Mission Fete 2009

We once again had our mission party for the workers of the Mission. It included all the guards, office staff, gardeners and anyone who is paid to work at the mission. It is our way of saying thank you for supporting us and working with us through the year. We also invited all of our house helpers and friends that wanted to come, some of whom are not Christians. We had about 30 to 40 people come to this party. This is an early photo before most of the people arrived.

We once again told the Creation story to the Christ child. This story starts with God's creation of the Earth and his special creation man. The story talks about the incredible relationship man had with God, but man disobeyed God breaking this wonderful relationship. It talks about the laws God gave us to follow, but man could not follow the laws. I then talk about the sacrificial system, but this system became ritualistic and did not change the heart of man and the relationship with God was still broken. However, God sent his prophets to tell of a savior God was going to send that would save man from their disobedience. Then the story shifts to the special gift God sent us to restore the relationship with man. God sent His only son who never sinned and lived a perfect life and if we trust in God's son, Jesus, our relationship with God is restored for all time. Please pray that the people who heard this story will accept it as truth and accept Christ as their savior. Some of our close friends are Muslim and they heard this story for the 2nd or 3rd time. Please pray that they will accept this story as truth.
