The Seed Ministry 10th Annual Regional Rally was held Saturday. It was a big success.
Thomas would read questions to the 35 children. They had to be under 14 years old to participate. The questions varied in difficulty. The question was read in English, then in Dagbani. The timer would then be started. First round 25 sec., Second round 20 sec., then for the remaining rounds they had just 15 sec.
Here were two questions that occurred during the final rounds.
Question 178: How many times did Peter deny Jesus? Answer: 3. (no problem)
Question 185: What does it mean to 'Remain in Christ'? Answer: 1)to believe that Jesus is God's Son, 2)to receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, 3)to do what God says, 4)to continue to believe the Good News of Jesus Christ, 5)to continue to love one another. (can you do that in 15 sec. ?)
The children impressed (or humbled) us all with what they had learned.
"Hide Your Word in my heart that I may not sin against God."
All of the participants went away with something. There were some great prizes for the top winners. The 3rd Place winner received a small radio and a few Cedis (money). 2nd Place won a phone with enough Cedis to activate, register, and purchase minutes with. 1st Place won some Cedis and a new bicycle. Everyone was happy with their prizes.
Oh so exciting! I am loving keeping up with this blog! The pictures of getting the dinners out to the participants brought back many memories of Herb and I trying to get that assembly line going :). Praying for you all and blessings!!!!
