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.

How in the world do I choose a photo from August 2009? Ten years ago this month we were touring around Ontario, Canada. We had the privilege of seeing so many people – family and friends – — I thought about making a huge grid of them all, but surely I would leave people out. We are really looking forward to visiting Ontario again – Lord willing He will provide a way!
Anyway, I finally decided on a very Canadian picture. So – 10 years ago today we were in Moose Factory, in a teepee. That’s correct.
Here’s a map showing where Moose Factory is:
Anyway, outside the teepee a painted sign said,”FRESH BANNOCK ON A STICK PLAIN OR RAISIN $3.00 EACH”. Well, who can resist fresh bannock? So in we went – very smokey place, but of course that just adds to the flavour.
Thanks for your prayers for the first day of the VBS in Las Palmas! So far so good. I believe there were 53 kids there today – a great start and far more than last year. If we grow a bit through the week, we should be able to double last year’s number! Lots of great Bible teaching and talks today.
Anyway, I’m just swinging by to share a few pictures to prove that it’s really happening…
