Subject: Croatia, day 9: VBS day 2, showing of film in Bayash

As always, we are grateful for your faithful prayers for us.

Yesterday (Wednesday) we had wonderful weather and were able to hold the second day of VBS in both villages. Our theme was Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, who cares for his sheep, and loves each one so much that he leaves the 99 safe ones to go in search of the one lost sheep.

In each village, we sang Bible songs, acted out the story of the lost sheep, played the audio of that Bible passage (Luke 15:1-7) in their local languages, gave a Gospel presentation, taught the children a memory verse, made a craft of sheep, prayed, and played games. We had about 25 in the small village and 45 in the large village.

Pictures from the small (Bayash) village are above and below.

Below are pictures from the larger (Ludari-speaking) village.

At night, we returned to the small village and showed three chapters of the Gospel of Luke as a film in their language. To my knowledge, this was the first time ever that a film taken word-for-word from the Gospel of Luke in the Bayash language was shown in a public setting. Praise God that we were able to show it and that over 40 people attended. I explained to the attendees that this was just part of the film and that they could access the entire film for free from our website, where they could also find it in print and in audio-only format, and that there were also 50 other Bible stories on this site, freely available in print format and audio recording. See pictures of the film showing below.

Thank God with us that we were able to give out God’s message in song, skit, craft, Gospel presentation and Scripture. Please play that God would use it to find many lost sheep and bring them to Himself.
Thank God with us that we were able to show parts of the film of the Gospel of Luke, for the first time ever for us, in the Bayash language. Pray the Word will bear much fruit.
Pray that many among the Bayash would follow up by watching the rest of the Gospel of Luke from the website and listening to and reading Luke and the Bible stories in their language.
Praise God for safety and good health for everyone on the team so far.

Gratefully,

Todd & Pamala, Daniel and Ariela
