VBS is over. The last day was yesterday, Friday. It was an awesome day. The last day is always busier, because it goes longer, therefore he part of the program goes a little lone. Plus we give the kids and their moms a full lunch. We gave them hot dogs, potato salad and potato chips. They really enjoyed it.
Also, it was the last day of the creation week, so we went over the creation of man. We were blessed to have sensei give the lesson. He not only went over the creation of man, but the fall and redemption. When we had asked him to do it early, he said “great, you guys get to talk about Creation and I’ll talk about the Fall of man…” He said he’d throw in redemption to end on a happier note. Many of the mothers had questions so it was a great time to witness to them.
For the craft we had the kids make shirts. They placed their hands in paint then placed them on the shirts to get hand prints. We then wrote on the shirts God Made Me and Genesis 1.27. They loved it! It got a little crazy, but in the end it came out great. God is so good! Oh and we had about 22 kids too. So we ended with a good amount and some said they would be back next year. Unfortunately we do not know if there is going to be a next year… We’ll see what the Lord has in store for the program.
Afterwards Yoshie treated Isaiah and I to coffee at Starbucks and we discussed Okutama Bible Chalet. One program ends and another one begins. We are headed out today to Okutama Bibe Chalet, about an hour from the church to help a camp that is run by Send International. We have 16 junior highers, not too many and they’re older, which should be a bit easier. However they arrive today (Saturday) at 3pm. The camp is 4 days and there’s much to do, so prayer will be much appreciated. I will try to keep you posted. Oh and I will be working on dessert here for the wedding we are having at the church next Saturday, August 4th.
Thank you all again for your prayers for VBS, it was a hit, a lot of work but well worth it.
