On Monday morning, we loaded up the bus with coffee, juice and donuts and headed to the local Welfare Office. This ongoing ministry of WCBC seeks to show the love of Christ to people in a practical way. The most practical way to do this at the Welfare Office is to give free coffee, juice and donuts to the people who sit in the waiting room, often for hours. When asked why we were giving coffee and donuts away for free, we had the opportunity to share that Christ's love is free and there is nothing we can do to earn it or pay for it. One man walked over to our table and pulled out his wallet. We shared with him that we would not accept money (even a donation to the church) because we were there to share Christ's love which is free. He agreed and accepted a cup of coffee.
In the evening, we had our second night of VBS. The kids again enjoyed "riding on the Boomerang Express." We greeted lots of familiar faces and welcomed several newcomers. Our total for the night was 28 kids. Just three nights to go, and we pray that God will continue to prevail over Satan and provide opportunities for us to show His love to the children.
