Saturday with the children!

Hello brothers and sisters, I just wanted to share with you a little about what happened this weekend.  We had planned to have a mega fair on Saturday for the children of El Salvador, but that was changed when the local school system  put a mandate in order that the children have to go to classes for the next 8 Saturdays.  This was put into order on Thursday, and because 4 out of 8 of our zones could not attend the Mega Fair we decided to suspend it for now.  The discipleship department that I work with still had normal children services, although we were not expecting the result in the number of children that came to the service Saturday.  The busses started arriving and children started pouring off of the busses, after we had a chance to get the children seated we had the ability to count how many children (club castle, Guardians of the vision, other children who came for the first time EVER!).  The total amount of children that were in attendance was 532 children, WAY MORE THAN EXPECTED! So myself and the Guardian leaders put a drama program together and ministered to the children that way, and it worked even some of the guardians were participating in the dramas, it was AWESOME!  The way the school system works here is like this, only half of the children go in the morning and the other half go in the afternoon, which meant that only half of the children could come to the Mega Fair if we had it so we decided to suspend it and will be having it on the last Sunday of July(which means "No Classes, children can come and have the time of their life".
Friends I live for this type of ministry there is no feeling that can compare to when you are helping a child have fun but most of all helping them to find their hope in this world JESUS CHRIST.
