VBS Day 1

We had our first day of VBS yesterday.  This year we are doing VBS in Vibity first, so that is a little different from last year.  We had about 35 kids including a couple of new children, but we also had some parents and one retired Air Force captain join us which was such a blessing!  We are hoping to get to work on the Soltsi church today with whatever work they have for us to do after we finish VBS.  Stan taught the story of the Israelites Crossing the Jordan River and this year we added a missions segment to the VBS program.  Mike spoke about missionaries and what they do and encouraged the kids to become missionaries locally by telling their friends about Jesus.  It is always amazing and humbling to see God using us to do His work!  


Crafts!

Thankfully the weather is cooler than it was last year!
