Cleveland Missions – Day 2

Written by Jon Wittmer:
Today was the big day! One of our main tasks this week was to put on a “FUN DAY” like the AWANA fun fair. Yesterday we passed out flyers to kids in the housing complexes around the Faith Baptist Community Center inviting them to this afternoon filled with games, food, prizes, and, of course, the gospel. We were told that the most kids that had ever showed up to any event at the church was about 60 kids, so we were expecting around 50 or 60 kids to show up for this. Well, we know that God finds ways to exceed our expectations as He did this time, blessing us with a turnout of over 100 kids! Many of these kids had never been to any church before so I was thankful for the opportunity to share the gospel with all of them by method of the wordless bracelet. Teaching them was difficult and a little disheartening because there was never a moment of complete silence during the whole presentation and there were a few times when I couldn’t even hear myself talk. It was encouraging to find out later that that was actually quiet for them and many of them could go through the wordless bracelet themselves.
I don’t know if anybody was immediately impacted by the gospel, but I am just glad for the chance to share it with them. After the “fun day” was over, we packed up and headed out back to Grace Baptist Church of Westlake. We have a busy day tomorrow as we will be involved in two church services and a few other ministries, so please pray for us then.
