Today we took the VBS on the road Day3

Well, we packed up the VBS setup and our tools and headed for the orphanage! It was a great day. The men, and Nathaniel, buckled down on construction and managed to get the gas water heater hooked up,











set up the laptop that was donated for Fernando,

finish 3 bunk beds, and modify an office partition for Fernando.


I guess sometimes sitting around is ministry too. We needed a reliable vise!


The kids at the orphanage really enjoyed the day out at a facility that was loaned to run the VBS. They seemed to be experiencing a lot of things for the first time. Bouncy castles, sticker books.

Our kids, big and small, got to try traditional transportation








Pray as we head into the mountains around Paracho for the next three days. I will try to keep blogging but am not sure of access. If you don't hear from us pray for the team as they work in a third language and sleep on the floor of a small church, all sharing one toilet and shower! We're scheduled to be back on Thursday night.
Thanks for your prayers and your notes.

  1. Lord God, help the team accustomize to the language, as You are the God of all languages... be their cushion as they sleep on uncomfortable surfaces, their hands feet and words as they minister to You.

  3. Thanks for the updates and telling us of how God is protecting you and using you to share His word. We are praying for safety, health, good sleep, stamina and a good septic system : ) May God continue to bless you all as you travel into the beautiful mountain area.
