We are ready for VBS to start tomorrow!
The first of our five-day VBS at the Contreras Church in Mexico City is tomorrow morning. We are preparing for a contingent of kids that numbers 100+ to descend on the church this week.
The theme is a roller coaster theme with subtitle something like "get rid of your fear; trust in God." The Bible verses cover the life of Paul, starting with his blindness and conversion tomorrow (Acts 9).
Our team is excited for our first day to interact with the kids. This is a great group that has really gelled and enjoys each other's company a lot.
Today, we split up and attended church services at the Contreras church where we'll have VBS and the Ocotal church higher up the mountains. Afterward, we helped prepare Contreras for the influx of kids by washing chairs, hanging up decorations, cutting out tickets and moving tables. Lunch was delicious chicken, rice and enchiladas (you know you're jealous!).
Afterward, we were blessed to travel with David and his daughter Maria Jose to Coyoacan, a little town within the enormous city for a little sight-seeing and some ice cream and churros. We finished the day with a quick trip to a mall near our home and a really nice debriefing and prayer time.
I feel like The Lord has prepared this team well and that we're ready to go love on the children of Mexico City tomorrow!
More updates tomorrow (hopefully). Please pray for children to come, for their hearts to be opened to hearing the gospel and for us to be able to hear the Lord's leading and guiding.
