Well another summer has come and gone (at least down here in south Mexico) and that means that another year of Vacation Bible School has passed us by. This year we were involved with two different VBS and actually there is a possibility that a third could happen but we shall see. Since we have been here in Teopisca, it is the fourth year that we have been involved with VBS (2007 - we arrived in June, 2008, 2009, 2010)
We picked up anywhere between 15 and 27 kids every day for the VBS. Some of these children go to our church but many of them do not. For some of them it was their first VBS but others have been before. Please continue to pray that no matter where theses children are at in their life journeys, that they will all come to worship at the feet of our dear Savior.
No church van, but this will have to do!!!!!
The crew during the first week of VBS...
These pics are from the VBS about "The Life of Paul"....
Every afternoon we would start the school with the pledges to the Mexican flag, the Church flag and the Bible...
Some of the crafts and art that the children took part in...
The second VBS was not as formal (meaning not as many stage props) but nonetheless the children heard the word of God...the word of God that changes life!
Sarah and I were more involved in this VBS as we taught almost all of the curriculum...including puppets, Bible story and Bible questions! Just a little harder this year as we had two little ones to deal with...
Crafts for the kids...
Mom, Joshua and Caleb hanging out...
Joshua helping out with the singing...
And Joshua getting a gift for bringing the second most kids with him to VBS...
We left to take the children back to their houses and as we dropped off the last 5 kids at the top of the mountain, we saw this amazing rainbow as we drove back down...what a great two weeks...
Graduation...about 70 attended this VBS
