June 2009, God opened the opportunity for me to share HIS joyful heart to children at Pare Village. Pare Village is a beautiful suburb at North Sumatera. We used a small bus to reach Pare. The trip took 2-3 hours on the road to get the Village. Along the road to Pare, We could see so beautiful views, with lots of coconut trees everywhere. It was so amazing moment. I couldn't wait to meet the little ones there. On the way to Pare, some friends told me about the kids there. Most of the children at Pare have so little opportunity to get good education. They have to walk some Kilometers to find a school. My friends open a class there, where the little ones can learn something, specially learning about God's love to them. When we arrived to Pare, I could see many children gathering to welcome us. The called out some teachers' name. I met some children that asked me some questions, about who I was and where I came from. They felt so happy when I told them that I was a clown. They followed me to the backyard, where I changed my clown clothes and
prepared my make-up. The kept asking me about the clown. I could share some stories to them. I saw bright eyes, wide smile, and a joyful heart started to
be transfered to them. God was using so simple things to revealed HIMself through me. After couple minutes of preparations, it was the show time. All children (around 40-50 children) were so ready for the show. Even so moms and old ladies came to enjoy the clown show. I started with a simple magic trics. I asked if some of the have a necklace. A little girl, named Dewi, came forward to submit her necklace. I asked her to put into my magic bag. She was so surprice when I opened the magic bag and the necklace dissappeared. She almost cried, when I "made" the beautiful necklace became a bad face rock. Then I told her a story of CREATION DAY,
when God created so wonderful things. When Sin came, all beauty are gone. Sin put everything into darkness. The beautiful Necklace was became a bad face rock. But The savior came and saved. The necklace came back. She was so happy. I called the a smiling princess and gave her a flower baloon. The necklace was lost, but now it was found. Then I start to share a story using twisting baloon's techniques. I shared about how great is our God's love. The Master's love to all children around the Pare Village. It was so amazing.... A song called " Lord I love You, were played when I shared the story.
Everyone was so quiet when I shared The Jesus' love Story. I could see some girls, sat at the back row, felt so sad. Tears came down from these little eyes. The love and Joy from the Lord touched their heart. God is love. The one who touched by God will be filled with HIS love and joy. These two are in one package of God's love. I could see tears, but I felt the
joyfulness too.
Look at the face !!!! look at the thirsty heart. Thirsty not for any water, but for love, acceptance, and peace. They live in a very small village. They have a little body, in the young ages. But God loves them so much. They are the apple of God's eyes, heritage of God's treasure.It's time to go home.... to a home of hope and love. A home where you can enjoy your daily life with the Lord. Enjoy your forever love with HIM.
I made a house from the baloons. I asked a boy to came forward, and I put him into the house. I told them all that we have a special home, that can keep us in love, joy, peace, and harmony. It's the house of God. He is inviting us to get closer and say "YES" to HIS invitation.
WELCOME HOME !!!!
WELCOME HOME !!!!
WELCOME HOME !!!!
HOME OF LOVE ......
HOME OF HOPE ......
HOME OF JOY .........
In HIS Joy,
Uncle Star - Joyful clown
