is the living water available to them.
The weather all day was beautiful and sunny, so we were able to roast marshmallows at the end of the evening. The kids really enjoyed this because it is not something commonly done in Estonia.
Please continue praying for us. We want Friday to be the best day yet, and after tonight the Mission Team's spirits have been buoyed. But through it all we want God to be reflected and to be faithful to what He would have us do.
