Lost Sheep

Yes, that is the entire village young and old about to take part in a village-wide game of Lost Sheep. A member from each team was chosen to be a lost sheep that would hide somewhere in the "village". Well, after several minutes of people scattered and searching throughout the entire village, 3 teams had found their sheep. Mine had not and we enlisted the other teams to help us find the 2 remaining sheep. It was starting to get dark when one of the teams had found their lost sheep (a boy hiding in a drainage duct which was barely big enough for a ground hog). Unfortunately, my team's sheep was still lost. We had more activities for the night and we were about to give up when my team had spotted some crows circling by a tree outside the village. They investigated and found Srivashem, an older gentleman who decided to have some fun, stretch the rules a bit, and go outside the boundaries for the game. Needless to say their was much excitement when he was brought into KC3 (the community center). The parallels in this game with the parable of the lost sheep were endless and Raj did a great job of leading the people to discover them. Much growth had been taken place in this village prior to our arrival and we are having a blast as God continues to build His Kingdom in Kalavai!
