Last 2 Days

The missions trip is winding down after 3 weeks of teaching kids, house visitations, testimonies, and music evangelism. This past week has been more relaxed than our previous 2 weeks, but in a very different way. We are not doing street evangelism, but every morning we visit families of the students we had previously, and also some church families. It's been a great opportunity to invite the kids to the afternoon VBS, talk to the parents, and also share our testimonies in a more personal setting. A great thing about this community is that almost everything is within walking distance, and it's a small enough town that we often chance upon students we know while simply walking down the street.

In the afternoon we have the opportunity to play basketball with a student from the camp, Eden. He has been coming to the church every morning and staying until after VBS because he enjoys spending time with us so much! It's been such a great chance to integrate him into church life and introduce him to the YG kids here. Eden even went with us to the night market last night, and through him we've been able to play basketball with some of the other old students as well.

VBS in the afternoon consists of games, singing, a message, and crafts. It's from 3-5pm everyday and happens to fall in that time period where everyone is most tired, so it's a struggle to keep up our energy through it, but it's great seeing many of the same kids again!

At night Pastor Josh is leading a class that goes through the entire Old Testament and parts of the New Testament, from 7-9pm. The church has been very blessed through this class, and there is a great turnout. It's encouraging to see how excited the church here is to increase in their knowledge of God.

Tomorrow is our last day and we are doing all that we can to treasure these last hours here with this church. Thanks for reading!
