小田原クリスチャンセンターでの手品

On the 5th of December, we went to Odawara Christian Center, which is about 30 minutes drive away. There, we partook in a children and todlers Christmas party. There were around 20 participants, who were mainly non-Christians.  I was given the oppotunity to do some sleight of hand, and share the goepel to them through the Christmas story. The parents and children enjoied it, and listened well. please pray that the gospel they heard might take hold of them.
12月5日に私たちの住む街・平塚から車で30分ほど行ったところの小田原市にあるクリスチャンセンターにて、子どものための集会のクリスマス会に行ってきました。当日は20名近くの未信者の子どもと親が参加してくださいました。手品と福音を伝える機会をいただき、みなさん楽しんで聞いてくださいました。どうぞこの方々の救いのためにお祈りください。
