Assumane Fun Day
We drove into Assumane today, but unlike usual, there weren’t many kids yelling out our names. But we all knew where there were. So we drove down in “Faithful” to the village’s local playing field.
.
When we got to the beautiful field of green, there were about 100 kids there. Eventually as we set up the sound system, there were close to about 1,000 kids in that area.
.
We started by playing games with the kids. Everything from “Red Light, Green Light,” to jump rope, to “Limbo,” to soccer, to “toss the ball in the bowl.” Then they had a group potato sack race. The kids all enjoyed this, laughing and playing and falling on the ground.
.
Then Victo called all the kids from the potato sack race over to the truck that had been transformed into a puppet stage. Then Victo, Anita, Carlos and Bona got out all the puppets and sang a song with the kids. When that was over, Debbie got out her ventriloquist puppet and gave the gospel message. Then a group of kids gave their lives to Jesus.
.
That’s when Tyren started to try and hand out little doughnut snacks called, “bolos!” But the kids started to get crazy trying to grab them out of the bags, so we stopped. Then we packed up the equipment and praised God for a wonderful day.
