Hello dear brothers and sisters!
I want to share with you how this month passed. At the beginning of the month we held a “bachelor party” and a “bachelorette party” with the guys. At the “bachelor party” we touched upon the topic: “Jesus the way.” Many people choose to follow the simple path that leads to destruction. But there is also Jesus, who is the true path, and if you follow this path, then a person will have eternal life. We also compared our life to a “house”, and so to speak, we took it apart piece by piece.
For example, our eyes are the windows (What we look at is important), and our heart is the door (What we let in is important). It is also very important that our foundation is built on Jesus, because He is our foundation! We talked to the girls on the topic “True beauty”. There are several concepts of beauty: there is external beauty (how you look); inner beauty, which is important (our relationships with people around us, our habits); God is not partial to people, and He helps everyone to be truly beautiful inside and out.
We also held an Easter show this month. Most of the team were allowed to come exactly on Easter week. We also came with a youth Christian theater team. Together with the guys, we remembered where and when Easter was first celebrated, and what it means for us. And most importantly, what it meant for God the Father, and what price God had to pay in order to reconcile us with Him. The whole school gathered. There were teachers, children and the school administrators. The deputy director said that she could not come off from the show, and that she really liked it. Observing the children, we could get some sort of
feedback, because during the month we have been talking about
the upcoming Easter. And during the performance, the children were competing with each other to shout out the correct answers. How nice to see that the guys understand that Easter doesn’t mean Eggs, nor rabbits, nor rolls. Easter is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and the subsequent resurrection. All this was important to say, because even in our time people associate Easter incorrectly. When the performance was over, Dima went out, and together with the whole audience, repeated the solemn greeting: “Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!”. We brought along with us gifts for the children. The guys were happy that God answered them, and that these gifts were everything they needed. All this aroused joy and sincere gratitude. ‘Thank you for reminding us of the true meaning of Easter’ – said the Teachers! We thank everyone who prayed for us, and who helped collect these gifts for children! Let’s pray that the seed sown will bear fruit!
