GLO 2006 as good as ever!

The GLO team have been in action over the past two weeks at MCCC as they take our two sets of kids through a fun-packed week of games, action, quizzes, Bible stories, singing, handicafts and friendship. Approx 40 kids each week joined us in the MCCC while many of our regular kids were visiting with relatives over the school holidays. The team from GLO Europe, Motherwell, Scotland were actually a mixture of Scots, English and Irish as well as a bit of Italian influence among a couple of them.
The children had a ball during the time with us at the centre and left laden with hats, t-shirts, gifts, Bibles, colouring equipment, folders of goodies from our handicraft activities and so forth. Many wanted to stay on with us over the weekend when it came time for them to leave on Friday afternoon but that was not possible.
The highlight of the GLO camp is when children make a response to Christ having heard of his love and concern for them. The Christian message brings great hope and assurance of heaven founded on the unchanging Word of God and the faith of children to respond to that message is a constant reminder to us all of the faith needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. We we delighted when four of the children openly delcared their desire to follow Jesus as their Saviour and Lord.
Our many thanks go to our friends at GLO who organise and run these short mission trips. They are a huge encouragement for their own team members, for the staff at MCCC, for the Christians in Moshi who learn so much about children's ministry and not least for the leadership of the centre. We look forward to having you all back next year!
