This week our group has had the privilege to help with the Easter Experience at Highgate Road Chapel. We worked with someone similar to their children's director, named Fran.We each had a role to play in a murder mystery: the events leading to Jesus' death.The kids were in primary school which is like elementary sotheywereaboutten. Allthekidswerereallyresponsiveandengaged throughout each part of the mystery scenes; they seemed to receive the gospel really well. Simon, another children's leader, wrapped the entire message up by revealing the person responsible for killing Jesus. He shared with the kids that it was God who planned the whole thing and He sent His son out of love for us. The Easter Experience was a great way to share the gospel to dozens of children. We have been reminded this week, that this is not a tangible trip and we most likely will not see immediate results. That can be kind of discouraging at times, but we are always reminded of the Lord's faithfulness.
Earlier in the week my group engaged some teenage girls who immediately seemed interested in learning more about the gospel.There were about four girls and we got them in a coffee shop to discuss more and ended up talking for about two hours.We met up with them again today, and they brought friends! We decided to maintain our friendship and have a bible study over Facebook.
Today we finished our week with our free day. We enjoyed the sights but missed our friends we met throughout this past week. We did get o experience the Passion of Christ live drama in Trafalger Square. There were thousands of people watching it.
This week has been amazing. I learned a lot about myself and the culture of London. Thank you for your prayers; they have been much needed and have encouraged us greatly!
Enjoy some pictures.
