Our message was about "Transforming" and we used the Bible passage from Luke 19:1-9.
It was a challenge for us to use Balloon sculptures to illustrate the principles and values from the passage. Luke 19:1-9 talks about this man named Zacchaeus (whom I called him, Zac -the short and hairy man), a tax collector, who was not well recieved and being rejected by the community because his wealth came from collecting money from other people and giving it to the Roman government in the early days. Later, he came to know Jesus when Jesus wanted to visit his home. The amazing part of this story was that Jesus knew who Zacchaeus was even before Zac wanted to see Jesus from the tree. Zac's life was transformed and he gave half of his possessions to the poor, and return four times for those he had cheated in the past.
It was a simple but yet heart touching story to tell the children that they are accepted by God no matter who they were. We were encouraged by this event and we hope to bring more gospel through balloons to more churches out there.
Here are some of the highlights of our story with balloons:
