Anniversary
Paul and I celebrated our Anniversary with Luther at the city festival. It was a full 3-day weekend with parades, fan fare, music and one-of-a-kind costumes.
We are so thankful for God's guidance and wisdom in the building of our tent. On Friday, we had wind, rain and storm, but our booth remained standing and we stayed dry. Saturday and Sunday brought beautiful weather and lots of visitors to our booth. We were able to distribute over 1200 Gospel tracts as well as several Bible, Christian books and lots of children's materials. We painted faces and demonstrated paper making. For our first go of it, it was a great success.
Despite the fact that I kept telling people that "Anna is wet and green" instead of our paper is made from "Pineapple leaves", we drew a good crowd and have already seen a spike in our Internet visitors.
Probably the most exciting contact of all was our booth neighbor, Werner. He is very open to the Lord and full of questions. We exchanged email addresses and plan to stay in contact. He will be back in Wittenberg for the Reformation Festival in the fall. Please pray for Werner in the meantime.
On Wednesday we will be making a presentation in the local high school introducing our church to the teens there. Please keep us in your prayers.
Blessings,
Chelli
