One of the outreach ministries of the Ray of Light is teaching the children of the church plants about Jesus. At the Mafarinha church plant this takes place in the outside courtyard of the preschool. This outside ministry is a magnet for all the neighborhood children who can't resist any gathering that looks like it might be fun. Fun it is because Tatiana (my dynamic Portuguese teacher) keeps the children's attention as she exuberantly explains the Bible story. To compliment the story the children were given a picture to color and a cut-out piece to add for animation. My part was to help the children glue on that little piece...a seemingly easy job....until I discovered we had one bottle of glue. There was a brief moment of frenzy when one hundred hands popped into my peripheral vision. It took a while to divvy out the glue but each child went home quite satisfied with their masterpiece.
