VBS day 3 Our Numbers Doubled!

Praise the Lord our numbers doubled! Monday we had 12 kids, Tuesday we had 9, and yesterday (Wednesday) we had 19 kids!! It was a wonderful day. What is really interesting is that most of the kids that are coming are coming from other cities. Even though we only passed out fliers in Tachikawa we are having many kids coming from elsewhere which is great. Because that means the word is traveling!

We had Christian woman who came from another city. She had call the day before saying she would bring about 10 kids, we were blown away. The next day she showed up with about that many kids and about 5 other moms. It was really awesome. Her children are fluent in English, so the English lessons don’t really pertain to them, but they had so much fun the first day and they said they would be back the next day and they would come with more kids. And they did! Thursday they were back and the two little girls brought their older brother as well.

But I don’t want to get ahead of myself here. Wednesday was really great. It was the fourth day of Creation, therefore the Sun and the Moon were created along with the stars. We bought fans from the 100 yen store and sided them with black paper leaving the back white. Therefore it portrayed day and night and they got to decorate them, they loved it! The snack was goldfish, what kid doesn’t like cheddar cheese crackers shaped like fish.

Anywho, Wednesday was an awesome day. To top it off we finished the evening what a wonderful prayer meeting at the church. Every Wednesday night at 7:30 pm a few gather to share, pray together, and Sensei gives a short lesson. It is a wonderful time of fellowship.
