First VBS in Sparks
The group last week from suburban Chicago, in addition to all the construction, also did the first ever VBS in Sparks affiliated with YLM. Only the kids who attend the year round schools were able to come, so the attendance was low, (19 was the highest), but all who came had a blast. And it laid the groundwork for those groups who would like to continue to work on this side over the summer. The group this week did a school kit distribution on Monday and gave out over 200 bags of school supplies. That should definitely help with attendance at future events as well. Pictures of that will come on the next blog. Enjoy the photos from last weeks VBS. The themes were Jesus as fisher of men, Jesus walks on water, and Jesus calms the storm. Have a fantastic week.

All the stuff in Sparks, and Erin's email that just arrived, are really GOOD news! I'm still hoping that things will improve in Juarez and that we can work over there this summer, but if that's NOT possible, it's GREAT to see the amazing opportunities in the El Paso area.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures, and am really excited that you and Erin and other mission people have found a welcome home in Sparks. God's work and His people are everywhere!!
