So, this is one of our favourite games at the moment....We learned how to play it in Moldova and it has been called many things, but 'Between two fires' is my favourite! It's kind of like dodgeball...we get all the kids in the middle and then throw a football at them! Great fun!!
This game we played in a village when we went to work with some Roma children. These were probably some of the nicest kids we have worked with in Kosovo...
We also attempted some face painting (on some very sweaty faces...) and balloon modelling with the kids...
As pretty much always, the kids sang with all their hearts - songs about Jesus...they learned a memory verse from the Bible and heard stories about how God loves them and made them special. These children also heard how God has invited them to be a part of his kingdom and the consequence of not accepting His invitation.
Many times I sit and watch the children as they sing and listen, and I wonder how much of what they are hearing and doing really impacts them...how many of them go home after the programme and think about what they just heard? These kids, who are so often rejected by society, really need people who will invest in their lives and encourage them to be more than what other people tell them they can be. Most of all, they need to know with their hearts the never-changing, never-ending love and grace of their saviour...
