First day of VBS

We had a wonderful and very full day today.  We started off like we have the past two days, beginning our work at about 8:00am. Today we worked on the work projects until noon and then began to prepare for our VBS program.
Kids started coming at about 2:45 and by 3:30 there were about 100 kids in attendance.  We divided them in three groups and rotated them between Bible story, craft and games. They will be coming again tomorrow afternoon and we are expecting more.

In the evening we attended the Friday night service of the nearby towns church.  It was a great time and one of the young people preached a message that was very touching to all of us.  He spoke about how our groups from the US had impacted his life through the VBS programs and how El Refugio has continued to impact his life for Christ.  He challenged us to keep planting the seeds because God is using us the spread His love and reach people for Him.

Thank you for your prayers, God is working in our lives and giving us opportunities to plant seeds for him.
