Anywhere with Jesus

 

 

Weekends are, quite simply, not long enough. From the moment we arrived on Friday afternoon/evening until departure on Sunday there was never a dull moment. There may have been full tummies, puzzled minds and hoarse voices, but certainly no dull moments.

This was the second winter, we held Basildon Christmas celebrations under Kirtana Ministries in the United Kingdom and for the second year running we were full to capacity. People travelled from both north and south to be a part of what has become something of an annual fixture in many or our diaries. With the majority being return guests, we were delighted to welcome along a few newcomers to share together in an encouraging and relaxing time away from it all.

Our focus for these Christmas celebrations has consistently been on Jesus. As our teacher and our guide to life, we want to be growing to know him more fully and to understand his ways more perfectly. Starting with Praise and worship and then very lively children singing along side with Christmas nativity skit performed by children. Very inspiring testimonies and encouraging each participant to speak about their testimonies enabling them to grow in confidence in their lives.

Distribution of Christmas gifts to all the children of different age groups and then ended with a very delicious fellowship dinner.
