2005 Easter Celebration
 

As we were visiting the building site Friday, March 25, 2005, Mary decided to have a program for the children and some of the ladies of the village to help celebrate Easter. Alexis and Paul assisted her in the children’s program and Dominike took time out from the construction to assist her in the translation to Mooré.

The celebration was well attended with over ninety children and women present. Paul led the singing, Alexis gave a short message on the resurrection of Christ and Mary taught the children the significance of the Easter eggs in the resurrection story.  Here are a few pictures of the Friday morning celebration.

All of those present received Easter eggs. Here are a few pictures

Here are a few pictures of the children holding their Easter eggs.

After the children’s service, Mary went to the construction site and
handed out some Easter eggs to those working on the building.

The services were well-received. Mary and the Institute students did a great job.  It was a tremendous blessing to see the excitement among the children as they celebrated Easter in a different way from their custom.

God is continuing to bless this mission work. Souls are being saved, baptized and discipled.  We stand amazed in His wonder working power.
