VBS






VBS

So a few weeks we held a VBS at they church for our neighbor kids from 9-11 every day of the week and at the end of the week they presented what they learned.

We had crafts, fun and games, a snack, music and a clips of movies.

The thing that blows my mind is the parents just let their kids go. I was out inviting all the kids I saw to come to our VBS. Some of the parents asked where it was going to be at and others just said bring them back when it is done.

The first day we had 20 kids and the rest of the week we had 15 or 17 kids.

Even after the VBS most of the kids come to church every Sunday to participate in Sunday School.

So now all the kids in the neighborhood know the “Gringos” that live here. They say hi to us as we walk by and when they come to church they always make a point to say hi.

Granted it is easier to get kids to come but they are just the start. They go home and tell their parents what they learned and hopefully it will encourage them to come to church and get saved.

We just decided to start with kids and poco a poco their parents will come. Its just a different way to plant the seed.
