One of the evenings at ‘the shelter’ in Crete some Bulgarian refugees came over to the house for Bible study. There were these 2 little girls. They were used to playing in the room that we were staying in, so they looked quite confused when they couldn’t go inside. As the Bible study was about to start, Brian ushered me outside with them and asked me to keep them busy. I thought, wow God knows me so well, I’d love to rather be outside with the kids! So anyway, I got some paper from my journal and pens and we sat by the table on the porch, drawing practising some writing. They could not speak a word of English, but I soon learned that they were 7 and 8 years old. I had a kids song in my head that I started singing to them, Acts 16:31, from a kids Bible verse songs CD, that I bought before for my kids in Zambia. By the end of our somewhat 2 hours outside, they were both singing with me in English and we all had some sort of ‘instrument’ we were playing and having lots of fun. The best part of the evening was right in the end when Gergana had already left , I took my ipod and played the song for Zumbilka. Just watching her face as she recognized the song and started singing with was worth a million. When it ended she just shouted Bravo!!
