Once again the TB Children Center in Novgorod was busy this past December with getting ready to show their friends the story of Jesus’ birth! So exciting to see the kids and teens acting out the Christmas Story!
The children were so eager to do the play “The Birth of Jesus” this year again that Marina, our Director in Novgorod, could not resist their excitement to do the performance even though on the first days it was hard to organize them. They behaved so badly that we were about to cancel the play. But to her surprise, on the next day of the rehearsal, she saw that almost all of them learned the words and and even prepared the costumes for the play. It touched her heart.
We are sure that the children who participated will remember the wonderful story of the Jesus’ birth. The kids were nervous a bit because we had many guests – the staff and some of the parents of the children who came to see the performance. Some of the parents heard the story about Jesus’ birth for the first time! About a Savior from their children. Isn’t it amazing?
At the end all the children received their Christmas present!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Christmas project at the TB Center in Novgorod. A special thank you to International Concern for Children Foundation, ICCF, who made it possible for the children to receive some basic necessaries in their presents!
