Teltkampagne - Tent campaign

Det var så vidunderligt at være på teltkampagne i Ringsted. Så snart vi ankom, begyndte børn og teenagere at komme forbi for at hilse på os. Vi har været på denne plads hver sommer i 27 år. Der var masser af gode oplevelser i løbet af ugen, men her er den største:
Om onsdagen sad vi i teltet og repeterede Den Ordløse Bog med børnene. Den Ordløse Bog består af fire sider med hver sin farve, som repræsenterer forskellige sider af evangeliet. Mens vi sad og talte, udbrød Nini (navnet er ændret): „Jeg tog imod Jesus i går." Jeg spurgte hende så, hvordan det føltes, og Hamid (navnet er ændret) svarede: „Det føles godt!" Nini fortsatte: „Det var sjovt, og nu er jeg så glad." Jeg fik talt lidt med dem om frelsesvished og gav Nini en andagtsbog. (De muslimske børn må ofte ikke tage imod kristen litteratur, så Hamid fik ikke nogen.) Både Nini og Hamid tog min ordløse bog og rendte rundt i teltet for at fortælle de andre børn evangeliet. Bogen kom tilbage med en del fedtfingre på – men hvad gør det??!! Hvor ville jeg dog ønske, at der var en børneklub i nærheden af disse børn!

It was so wonderful to be at the tent campaign this week. As soon as we arrived, children and teens started to drop by to say hello. We have been at this site every summer for 27 years. We had many good experiences during the week, but here is the biggest one for me:

On Wednesday we were sitting in the tent and repeating The Wordless Book with the children. The Wordless Book contains of four colours that each represents a different aspect of the Gospel. While we were talking, one 8 year old girl exclaimed, "I received Christ yesterday!" So I replied, "How did it feel?" Then one little Muslim boy replied, "It felt good!" And the girl added, "It was fun. I am so happy now." So I shared with them something about assurance of salvation and then gave the girl a Wonder Devotional Book. I couldn't give the boy a book since he was from a Muslim family but he did get his own Wordless Book. Then both the children picked up my Wordless Book and went around the tent sharing the Gospel with the other children. The book came back with lots of finger marks on it, but who cares??!! How I wish that there was a local Good News Club for these children! But it closed some years ago and noone has taken over.
