We had an incredible first night of Vacation Bible School tonight! We registered 147 in attendance! Five years ago our church was down to a one day Bible School with very few children. It is amazing what God can do when we get serious about His Kingdom Priorities. Two years ago we decided to reintroduce a 7th to 9th grade youth class. The first night we had four or five kids and the class grew to about 10 by the end of the week. Tonight we had 22 young people in that class. They were excited about VBS and their teachers had a blast working with them. I can't begin to thank every one enough for all the hard work that will go into this week. Just remember that this is our Jerusalem. It is the front line in our mission strategy. Acts 1:8 says, " But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Pray that God will add to His Kingdom this week, as we seek to lay up some treasure in heaven!
I'm very excited about VBS this week!! I was nervous, but after tonight I'm super excited to be working with the 7th, 8th and 9th graders!!
