Today was our final day of classes for VBS, and it concluded very well. Three days in, it's fun to see just how well our students have connected with these kids...I can't count the number of ninos that were hanging on to our students today. We've been able to be a very active part of the program. This morning Nathan, Meghan, Molly, and Andrew preformed a drama for the students, and Anna shared a short devotional. Many of our students have also been involved with the puppet ministry. Everyone is doing such a great job with the opportunities that we are being given. Some VBS highlights are below...
After the conclusion of the VBS classes, the students played a big game of futbol in the street by the church. After that, the local youth group here took some time to teach our students a drama that they had recently learned. Adam and Nathan did a great job helping us navigate the translation, and it was tons of fun to see the groups sharing in ministry together. This afternoon we also had a neat time of spontaneous worship with a guitar in the stairwell. We would take turns singing a song in English and then they would sing it in Spanish, and then we'd all sing together. It was an awesome sound to hear.
Tonight, the youth group had a pizza and movie night, and we combined together with them to take part in it. As I've said already, it has been a lot of fun to watch how our groups have connected so easily. We watched the movie, "The End of the Spear", which is the story of Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, and other missionaries to South America who were martyred for their faith...very inspiring.
Tomorrow will be a bit different. We plan to head out for some sightseeing in the morning, and then we're off to the church to practice for the ministry on Sunday, which we will be VERY invovled in. Exciting things are happening.
