June 23 – We are having a great week in St. Lucia. We have been working in the main town square doing a vacation bible school. On Monday things started out a little slow but within 20 minutes of turning on the music we had about 200 kids. These kids were so amazing. We have played a ton of games, had a great bible time, music, and lots of rec. The kids have been so open to the gospel this week. One thing that was amazing was how many adults have stayed and watched and laughed at the program with the kids. It has give us the opportunity to really show the community how much we love and care for them. We will finish our VBS Wednesday with a block party and tons of face paint, candy and many other things. Please pray that we will be able to share with a lot of adults during the party.
During the week we also got the opportunity to share with the Serving Souls part of our ministry. Monday there were a few kids that came that were not wearing shoes. This morning some of the team packed shoes and when we got to the site the team sought out the kids from the day before. After they found the kids they took them to the van. They sat the kids into the back of our van and began to wash the kids feet and love on them. One of the kids took the dirty wet wipes and started to clean the rest of his legs. It made me think has this kid ever seen a wet wipe before? After thinking about it I figure they probably never have. It was so cool. This one little boy got his new shoes and went over beside the van where he thought no one could see him. He looked down at his shoes then he jumped up onto the sidewalk. Then he smiled and felt his shoes. He then jumped on and off the curb about 5 or 6 times to test them out. It was so cool. I guess today I started to see what God is doing with us here!
God just continues to blow us away with new doors being opened and people wanting to get involved with our ministry. We started a drive on Facebook last week to get 1,000 prayer partners for our ministry. We are at 458 right now. We would love to have you and your friends to join us. Please get online and invite all of your friends. Please pray for us as Riverdale will be leaving on Thursday morning and the Sonlight puppets will be here Thursday afternoon. We are so excited. These guys will perform all next week and we will see over 2,000 kids in 6 days. Please pray for energy for us and for the teams. God is giving us a lot of opportunities and we want to be fresh and ready each and every day.
I hope you are having a great week. Please do not forget to go online and invite your friends to join our prayer group and also check out the pictures on our website.
