The school children from the Wesleyan school on campus joined us for church this morning so that the members could remember to pray for them this week of final exams, especially those who will be taking government tests. 
These tests need to be passed before advancing to the next grade. Thankfully Cory walked down to church before Sunday school and roped off 3 pews otherwise we would not of easily found seats. Todd greeted the church in Creole and did a good job [I translated his greeting a couple of days ago and then we worked on it so that he had the words written phonetically] Then the team shared 2 songs and presented a saxophone to the church. A very different service I'm sure than most ever experienced but a good spirit as we praised the Lord together.
The set up for the Kid's Club celebration of the International Day of the child stared early this morning. The parade started very close to the target time of 2 p.m. The children walked down the road a ways, led by the school band [fan fair as it is called here] then returned to campus. Visitors and leadership were presented.
A number of special music and a few short speeches or funny moments. After the team introductions each received a homemade card. Later Todd and I returned to center stage to introduce 'Little Kong' the monkey puppet who will visit again next week with a few friends. Little Kong scared a few of the younger kids but most laughed.
Each of us received a small bag of popcorn along with a few pieces of candy. The children also enjoyed juice. Because many of the local children came who are not enrolled in the program they were unable to hand out small gifts as the 545 that were prepared would not of been enough for the estimated 600 children who attended.
The supplies for the school projects made it to campus yesterday so I'm sure that tomorrow will be a busy day.
