Christmas party for Students

Christmas our team


All the participants of the party

On December 27 we had great opportunity to openly witness about Christ to many our students who came to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.A week before that we send them all Christmas cards by mail. We also handed out the invitations to the Christmas party on 27 of December.The whole program of the party was focused on Jesus and His gift to all of us.There were songs, power point presentation, skit, message about the true meaning of Christmas.A one point before eating the cake all of us with students stood up to sing to Jesus “Happy birthday to you”!They said that they had never ever done that before.We gave them a piece of paper and asked to write their most secret desires and what they would like for Jesus to give them next year. After that we got up to pray to Jesus asking Him to hear all their desires.Some of the students said that they had received the Christmas cards we send them by mail prior to the Christmas party. It was great surprise for them to find an envelope in the mail box with the words of blessing. They had never received anything like that before. They were so grateful for the care they received from us.After the Christmas party some asked direct questions about God and were deeply touched by all they experienced in the party.Please pray that the seeds that were planted and watered in their life would experience rapid growth caused by God.

But the Word of God grew and multiplied Acts12:24

the Word of God

Picture of handing out New Testaments

Last Wednesday at our English club we had privilege to hand out the New Testaments to our school age students. Each time we have a class with them we try to focus on the Word of God.We all pray that God would continue to open their hearts to receive the truth of His Word, as they meditate and study it diligently.They have never heard the word of God preached or tought to them before.We have been able to cover some of the very important topics like:What is true love?What is sawing and reaping?Is there absolute freedom?Why is it important to have purpose in life?We look forward to having discussion on what is real beauty?We hope to cover a lot of Biblical topics with them by the end of the year.
