This picture is a great visual for how much fun we are having leading the children in VBS! Our story yesterday was David and Goliath. The kids absolutely loved seeing us try to capture just how big Goliath was. My favorite part of the day was hearing our translator give voice to Goliath, and Logan trying to mouth the Creole words as if she was the one saying them. It felt like I had stepped into a bad Japanese Godzilla movie. Too funny!

This video gives you a little glimpse into our worship time with the teens and young adults. Our students continue to talk about how powerful it is to worship with people who don't speak the same language as we do. Different language. Same passion to worship the Lord. In our time with the students we talked about how what we believe to be true about Jesus influences how we handle challenges. Very cool to hear from each other about various challenges and how we are learning to trust God more and more as He proves again and again that He is trustworthy. One young woman shared how she had been sick for weeks with a lot of pain through her abdomen. She didn't have money to go to the hospital so she prayed for God to heal her. One night she had a dream that someone opened her chest, removed the pain, and then taped her back together. When she woke up she had no more pain and hasn't had any since that night. God is our Healer! Some of our students shared some struggles as well and talked about how various things in their lives have strengthened their faith.

Today we are sharing the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego with the children. Our craft is making mirror frames. With the teens this afternoon we are talking about deception and also about how to live in this culture as a woman/man of God. Looking forward to a great day!

More tomorrow!
