Friday

VBS has gone great. The children are having their first experiences with VBS. They are laughing and singing and have heard the gospel. Jenny said yesterday, "I don't think we could have been more intentional with the gospel. " That is a win.

The men need your prayers today especially. They stayed late at the school yesterday and feel they will need to rewire an entire building today. They can not do this alone and need God's help and strength. Pray for safety as they are working with electricity. They were able to rewire the kitchen, build shelves, doors, redo a window and paint. All wins.

Today is a full day. We will have VBS this morning. Then we will have an American lunch of hot dogs! Next parents will come at 1:30 and we will have the opportunity to share the gospel again. Also this afternoon the older classes will play a softball game for us with their donated equipment from Westwood. It has been really neat to see our church in places down here. The messenger bags many of you donated are still being used today.

Then at the end of the day we will follow the children home and deliver food. Many of the children and adults on this team have never seen this kind of poverty. I am told even the poverty we have seen on the side of the road does not compare. Pray for the team - Michael prayed last night that we would be completely worn out at the end of this day. That we will give everything we have and let their be nothing left. Pray as we say until we meet again and our hearts break we know that we are leaving them in God's hands. He will never abandon them. He is their light in this darkness. He is the food for their soul. He is thier living water.

When we dirve away today, I will hear them singing in my head...

"Everything's allright, Everything's okay, I've got Jesus in my life!"
