We have spent the past few days getting ready for our first night of playground ministry and it turned out to be a success!! The idea of playground ministry is of course to show the kids the love of God, but its also a way of creating relationships with the kids and the parents. For the first night we decided to do the sand art craft and then afterwards play frisbee with the kids for a little while. We were also blessed to have amazing weather considering the past three days have been cold and rainy.
At first the kids didn't know what to do, only a few would come up to the table and then all at once they surrounded us. As you can see one even made it on top of the table. They all seemed so excited.
We had kids of all ages.
The kids were all so excited and just full of energy, it was such a good day.

My last box of craft supplies from home came yesterday and somehow one of the sand art crosses had been mixed in with the craft supplies in that box. So when we opened the box yesterday I found it an put it with the others. Then halfway through the kids doing their sand art we thought we weren't going to have enough for everyone to do one, but we ended up having exactly the right amount. So without that last cross coming through the mail yesterday one kid would have been left without a sand art cross. That is the power of God! I am so thankful to Him and to everyone who is praying for me and my journey. I am having a blast seeing God work over here! Keep on praying!
