I'm finally getting a chance to let you know how the VBS went at the dump a few weeks ago! I hope you're enjoying the photos above! It was an incredible week! The team did an awesome job of providing tons of crafts, puppets, games and gifts for the children. Close to 80 children, babies and adults showed up each day. A big THANK YOU to the team from Oakridge Baptist Church, St. Joseph, MI, for all you did to make this week possible! We appreciate you!
I think I'm speaking for everyone to say that the highlight was the last day when an invitation was given to those who wanted to accept Christ as the Saviour. They were asked to step out of the room and miss the craft time and talk to one of us about making a firm decision about asking Christ to be a part of their lives and to receive the gift of eternal life.
Would you believe that 20 children and adults made this decision? We were thrilled. The following week in our weekly Kids Club, we had a special time with them at the end in which we gave each of them a Bible and shared the importance of reading it and growing in their new life with Christ!
Please pray for these 20 children and adults who made decisions. Pray for us to seek ways to help them grow. One of the boys, named Henry, has been coming to the club off and on for the past three years. When we gave him his Bible, his sister mentioned that he doesn't know how to read. Please pray that God would give him extra grace as he seeks Him.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the photos above. You'll notice how nice our newly painted room looks - thanks to another team earlier in the summer for painting it for us (the roof still leaks though and a few windows are broken that we hope to fix before the summer is over!).
