Today we went to "Winter Jam" with our church youth group...
This is an event sponsored by WMU for educating youth about missions...
DC learned about how missions are needed not only in the international arena, but also locally... there were several exhibits and hands-on opportunities...
DC made bread as was made in the time of Jesus and learned about "locust stew"... they "traveled" to Kenya and Malawi, where they learned of the immense poverty and disease there... they made jewled bookmarks for the missionaries to use in the field and got bring one home for their own use in their bibles...
The highlight of the day for them was speaking to a missionary from Croatia, who told them all about the country, taught them to say "hello" and "goodbye" in Croatian, and gave them cookies made from the recipe used by Lottie Moon in her travels to China...
They had a great time and learned a great deal about missions the world over...
