VBS

Vacation Bible School started on Monday! The theme for the kids is Avalanche Ranch, and the adults are studying the Mosaic covenant. The first night had a wonderful turnout. We had almost 30 kids and a packed room of adults. A lot of the kids were older (13-16), which is a little different than what was expected, but they seemed to really enjoy everything. The theme for the night was “God is real.” Along with the teenagers, there was also an adorable one year old, who kept me company for the night. J

Tuesday evening we saw even more people come, and had another great time. Jim said he rarely sees some of these kids smile, and it was so cool to see them smiling and laughing and having a good time.

Please keep this ministry in your prayers!

Wow!!! What a wonderful gift you are to the kids. Even if they are a little older.........it's never to late to learn!!

I'm so happy that God sent such a large group, He will never give you more than you can handle.

Ellie your always smiling, and your eye's sparkle. The kids can see God through you.

I wish I could be there with you, my grandparents are from Italy.

Keep up the wonderful ministry of God. Your always in my thoughts and prayers.

In Him
