The VBS mission fund for this year was to the Education Gift Fund for the O'umpa school in PNG! This fund is used to help pay for the PNG national children to attend school, which isn't free.
Each day of the week, our family presented to the kids a little something about; Papua New Guinea, the importance of people learning about Jesus and having God's Word in their heart language, and what our role will be while we live in Ukarumpa working with SIL and Wycliffe.
At the end of the week, the VBS kids (and parents) raised $676.56! What an incredible blessing this will be to the children of the O'umpa school or whichever school benefits from the fund this goes to.
Special thanks go to Mrs. Stromberger, Mrs. Moos and all the other incredible volunteers who make VBS such a special week. It really does make a difference in the kid's lives!
Our little Kiery, 6yrs old, came home from the second day of VBS and said, "Daddy, I don't remember when I asked Jesus into my heart." I said, "Would you like to ask Him into your heart again right now?" She said yes, but she wanted to find a special place to do it. So we walked around the house but couldn't find a place special enough, so we just ended up doing it in the dining room. We wrote in her Bible the date that she rededicated her life to Jesus. Thank you all so much for bringing the gospel to these children! May the Lord bless you with Grace and Peace (1 Cor. 1:3)
