Mahathai Christmas

This year was our first year to hold Christmas at Mahathai's new community center. We had a Christmas play by the children, a dance performance, a sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and good fellowship of games and food. Praise God for the people who heard the Gospel as well as the new friendships made that evening.

So many people came out that we've never met. And as we went around to invite people, they all seemed willing to go. What an answer to prayer to see more unity in the community as well as interest in our activities there.

The losers of any game have to stand up front and look like folks while doing a dance like grilled chicken.

A lot of make-up and hair doing happens before any production here, no matter how small. Its all about the presentation!

Some of the characters for our nativity play during the party. The pictures didn't come out so well of the actual play. Don't you think even the sheep is smiling underneath that paper plate?

A bunch of the kids and teens surprised us with a whole dance performance during the evenings. They were so excited and smiling through the whole thing. I enjoyed seeing them take ownership of the evening.
