Mikepercs English Days


GoodSports kicked off its summer program with English Days in our village of Mikepercs. Kids from the village from 9-13 years of age came to meet our American team, play games and learn English. We received a warm welcome from the local school and although the event attracted only a small group of kids, they were an exceptionally good group. And it enabled us to develop deeper relationships with those who did attend. Games like “hook up” tag and “pictionary” filled the morning and Frisbee and t-ball enlivened the afternoons. Each day ended with a visit the local ice cream shop. One the last day Russ and Trudy were able to explain to the kids exactly why they are here in Mikepercs and they told the kids that God sees them as His precious treasure – so precious that God has given his Son to die for their sins so that He could know them and be known by them.
