One day each semester, the high school students at BCA get a break from their regular classes and get to spend the day volunteering at some sort of ministry in Bucharest. A couple weeks ago we had our first service day of the year. The students were broken into small groups and sent off to several different places for the day. Some of the students went to a church, or a clinic, and helped do cleaning and maintenance. Some students went to a home for mothers and helped do babysitting and food preparation. I got to chaperon a group of students who went to a ministry that does child evangelism through puppet shows throughout the whole country of Romania.
We spent the morning learning the puppet skits, and then we drove over to a christian bookstore. The bookstore has an after school outreach to neighborhood kids, and they had asked for a puppet team to come and do something special for them. It was a small space, but we were able to set up all the puppet equipment and put on an evangelistic show for twelve kids. My students did an excellent job with the puppets and really enjoyed themselves. It was a great opportunity to be a part of another ministry in Romania, and I was really proud of my students for using their talents so well!
