This coming Saturday in Niños de Vida we're having a party, Fiesta de Vida!! This is the big event that ends our series on the Miracles of Jesus and is also our last kids service before Semana Santa (where all the residents of Managua go to the beach for a week). We will be giving each kid a gift bag that includes candy, crayons, soap, and a salvation bracelet. The message this week will be centered on the significances of the colors on the salvation bracelets:
Black - sin is bad in our hearts and separates us from God
Red - the blood of Jesus Christ cleaned our sins, this is a gift from God
White - we're made pure when we accept this gift from God
Green - we have to grow in God
Gold - when we die we will be in heaven with God

Chase, Julie, William, and Marcos (Pastor Antonio's son) have been putting the gift bags together all day.
