Easter Outreach 2011
authored by Abby
Acts 29’s Easter week was packed full of fun! In four locations throughout Hamtramck, our staff joined with high school youth to lead Easter Kids Clubs. Three women who worship and serve at Acts 29 opened their homes and yards to host clubs for kids in their neighborhood. About 40 kids heard the Gospel through these kids clubs. On Saturday, we invited families to our building for an afternoon of games, snacks and an Easter Story Drama. Twice during the event, Mary Magdalene walked children and their parents through her experience, while three scenes were acted out: the crucifixion, the resurrection and Jesus on the shore with his disciples. The majority of the attendees were Muslims from Bangladesh and Yemen. After seeing Jesus nailed to the cross, one Yemeni woman remarked, “Did that really happen?” A Christian woman standing nearby was able to tell her that yes, it is true! As you can see, there are families in this city who don’t know the Gospel, and as we share it, we pray diligently that those who hear will believe.
