VBS 2019 Ends

Is it just a week of over-stimulation, or a reminder to pray? I close my eyes and I see the faces of the kids who came to the VBS in Las Palmas this past week.

Santiago, Zuri, Emi, Donovan, Sara, Logan, Ismael, Mario, Les – there were 70 or more in all. Many from very difficult backgrounds, dealing with very difficult situations. The vast majority no Christian and with very little contact with the Church.

Well, it is a good time to pray. There were many opportunities to share the gospel throughout the week, both through the official teaching times, Bible memory, and group and one-on-one conversations. And that includes not just kids and youth but adults as well. Many seeds were planted.

We praise the Lord for the help of many local believers, and for the help of the team from Hope Community Church. Events like this can bear fruit for years to come, and we pray that that will be the case here. That fruit is not only the community outreach, but the growth of believers as they learn to serve the Lord in new ways!

The team was also involved in other activities during the week. An event to provide hearing aids and reading glasses to some seniors in need, English classes, a basketball tournament. And the important ministry of spending time with lots of people all throughout the week.

Thanks for your prayers!
