While the men and Betty Lynn continued to work on the construction, Heather, Francis and Claire prepared and taught Vacation Bible School. One day Claire shared the story of Noah and the Ark. The children were called to be the two animals in the story. Two by two they walked up on the stage to play their part. We claim Claire was the one who brought the flood water from her telling of the bible story Noah and the Ark. One afternoon they were given a cross to keep in their pocket as a reminder of what Jesus died and did for each of us who are Christians. Heather worked very hard to get the VBS put together for the children of El Carrizo and it was a huge success. On Sunday morning Francis gave her personal testimony and sang for the congreation. Pastor Chris then led the service preaching on Christ is our only way to Heaven. During worship the children went to Sunday School and returned at the end of the service to share what they had learned in Sunday School. The children of Honduras know their bible verses. It is always refreshing to see them recite them. What was most impressive is the number of teenagers who were reciting their bible verses. They are the future of our churches.
Jesus said to them,"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 9:14-16
