VBS in the village

VBS in the village

Pastor john , whom we have worked with for 3 years has a beautiful philosophy of ministry... The church is to care for the orphans in Uganda....

So he builds a church with an orphanage attached to it.... 

He has done that 15 times...

The kids playing duck duck chicken and hot potato:). 

In the far background, You can see the village women filling up water from the new well, installed within the past year:). What a blessing to the community!  

It's dancing time:)

3 orphanages were brought together for our day of VBS... Totaling about over 80 kids when you included the village kids:) 

Everyone was anxious to get inside and get started.... They knew there were balloons to pop... about 125 of them... That was a noisy, but really fun 5 minutes:)

We sang, danced, and gave lots of hugs!

My sweet Lawrence... My little buddy each time I return...

The teens told the story of David and Goliath... Focusing on the giants in our lives and how with God all things are possible... 

There are a lot if giants in the life of an orphan...  Can you imagine?   loneliness, fatherlessness, hunger, danger, sickness... I could go on and on... 

Thank The Lord for Pastor John and the care they provide for all of these kids... 

And most importantly, they are taught about Jesus, discipled, and raised up to be leaders Barack in their communities...

Bubbles for everyone...

And a very small toy for each to keep and play with as well...

Isn't she precious... Little grace, the smallest child at the 3 orphanages... 

The way she clung to all the older girls totally reminded me of my Anna and Isaiah...

It was a long day of VBS... But a beautiful day...

When we returned home it was off to the baby home to feed, change and put little ones to bed:)
