On the 10th of July the largest outreach event in the history of the Washington church of Christ took place. We recreated a scene from Jerusalem A.D. 33 in the car park of the church building. We built a façade for the temple, a market place, a well, and a city gate. In this recreated scene we brought to life the miracles and lessons from the life of Jesus. People were able to experience what it would have been like when Jesus healed the lepers, the blind man, and when he taught his parables. There were Roman soldiers, donkeys, sheep, coin-makers, gymnasts, scribes, bakers, cloth-makers, a sculptor, carpenters, lamp dealers, a potter, fishermen and more. Over 2000 people passed through our gate in 5 hours on this sunny Saturday afternoon. Some people from the local area told us that this was best thing that they had ever seen in their local village.
