Ch'airo - A typical Bolivian soup made of meat, vegetables and chuño, in other words a little of this and that. Come join the discussion as we look at a little of this and that in the ministry of Evangelical Church Missions - Liberia.

Suffer the little children . . .
This past Sunday was a district wide children's rally. Although only four of the churches were there (frustration), there might have been around 200 kids. It's hard to tell, they are so small and the building was kind of big. None the less, there was enough enthusiasm for a crowd twice that big. I was invited to tell a story to the kids. I used the story from John 9 about Jesus healing the man born blind and tried to present a basic Gospel presentation. The kids were really pretty good at listening but the setting was not real conducive for a formal invitation. But I trust that the Word still brings fruit.
(The picture has nothing to do with my story. I was only goofing around, which is the only time that anyone will ever take my picture.) Besides me, there was music. . .
a contest, clowns and puppets. The group doing the organizing did a great job. I hope this will become a normal feature of the district's life. It is good to see a renewed interest in the kids and in child evangelism in both the district and the denomination at large.
