While Steve was away in Poltava playing floorball, we had #JustYouth without him. We had planned to do a movie night for February but then Steve found out that this tournament would be the same weekend as our March date so we decided to save it for this month.
I bought chips and pop and we picked out a great Christian movie to show. Unfortunately, there was a blizzard in the days before with five inches of snow and then the day of #JY it absolutely poured rain all day long! There was ankle-deep slush everywhere and it was horrible trying to get around! This meant that we had an incredibly tiny crowd show up which was kind of disappointing but not unexpected.
We started off with eight teenagers plus our team members but we proceeded with our true/false game with movie trivia.
Just as we were finishing up with the true and false game, Garry and Teresa's crew from Nicolaipolia showed up along with a few others so our crowd grew to thirty people. Everyone was really attentive during the movie (once the chips were gone) and there was laughter at all the right spots, ha ha. Andre wrapped it up at the end for us.
Despite the weather circumstances a smaller crowd is always a bit disappointing but we always trust that God brings the people that need to be there every time. We love that #JustYouth is a continuing and growing ministry and it's always great to see what the Lord is doing in the lives of the people who come.
