A Great Week of VBS

Well, we're all glad that we had a great week of VBS, but we're quite tired! By the end of the week, we all are feeling a bit like this poor kangaroo (we had to reinflate him each evening before VBS). Although we're tired, we have several things to praise God for. I've already shared with you about William's salvation, and of course just one soul saved makes it all worth it. We are also very proud of the kids and leaders for raising over $100 to support a missionary in Rome, Italy. Her name is Heidi, and she is serving there as a journeyman. She has also served with WCBC as a summer missionary. As an incentive to give an offering, the kids were told that there would be a contest between the boys and girls. If the girls gave more money, Pastor Norm would get a pie in the face. If the boys gave more money, Mrs. Debbie would get a pie in the face. And if the total offering was more than $100, Norm and Debbie would both get a pie in the face.

Throughout the week, we had about 20-30 children each night. They were all well-behaved, which is another praise. Since we did not have to focus on behavior issues, we could spend more time with the kids loving them and showing them God's love.

Mrs. Debbie shared with us that there are a couple families who are very close to being reached by WCBC. Please pray for Brent's family, especially his mother, as WCBC continues to reach out to them. Also, pray for Hannah and Seth's mom and their family. They have been invited to church, and we pray that they would feel welcome and accepted at WCBC so that the Cannadas can reach out to them and minister to them.

We've been blessed to be a part of God's work this week, and we're thankful that he has used us. Thank you for your prayers for us and for WCBC this week.
