Christmas Carolers
December 18-19, 2009 -- Trieste, Italy
The "Christmas Carolers" from the Frontier School of
the Bible in Lagrange, WY came to sing on the streets and in the piazzas of Trieste,
reminding folks of the real reason for the season - the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ to save us! The group is made up of 7 students and their
professor, Ken Stearns. They wear traditional Dickens' era costumes, which
draws a lot of good attention.
In addition to singing along the streets, the group sang in
various shops in the city, giving us the opportunity to give something back to
this city and it's people. People are thrilled to see and hear them.
This was the 5th year that we've had Christmas carolers in Trieste and by now
many people are watching for them. Around October, folks start asking us
if they are coming again. It's a very fun time and gives us opportunity to
meet and talk with many people.
On Saturday night we had a concert in the huge San Antonio
church right downtown Trieste. Although the newspaper reported that we had
the worst weather the city has seen in 18 years that day, about 200 people still came
out for the concert! They braved the snow, bitter cold and harsh winds
(gusts up to 150 kmh). We gave out verse-a-day calendars as well as dozens
of Gospels of John and copies of a DVD with testimonies of 7 Italian believers.
