Last night of VBS

Pricila, Bethany, Nahuel and Nehemiah were the verse winners for the week.
Brandon and Kaitlin after helping to pass out 500 fliers.
BananaMan the hero of the story!!! The kids adored him and he may just well become a part of every skit from now on.
Seba preaching the last service.
Alejandra teaching the 8-11 year olds.
Seba, VBS director, being a GREAT sport with the wet sponge throw in the fair.
Sylvia and Lidia (and Pablo in the opposite corner) frying Torta Fritas for the Friday night snack.
Amparo teaching the 5 to 7 year olds about the wordless book.
Nicolas teaching the 5 year olds their verses.
David and Kaitlin teaching songs.
After the fun fair carnival.
A couple of pirates.
First day registration.
Skit actors.
Almost all of the workers.


Several weeks of preparation...hundreds of copies...1700 fliers passed out...109 different children...67 new children...40+ completely exhausted workers...close to 300 verses said...7 new songs for the kids to learn...838 pesos in the offering ($37)...a few visiting parents...over 30 decisions...and a lot of fun in the carnival!!! All of this is the result of weeks of preparation and hard work. We praise the Lord for His work and His fruit!

Thank you all so much for praying for this week! We were praying for 100 kids. We were hoping that we would have those 100 in one night, but God decided 109 different children was a better idea! It was definitely more than what we asked for.

The workers did a fabulous job. All of them were learning new things all week long. Next year can only be better!

Banana Man has me cracking up. Hope that's ok! The rest is very cool, though.

I really want to do a highlights of the skit video of just BananaMan, because he was a riot! So it's good that he's cracking you up.
