We had a bigger attendance than we've had for quite some time, about 140 or so. We are currently having an "inviting contest." It helps motivate the kids, well one boy brought 20. So that was quite well. Verna ministered on "adan and eva" or "Adam and Eve." She enacted it with the help of several helpers and some of the children with props. She used our dragon puppet in a tree with the 'fruit'. The kids were really excited and then she had Cain and Abel with their offering and then the murder. We had Jesus and satan characters as well. Verna demonstrated with word badges different things that satan brought into the world like sin, sickness, death, poverty and hunger. She had different kids, who had dark makeup wear those word badges. Our 'satan' character gave 
them the words to wear. Then she had the good things that Jesus brought to man like salvation, heaven, eternal life, healing and abundance. 'Jesus' gave the good words. It was fun and visual.This morning, I was looking at a book and read "sometimes you have to say No!" I knew this was for the kids so after she finished her part. We ministered on the word "No!" We built it up big! by saying all of the pain, suffering, murders, hurt, stealing could have been stopped with this strong, powerful, etc. word. Many guessed different things like Jesus, faith, obedience. Good words, but not the word for the time when Adam and Eve were being tempted. It, of course, was NO! or Hindi in Tagalog. We said you have to say No! to enticing friends who won't always appear as Satan. We used the 'satan' and said temptation won't always look like this, but sometimes like our friends. It ended with us praying with 31 kids praying to receive Jesus!!!It took some more preaching to get the attention of that many kids, bu
t He is Able and the Anointing to save souls is awesome.Lastly we had doorprizes giveaways. We gave out notebooks, food, candy bars, rice, snacks, it was ver
y exciting for the kids. -Mark
