The first of December the Bible Study had its last youth activity for the year. Most activities are held on Friday nights after the kids help cook supper and are free. This allows most of our young girls to attend, but since it means that it must happen after dark it really limits our games, since we have to use the school rooms.

This activity, the youth had a field day. The group was limited since the girls were greatly limited in their attendance, but most of our young men came. They had a great time. The Lord blessed the group with an over cast sky, so that it was not to hot.

The big balls that the church bought are a hit! I try to do inexpensive games, or games that cost no money at all. There was three-legged soccer, big soccer ball games, like steal the bacon, and even water sachet tossing. (Water balloons are very expensive here, but they have small plastic bags that are easy to fill, and work great!)

One of the warm up games, was called frozen t-shirts. We split the guys into two groups. Gave each team a t-shirt that was frozen solid. The first team to pull it apart, and put it on someone won. It was so funny to watch this game. Ghanaians hate cold and ice, so it was really funny to watch them. Everyone was laughing and shouting.

Here is a picture of one of our team captains putting on his frozen shirt. Everyone was laughing when he started shivering.

On Sundays we have started to teach through the Bible story by story. The newest part of this has been adding flannel pictures. It has greatly aided in the story telling and preaching. It has been very exciting to see people get excited about hearing these stories. Each week people are eager to see the next piece of the puzzle.

Currently we are praying that these stories will help to lay foundation blocks for people to build their new faith upon. Many people overseas take for granted the Bible knowledge that many Westerners have. Here in Ghanaians people have sporadic Bible knowledge at best. Teaching the Bible in order and in story form, greatly seems to aid the Christian worker in help people to understand that ideas and beliefs of the Bible.
