Youth Group

The Youth Group has been a really big part of our ministry in Mikeperc, and we really feel like God has laid down a really exciting foundation for these kids to learn about Christ, which could possibly start a revival in this small, religiously apathetic village.

The first four days we had about 30-40 attendees, but on Friday, we had 50+ village children attending! Praise the Lord! We continued having hot chocolate and a different kind of American junkfood to serve the kids, followed by Trudy teaching them a song, a couple of games, and then a skit or message. Each skit and message's theme was our need for God, but on Friday we performed our finale skit, which focused on our need for a relationship with Jesus Christ and for the redemption he brings. After the skit, Russell (through our faithful translator, Anita) shared a simplified gospel message to the kids, which they seemed very receptive to.

While none of them came to Christ during this week, we have faith that God was at work and, even though we may not see the fruits of what God has started, we believe that this is the generation that can lead the church out of a faithless, power-hungry hierarchy, and transform it into a community of interdependent believers who will love as we are called to.
