2nd Annual Kid’s Festival

Here in Bolivia although more and more people are starting to participate in Halloween the major emphasis is on what is called “the day of the dead”. This usually takes place on the 1^st of November and is a tradition where the people take food and other things that to the grave site of their dead loved ones. The idea is that their spirits come back and receive their offering that was given. At the church we try to give the children an alternative to these things with the opportunity to share the word of God with them. This past Wednesday the 31^st we had our second annual Children’s Festival. We spent a few days inviting people to the activity and especial a few hours before we went out and passed out flyers as the kids were returning from school. As the people arrived we had a special service for the kids upstairs while we presented the gospel to the adults downstairs who were visiting. Afterwards we had an hour or so of games and activities for all present. The Lord truly blessed as we had our highest attendance ever with 136 people present and even more important than that was that we had four adults who trusted Christ as Savior.
