Kids Fest Update

Greetings,

With Kids Fest underway, I wanted to send some photos of what is happening there. It has already been a fantastic time for everyone. Security has not been a problem, which was the one fear. And the responses have been great from everyone, from team members to Haitian staff, to the children. Here are a few of the highlights of each day.

The first one is NOT Kids Fest...just one pictures showing that the team has helped in a LOT of areas, outside of their main plan. We had trees hanging down on the Ham radio
wires, and one on the electric wire. They helped Stan cut them down, cut them up, stack them and clear up the mess. They helped clear out three containers and straighten them out, and the depot was in DIRE need of help, and they got that done, too. They have been over playing with the kids at EBAC and doing a lot of fun stuff along with it all.And then there is the "work" of Kids Fest...work, yes, but fun, too!!
These are some of the kids...can you tell they are excited about this week?
The committee said there was one girl who wanted to come, but couldn't walk, and had no way to get there. The team brought her a wheel chair so she could attend.Not sure if you can see all the kids in the huge tent, or not. This is the morning singing and devotional.Each team leader had time with their group for teaching and for answering questions.
Here you can see all the different groups all over the compound sitting with their leaders.The craft time brings in Christ centered themes. And the kids love doing their own crafts.Then comes games and competition....from potato sack races to carrying eggs on a spoon and all sorts of fun things.
And FOOD...oh yes, they feed them, too. Have many cooks to get this all done for that amount of people. Stan (team leader) said the food was pretty good...he ate along with them.Just wanted to share that with you...and let you see how God is using this team to reach out to a LOT of kids...I think near 500. Quite a project and a lot of work, but worth it for the Lord!!!!
