Its vbs time! I've been seeing different  friends posting pictures of their children in their vbs and all the nice activities they did! Some more elaborated than others but all very nice! Down here in Bolivia we just finished our vbs! The children down here didn't get to take pictures with posters of animals of some animated movie, or didn't get to wear nice tshirts with the  name of their church! The children down here didn't get to do all the nice things churches in America do! It was all very simple! 

Most of the children are from " Barrio Lindo" a poor neightborhood close the the TV channel! Most of the kids that came are not Christian, and most of them come from dysfunctional families! These Children spend most of the day by themselves in the streets without adult supervision.

They were very excited to come each day! There were four cold and rainy days and they still showed up!
We started the program with songs, prayer and a bibles story! The theme was the armor of faith! It was nice to see them repeating the bible verse! Then we did a very simple water based experiment! They played a games, ate a small snack and did a craft!

I got the change to record all the activities each day, ant Becky had asked me to do a little video of the program!
On Friday I decided I was going to interview them and asked them a few questions! It was nice to hear from the children how much they liked this experience. One of the questions was; who have they told about the vbs? All said something different but 2 children touched my heart. One said "I only told my mom because my dad never pays attention to me" and the other boy said " I don't tell my dad or my mom, they don't care"  

It really broke my heart to see how the enemy is destroying the future of society, they future of this children!
This kind of activities where they can learn about Jesus are very important for this children!
Please I ask you with all my heart to pray for this children! They need to learn about God before the enemy takes them into more suffering and misery!

Every Wednesday and Sabbath afternoon the children come to the clinic (this is were we did vbs and usually do the bible studies) to learn more about our savior, so this vacation bible school is not only where they can learn. These same children are the ones who also come to bible studies. 

The link below will take you to see the small video I made!
