Here is a present we received from the kindergarten across the road at the end of their annual Gospel presentation, because it coincided with the Doll Festival (or “Hina Matsuri”). We attended the presentation by the students and teachers at the kindergarten. It was a very professional show. The teachers spent many a late night preparing the costumes and props for the presentation. In the presentation the students acted out various bible stories and also performed a number of musical items of both Christians and Japanese Folk Songs (with a good moral message). They also recited a number of scriptures and prayers. The kindergarten is doing wonderful work to impact the next generation of Nagaokakyo. We are glad that we can work alongside them in reaching this city with the Gospel.
