SATURDAY GYÖNGYÖS



Above: People finding their seats in the Gyöngyös’ local community center. Gyöngyös is a larger city that is on the outskirts of the Northeastern county we serve in. We were thankful for the large turn out on a Saturday and thankful for all the parents that attended with their kids (instead of dropping them off).





Above: Church member Peti trying to hide his face before I snap a shot. Peti hopes to travel with us the majority of the time as his work schedule permits. We are thankful for his ability to join us today and help with the heavy lifting of equipment we load in and out of cars.





Above: Miki asking the kids to raise their hands to warm up for an imaginary snow ball fight.





Above: Scenes from our puppet show. Kids from the show behave disrespectfully at the news of their family expecting a new child. Afterwards their father draws their attention to the story of Jesus’ birth and how there was no room for him. This is when we transition into shadow puppets and are able to share the true message of Christmas from the Bible. Afterwards, the puppets come back on the stage and in response to their father’s gentle correction ask forgiveness from their mother.





Above: Afterwards Miki shares the message of hope that all can have in Christ if they put their faith in Him. The kids enjoy volunteering holding different props that Miki uses to illustrate various reasons why faith in Jesus Christ is so important.

Praise:

• Roads were clear for travel.
• Although team members left at different times, we converged at the community center in time.
• Great turn out of kids and parents to hear the truth about Christ and Christmas.
• All equipment worked without any problems and the show was free of distractions.
• Good nights sleep last night.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for healing of sickness (Brenda, Miki, Sharon, Ben, and Peti has a tooth ache)
• A rest filled Sunday and encouraging time of fellowship and worship at church tomorrow.
