Hello From Chincha!

Children at VBS
Saturday was such a great day. We went to the church to have VBS 
with the kids. Rita told the story of Jonah and the whale. We sang
 "this little light of mine" and "Jesus loves me." it was such a 
great experience. After the lesson we did crafts with the fifty plus 
kids that showed up. The kids decorated fishes and crosses. Glitter was 
everywhere but the kids were having such a great time. We brought out
 bubbles and punchy balloons and the kids went wild. Pastor Pedro 
closed the VBS with a prayer and we cleaned up to leave. That afternoon 
we held an event for the teens from the surrounding churches. The local 
firemen came to teach the youth what to do in an emergency. This is the 
first of a series of classes the we supplied from them. 
We closed the evening with a birthday dinner for Beth. 
This was such a blessed day.   From Jessie reporting for the team :)

  1. Awesome pictures. Wish I could have been there! Looks and sounds like you all have been blessed by being in Chincha and I am absolutely certain your being there has been a blessing to them too! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us here at home. Blessings and peace to each and everyone one of you. Thanks again for being a blessing to others and being the hands and feet of Christ in Peru. Hugs and love always- a fellow VIM member that was there in thought and spirit. (Kathy Vaughan)

  2. Look at all those children! Amazing! God brings this team and they will come. I sense a real hunger and thirst for the things of God. May the children see Jesus in each of you and know HIs love though the care and instruction you provide.
