What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Do you like chocolate?¬† Vanilla? Rocky road? All of us have a different taste in ice cream but for the kids the flavor doesn’t matter.¬† As a Christmas treat, on December 5, 2009, iRock Philippines treated the kids from Peace Assembly of God to ice cream. Guess what flavor? Flavor of the road.
If you are wondering what is ‘flavor of the road’, it is the kind of ice cream being sold by peddlers or by a push cart. Kids don‚Äôt mind the ‘flavor of the road’ because they are excited to enjoy any flavor.¬† This is what we could afford to give as a Christmas gift.
The kids were very excited. But the excitement didn’t end there.¬† We continued with games and I joined with the kids to play.¬† During the service I saw excitement and joy as they learned about Jesus.
We distributed 50 bibles including the taxi driver and some adult leaders. As they received the Bibles, we encouraged the kids to memorize some verses and the books in the bible.
Similar to other groups we told them we would give away a special reward for those who memorized the Words of God. We encouraged them, because the Old Testament said that we need to teach our children about the law of God and meditate on it day and night.
From here in the Philippines, we give a big thanks to those who support iRock Ministries (USA) and pray for us and special thanks to Light for the Lost for providing the bibles. I consider the Bible to be the best gift that the kids could have received this Christmas.
