We completed the remaining elementary classes this morning by sharing the story of David and Goliath. The children were offered the opportunity to accept Jesus after the explanation of the gospel. They made a craft and were given a bead bracelet.
The high school kids played wiffle ball with us by one classroom at a time. Afterwards the principal of the school assembled all the students along with our team and expressed his gratitude for us.
We finished our ministry at the high school this week. We also finished all the 5th and 6th grade classes too. We shared the story of David and Goliath, but the emphasis was placed on sin as our giant. We shared the bridge between God and man through the cross. Jesus is the only way and it is through grace and nothing we can do on our own to earn our way to heaven.
We had an english class and an activity that we placed small poster board material on the floor that represents sins. Two people work together to navigate through the field of temptations with one of them blindfolded.
We completed the elementary school today, grades k-6. We have only 2 remaining high school classes tomorrow afternoon. Since we are done with the classroom ministry, we are playing organized games with the elementary children. We are also finishing up on the service projects too.
We talked about search and rescue from a physical sense, but tied it into spiritual for the lost. We then had dinner and drive home in the pouring rain.
Our R&R started out at the overlook in Antigua. The team was able to spend some time doing some shopping before we had an amazing dinner at La Estancia.
