I know this is a little late but still wanted to post about Easter. We had a great Easter Weekend at the Children's Home. We decided on an Easter outreach to the neighborhood kids. Praise the Lord we had over 20 children show up so with our own kids at the orphanage we had 40+. Saturday afternoon was pact full of fun and games like Red Light, Green Light, and tug of war (they enjoyed all going against Jake :). We also did egg painting, explaining that the eggs represent the New Life that we can have in Christ. I'm not sure if they enjoyed decorating or eating the eggs more but still a lot of fun! We also had an egg hunt, a first for all of them, it was awesome to see them enjoying it so much.
Lastly we showed the Jesus Film for Children with snacks and drinks. The kids loved the film and all watched intently, especially when Jesus was nailed to the cross. It definitely displayed the story of Easter to them in detail. At the end, a salvation appeal was given and seven children raised their hands to give their lives to Christ for the first time, hallelujah! It's always such a joy to see the little ones coming to Him! We hope to see these new believers coming to Kid's Club during the week now.

Waiting to dye their eggs, Dorcas is eating hers anyway :-)
Some of the finished products. You can only get brown eggs here, not quite as good as white for dying

Everyone got something from the hunt (phew!)
