God has really been honoring our efforts here. Yesterday we had 30 kids. Today we had more than 50 kids And they told us to expect 20 more tomorrow. It is fun to see the kids smile and have so much fun. We are told that a VBS event like this that focuses on the kids is very unique here. Even only on the second day, the kids seem to know the songs, and do the actions with us. But what is best, is to talk with the kids (through a translator) about stories from the Bible. The theme of our VBS is Odiseas en el Mar (that's Odysseys in the Sea). Today it was about how Jesus calmed the storm.
The church told how recently someone has donated a large amount to the church, so that they can extend their building. So with the sidewalk by the kids building being done, we are going to continue to dig next to the church building so that they can expand it soon. It is much harder than it sounds, has we have to use heavy metal chippers to break the ground and rock to dig.
Please continue to pray that the team continues to bond well, and that even with fatigue we can be good examples of Christ.
Pray also for clarity of mind so that we can focus on God's Word and truth as we give our Bible lessons.
In His Strength,
Grace Costa Rica Team
