We spent the morning interacting with about 15 children with face painting, teaching them how to make balloon animals and playing games. We were waiting for the leader of the VBS. Later in the morning, we had learned that he had car trouble and was not going to be there for the day.
We had lunch at Casa Loney which was cooked on a wood stove. The lunch consisted of Ramon noodles with carrots, celery and chicken.
After lunch, we had over 30 children color, make bead bracelets and performed a Bible story with the children.
The bead bracelets consisted of 5 beads; black - sin, red - blood of Christ, white - cleansing of our sins, green - growth in Christ and yellow - Heaven. We performed the story of Moses delivering the Israelite's from the Egyptians. We used members of our team to be the characters; Pharaoh, 2 soldiers, 2 Israelite's and Moses. The children participated unknowingly as being the Red Sea. When the story came to the point of crossing the Red Sea the children in the audience parted in the middle and the Israelite's crossed on dry land. When the Pharaoh and his soldiers started to cross through the sea, the children closed in around them and Pharaoh with his soldiers were lost in the sea of children.
After a homemade pizza for dinner, we went to church to share a sermon and faith story at the Wednesday night service. Linda shared her faith story and I prepared a sermon, shared the Ephesians 5 passage and we did the "field of temptation" activity.
Denice, Danielle and Marie went downstairs and provided a program for them. We prayed over 4 teen age girls as they recommitted their lives to Christ. The pastor spent some time with us after the service to give us a tour of the church.
