Tony & Gary devised a number of fiendish missions for us to tackle. Starting with the relatively easy task of discovering a number of miracles of Jesus in the Bible (a miracle being defined as “a marvellous event manifesting a supernatural act of a divine agent”), we then had to complete five impossible missions, which thankfully were actually achievable (though not without considerable time and effort!)
The first mission was to score 50 points at this game, which proved easier said than done:
The second mission was a variation on the egg and spoon race!
The third mission involved basketball and some people found this very easy! (So much so we have no photographic evidence of this one!)
The fourth mission involved completing a maze:
The fifth mission involved a race and hopping, jumping and leap-frogging! It was a good job we had young people on the teams!
Despite exhausting us from all this activity, we also learned some amazing things through this. When we consider all the miracles that Jesus did (healing the official’s son, healing a blind man, healing a deaf and mute man, healing a paralytic, healing a leper, raising Jairus’s daughter back to life, catching fish, feeding thousands, calming the storm, walking on water and healing a man with a withered hand or a woman suffering from years of bleeding), we see something of His amazing power and compassionate ministry. Truly, the Son of God completed many ‘impossible’ tasks; amazingly He also told us “whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12)
