1 down, 1 to go

That is the mentality of the team today. Yesterday we completed our second neighborhood children's event, and tomorrow we have our final Bible study celebrations night. It's been a little crazy planning two big events only two days apart, but we are hanging in there :) The children's event went really well although we had fewer children in attendance than our Noah's Ark event in October. Still, we sang a few Christmas songs, plays some games and Meredith, Elsa and I shared the responsibility of sharing the message: Wordless Book Style! The kids really enjoyed themselves, and we are satisfied that we presented a clear gospel message to them. We cleaned up and were done with everything by about 1:30, and then got to work on preparations for event number two.
Today and tomorrow will be busy days of planning, decorating, making trips back and forth between our house and the venue where we will be hosting the event. I am in charge of the celebration slideshow, and putting together video testimonies to present in the middle of the program, so I will be spending my day today working out the kinks and taking some final video. We are hoping and praying for a really good turnout, that many non-believers would come to Christ and be able to celebrate his birth with new meaning in their lives. Please be praying for this event as it is the culmination of our past six weeks of Bible studies, and the last thing we will be "officially" doing in Tarma until February. Things are coming together for the event, and we are all pretty excited to see how it all turns out. I'll be keeping you posted!
