VBS

While out evangelising in the morning the different teams would invite the children to VBS that afternoon.  Each day their numbers would double.  They finally ended up with about 160 children by the last day.  Each day a different team member would do a bible story. Loren shared her favorite story from the bible about Esther.  That particular day the children got to make a crown to wear home.  While the story was being told in one SS room the craft was being done in another room and futbol was another group on the back side of the church.  Other bible stories shared that week were Zacchaeus, Feeding the 5000, The Lost Sheep and The Good Samaritan.  The group of children kept increasing to they finally kept the group in the sanctuary for the bible story and then went to different rooms for the craft and a coloring sheet.  One afternoon they added face painting to their agenda.  I have never seen so many excited children and adults who got their face painted with either a cross or a heart.  We had to recruite Orfilo, our groundsman to help out with the face painting.  There was five people face painting at one time.  Thank you Steve and Garry for the crowd control on this particular project.  The team participated in the singing each day and learned many Honduran children songs to take back with them to Monroe.  Watch out Monroe, NC.  Fun is ahead!!!! Thank you once again for four amazing translators who went beyond their call of duty.  Each lady has a special gift and they used it to the fullest this week. To God be all the glory for all things!!! God does not called the equipped HE equipps the called.
