Sunday Afternoon Get together

Each Sunday afternoon, these children come from around their neighborhood to be with "Frere  Willy!"(Brother Willy)  Willy has been working with children since he was a youth member.  Each time he has the opportunity to share the Word with children, he does it with a smile on his face. I met him in 2005 for the very first time.  I don't think I have ever seen him not smile. Three years ago, he started inviting children in his neighborhood to come to his house.  Along with his wife and sister, they set up chairs for children to come and dance, sing, hear Bible stories, play games, and get to know one another.  He started out with a just a handful of kids, but now he has about 40 regular attendees. 
 
Sometimes you even attracted others and they hear all that is being said and sung. Do you see the children sitting on top of the hill behind the tree branches?
The children even made themselves a little drum set!
They are so creative!
 
At the end of the meeting children had the chance to answer questions about the story that was told. If they got the answer right, they got a chance to knock over a bottle to receive a point for their team.  Frere Willy has done well with teaching the children to encourage one another, as you can see in this video.  Please continue to pray for Will, his family, and all those that come to his place once a week.  That God would use him to change a nation.
