O the last day of October, we helped a small church in a small neighborhood near us. They borrowed our announcing system several days ahead of time & went out announcing a children's festival at the church meeting hall. The young people, well the girls, of the church dressed up each day to walk around the neighborhood inviting children and their parents. They also dressed up the day of the festival to help draw in the children. The tall clown on stilts is a very popular way to advertise around here. This one just happens to be a member of the church!
While they were out rounding up kids, the rest of us were getting prizes and the movie ready to go.
And the people did come. Mostly kids. There was costume judging. Everyone won a prize. Only 2 of the costumed kids were church kids, the rest were visitors! They saw a cartoon movie about David and Goliath and heard the salvation message. And everyone got oranges and fruit to take home with them.
There are plans to do more with this small church whose heart is for the children. We know the message is getting out there and expect to see results soon. Please pray with us for the harvest.
