First ever VBS in Sparks

As was mentioned in my previous entry, the group last week from St. Paul in Mt. Prospect, IL, recorded an important milestone in the life of the mission: the first ever VBS in Sparks. The event was held from Tuesday through Thursday, 1-3 pm, at the Socorro Ramirez Community Center, which is actually only a block away from the Morales's trailer. Although less kids came than we would have maybe liked (19 was the most on any given day), everyone who was there seemed to have a great time, and it definitely got our foot in the door for further outreach-related activities in the future. Yesterday already we did a health kit/school kit distribution, which we mostly advertised for at VBS so I was a little worried that not many people would show up, and the line was out the door. Maybe via the violence in Juarez, which has caused so many teams to switch their work project to El Paso instead of Mexico, God is opening a door to a brand new mission field right in our own backyard. Enjoy the photos!











Until next time, blessings!
