A Carnival in Berettyóújfalu - CCBCE Vajta, Word of Life & GoodSports

What happens when 40 Americans, 9 Hungarians, 2 Koreans, 1 Cuban & 1 Indian get together with 120 kids?  FUN!

On April 21 we spent the afternoon at the Berettyóújfalu Children's Home with a team from Word of Life in New York, and a team from Calvary Chapel Bible College in Vajta, Hungary.  This multinational team joined forces with GoodSports to put on a Carnival for the 120 children who are residents of this orphanage.

Our day included streamers, balloons, games, competitions, prizes, face painting, a BMX demo, a skateboarding demo, and a testimony time.

The games included bowling, jump roping, Q-tip wars, extreme snacks (garlic, onion & cat food), and more!

We did the prizes Chuck E. Cheese style.  The kids earned tickets by playing the games, and got to select their prizes themselves.  By making choices concerning which prizes they wanted the kids had to decide: "do I get a smaller prize with the tickets I have?  Or do I go play more games, to collect more tickets, so I can get that really big prize I want?"

The day was wrapped up with a personal testimony from a Hungarian Christian.  Many personal conversations occurred throughout the day, most as a result of the testimony that was shared.  Keep these kids in prayer!  Many of them are still searching...
