vacaciones útiles

These next few weeks two of our churches are doing something similar to VBS. They call it "vacaciones útiles" This means useful vacations. Being that here the children are on summer vacation they are having several days a week of teaching english, math, drawing music as well as bible classes. Please pray that these children will be drawn into the body of Christ through this.  

Christ's Kids is doing this in our church in Christ the Restorer in Arévalo Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons.

Christ the Redeemer is also doing this in their church in Parque Industrial Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

This is also following up an excellent week of summer camp, Noah's Ark, that was January 1-5, where many children received a gift of their very own bible. This was put on by folks from Twin Lakes in Mississippi and Point Pleasant in Georgia. Many of the children that attended camp are coming to the church for Sunday School and are participating in these VBS programs.

Just last Sunday one little child came beaming up to Megumi, with his backpack on just in time for Sunday School in Arevalo. He said, "Guess what I have in my backpack?"  Meg responded, "a toy car?" "a robot?" The child said, "nope." And unzipped his backpack slowly revealing his brand new Jesus Story Book Bible. Meg was almost left in tears with joy for his excitement and asked him if he had read it and he said that he had read some of it.

We continue to ask for prayer for impacting grace through the members of our church.
