Yesterday Jesus League went to the autism center in the mourning and worked on painting the wall and posts. We got the majority of the wall done, as well as most of the posts, with the help of a few workers from the center, who volunteered to help us.
At our church site in Soli, we started our vbs. It went well. For our bible story, we did a skit on David and Goliath, comparing David to Captain America . To go along with the story we played a skill shot game where they had to throw a yarn ball in to increasingly smaller objects from farther away each time. As for the craft, we made paper plate shields. When playing the game and doing the craft, the adults and children participated. We had a lot of fun playing with the kids and building relationships.
We went to the center for autistic children. We met the director and her son, Ivan and got paint to paint the outside of the building.
Then we went to our second site, a church in Soli, 5 minutes from the build site. We connected with the pastor and brought him to the build site. He said a prayer for us and we stayed to help dig a trench. We went back to camp at 5pm.
Meet Antonio! He is one of the ninos from the build site. We love playing with him and can’t wait to include him in the VBS at the new church we have partnered with where the Jesus League is spending their afternoons.
Our park team, Addy, Stacy, Mady, Kelly, James, Matthew, Brandi, Harmony and Bethany, has been visiting with a Home for Disabled Men the past two days. Yesterday was their first time meeting them, and everyone got along extremely well. The men are a lot of fun, they love playing with balls and coloring. Today they shared our ministry with them and the men listened to the story of Esther, and colored some coloring sheets and the team had a very good time.
