Our team had a lot of fun with the kids at VBS. The team had to make a few adjustments to fill in for the people who stayed home. Jake had the privilege of leading the kids in singing “12 Men Went to spy on Canaan.” We never knew he was so talented.
We scheduled an uneventful afternoon so our team could rest. The ambitious ones went to a park on the Sandy River to go swimming. At 5:00, we all had a BBQ at the house where the girls are staying. We were all blessed by Corbett hospitality. They even made home-made ice cream.
Our evening work projects were painting the Jr High room at the church and sweeping the parking lot. The ceiling of the Jr High room was dark blue. I (Pastor Mark) remember spending hours painting that ceiling blue sometime in 1997. It was somewhat ironic that I would be part of painting it white again.
Our plan for Thursday afternoon is to finishing the painting project and put up some more signs advertising for the CityFest event. Keep praying for the team to stay healthy for the rest of the trip and for opportunities to share the gospel.
