Having spent a day introducing
the 26 teachers from 15 different ministries to the Kids'
EE program they all took part in the Scripture Fun Fair. As
over 150 children from the Heart
for Haiti Children's Village and school filled the Communication
Centre for a day filled with fun and activity.

The Scripture Fun Fair was immediately
followed by the Gospel Presentation using the Farley Cards
(an excellent visual aid) to bring the Salvation message to
the children.
Many gave their lives to Jesus.

Twenty teachers were present and able to
share the Gospel using the Farley Cards.
Special thanks to Heart for Haiti that have
offered this excellent facility free of cost for us to host
this Kids' EE teacher training summer camp.
The children quickly learned
that they have two ears and only one mouth because they are
to listen twice as much as they talk!
They discovered that we wanted to get to know
them better and were eager and excited to take part in the
Kids' EE Interview.
Praise God a donation enabled Heart
for Haiti to provide juice and 'candies' mid morning and this
was received with great excitement!

Special thanks to the Dutch team
that helped out by taking the 'little ones' from 5 years and
under and a great time was had by all!
The children were great at the
'Take home Truths' and seen here making their two questions
bracelets.
This is the the first step towards starting
a conversation with their friends that could lead them to
leading them to Jesus.
They learned about Grace being
a free gift and got actively involved in the skits and drama.

Even the teachers had fun making
the 'sin paper chain' as the children learned that the wages
of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life.
Learning Bible verses became easy and fun
as the children played games and created crafts associated
with the verses.
On one hand the
Bible says,
“God is
love” (1 John 4:8b)
but on the other hand the Bible
also says,
“(He) will by no means clear the
guilty” (Exodus 34:7b KJV).
The hearts were enjoyed especially
by the girls who made 'Thank you God...hearts'.
The children and teachers found things to
thank God for and were delighted to pose for the pictures.
The children learned the 'Gospel
in a Nutshell' and were excited about practicing the Salvation
message with their friends.
Jesus is God.
He came from Heaven to earth.
He lived a perfect life.
He died on the cross...
and rose from
the dead,
to pay the penalty for our
sins
and to purchasea place in
Heaven for us.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish,
but have everlasting life”
(John 3:16 KJV)
The Jesus Crowns were as always a great success
and the children loved them
Dramas and skits were used to bring across a very serious message.
This little boy had to make a decision he
could no longer live with one foot in the church and one in
the world.
In fact he was not the only one as many children
responded to the alter call and came to give their lives to
Jesus.
The new converts were taken
by the teachers who prayed with them and filled out their
certificates.
We are believing God to be able to supply
Creole Bibles to these children.

Special thanks to Mr. Owen Williams
from the Bible Society of the Eastern Caribbean based in Barbados
that arranged for us to receive these wonderful books from
the Bible Society of Haiti.
What a wonderful job they are doing in Haiti.
As always eating was a highlight
of the day and the food was great thanks Heart for Haiti for
enabling us to have a wonderful camp in your excellent facilities.
