Preparing for VBS

Since our last post we have been focusing a lot of our attention on the church in south. There is currently one family attending and in efforts to help the church grow we have started going down every saturday passing out flyers inviting people out to services. The community the church is in is a largely hindu community. This Saturday we are planning on having a street service. When we went to the Debe area to find a location for the service we found this parking lot outside of a grocery store and off to the corner is a large space which is right across from a lot of the food vendors. The building is for sale so we called the number of the owner and asked him if we would be able to have a service in his parking lot and he was fine with it and is even going to come out to make sure we can get hooked up with some electricity inside one of the buildings. That just doesn't happen in a Hindu community like that. We could really use your prayers for this service. People from all of the other U.P.C. churches in Trinidad are coming out for this service to help us. I am so excited to see what God has in store.
In just a few weeks we start VBS. It is a lot of work Joseph and I and a girl named Kim ,who was down here on YOM last year, will be working at every church running their VBS Program. I am more than willing to help and do my best to come up with ideas, but I have never ran or even been directly involved in VBS. This will be a very new and interesting experience. The theme is The Great Treasure hunt. I have been working on songs, games, and crafts. Kim has a book with the different lessons, Joseph has been doing the promotion. He has made flyers that look like treasure maps. Joseph and I have also started a rather large project of making a treasure chest pinata for each VBS and there are 5 possibly 6 in total. I will be sure to put some pictures up so you can see what I am talking about. I am sure it will be a great time for the kids.
We have been praying for everyone back home. I have been keeping up to date with Pentecostal Temple and Life Connections from their websites and I hope and pray for great revivals there.
