Mission's Day!

Of all the events here at Agape Christian Academy, Mission's Day blew me away!

Each class from preschool to 11th grade is assigned a country a month prior to the event. They then learn about the demographics, politics, people groups, language, and religions of this country. It becomes a center piece in their learning and a prayer focus in their daily devotions.

The event itself is beautiful. Each class designs costumes and a dance performance to a praise song in that county's language. We saw performances from Thailand, Saudi Arabia, The Netherlands, Indonesia, and Venezuela just to name a few. My class represented Panama and they did  an excellent job! With the boys dressed in little cowboy hats and the girls in beautiful white and red traditional dresses, they couldn't have looked more adorable.

I was assigned to braid the girls' hair - I think I did nearly 80 braids!
