I spent most of the day cutting fabric for the crafts which will be made by the mom's and grandma's who have signed up for the adult VBS class. They are making a different Christmas craft every day and the adult teachers are preparing a kit for each women each day.
Stephen spent time making buttons, helping wrap the props and decorations and loading them in Javier's truck and then unloading everything at Javier's house. We also finished up the translator/gringo assignments and made the maps/visual aids which will be posted at the registration desk.
Among other things, yesterday we did shopping for the snacks and for the prizes which will be given away during the closing session each day.
Today there were 14 people here for lunch and 8 of us at dinner time. So in the midst of all the work, Rosemary stops and makes lunch for everyone.
It's amazing to work along with the people from the church here. They have a heart for kids and VBS is a great way to reach children and their parents.
The team from Bakersfield arrives tonight; the rest fly in tomorrow. The Salvadorans are leaving from the church in San Salvador at 8:30 in the morning. Everyone should be here in time for orientation before the evening campaign tomorrow afternoon.
Prayer requests:
1. Kids and parents to respond to the gospel message presented in the music, Bible verses and Bible stories in VBS.
2. Endurance for the workers--it will be a tiring week
3. Divine appointments during the evening campaign and an overwhelming response to the gospel that can only be explained by God's unmerited favor.
