How good is our God? Last week He opened the door for us to reach even more children with the Good News of the Gospel! It is so very obvious that the Spirit of the Living God is at work in this small community of 24,000 people. I am quite sure that many of these children were hearing this Good News for the first time in this way. ACF is blessed to be part of something this AWESOME!
“Whoever wanted to have fun during spring break registered
for the ‘Spring School’ organized at Point of Hope. However, this was not a
normal school, but a very special one which offered: Bible stories, crafts,
sports and games, music, face painting, ping pong, a lot of fun and the
opportunity for the children to make new friends. This ‘school’ did not address
the children of Point of Hope, but children from Tarnaveni who attend schools
located downtown, children who have never been at Point of Hope before, and
might have never heard about it. The team of Point of Hope did a great job
setting up for a two day program which was first offered on Monday and Tuesday,
to 56 children (1st to 4th graders) from the Traian
Gymnasium, and on Wednesday and Thursday to 60 children from the Avram Iancu
Gymnasium. The most exciting things about this project were: first, this was a
great opportunity to reach out into the community – getting to know kids from
other backgrounds and letting them get to know us, while also establishing
contact with their parents and building their trust in what Buckner Romania and
ACF are doing in Tarnaveni. The second great thing was the opportunity to offer
Bible teaching to these children, reminding them about the true meaning of
Easter, beyond chocolate bunnies and colored eggs. It was a great experience
for all of us to meet and to serve these children this way, and their smiles
and eagerness to learn and to do new things were very rewarding. We feel that
this was a great step toward the community of Tarnaveni, letting people know
that we are there to make a difference and to be a blessing to them all.”
