The previous posts described some of our activities that our construction team and others from FBC-Athens were involved in. We also changed up how we presented our night activities this year.
In the past we have offered evangelists, bands, concerts, movies and other activities to further strengthen our bonds with the Cesis people. Some of these activities were successful and some weren't.
Since we now have our own facilities, this summer we were able to have very informal night meetings at the church. A light meal was offered, a few icebreakers to get the crowd warmed up and then we had our couples that came from Texas speak to the people. They weren't sharing great theological wisdom or explaining how great their lives were. They just shared their hearts, shared their triumphs and disasters, shared how God has blessed their lives.
We are so grateful that our friends from FBC were willing to open up and be so transparent. The Cesis people were able to see that we are all the same; we have the same problems and the same challenges. We also learned we have the same solution...God.
