Today was another great day at VBS!  When I woke up I was convinced that recreation would be outside.  When I got to church I realized rec had to be inside.  A little while later it seemed as if rec would be outside.  Well then the sky opened up and rec was officially moved inside.  We had lots of people praying for us through that storm.  The blessing of the storm was that those children who would have missed out on today’s fun due to swimming lessons where indeed able to join us!  God answered our prayers and kept us safe through the very dark storm.

God also answered our prayers in a BIG way when it came to our materials.  With so many children joining us we called CPH who produces the materials and ordered more to be overnighted to us.  They told us the materials would arrive by 10:30 this morning.  We really needed those materials by 9:55.  Sure enough, 9:35 the materials arrived.  Thank you God!

Here are just a few pictures of what happened in our “hive” as the children learned that Jesus does big things.  Our Bible story was John 6:1-15 where Jesus fed over 5,000 people.

The younger children painted these large fish beads and made these necklaces.  For some little fingers it can be hard to string those beads but they did a great job!

The older children painted these wiggly fish. 

Each day the Bible is told at a Storytelling Station.  The older children see a drama put on by our ama-zzzing drama team each day.  Yesterday the drama team used a dress-form that was dressed up as a person as one of their props.  The “audience” only saw the person from behind and it really looked real (it scared me so many times on Sunday).  Today the person surprised all of the children by coming to life.  They didn’t expect that!  Who would have thought a person was in there.

The drama ended with the children learning a new chant (this is just part of it).

We continue to collect money for the Children of Israel Orphanage.  Yesterday we collected $59.60 and today we collected $187.23.  Look how full our honey pot is getting!

And today’s attendance was-

Praise the Lord!  Please continue to pray for us.  Pray for great weather, safety, and that Christ is glorified in all that we do.
