Over the Hump

Another wonderful day at VBS.  Today, we learned about Jesus' obedience to his Father in dying the death that his people deserved.  Please pray that the children who heard will have their hearts impressed by the Holy Spirit.

We had another providential meeting this afternoon.  After we played some very hot frisbee during which we didn't attract any attendees, we moved to the area of Cherry Park that is hosting our VBS in the mornings.  Despite their fatigue, our team took the initiative and invited some of the kids hanging around the park to join us for some wiffleball.  From this invitation, we were able to speak to a kind Mormon lady.  She was happy to hear of our Christianity, but also happy to tell us that our religion was incomplete without the additional revelation to which her sect holds.  After she told us that she was a Christian who believed in the Bible (but had "moved on" to Mormonism), we were able to share Revelation 22 with her, which clearly argues that the Bible is complete, and anyone who subtracts from it or adds to it will be cursed.  She didn't seem to have thought that one through.  While she continued on to give us some more facts about the LDS, hopefully the Holy Spirit can use that one little conversation to plant a seed of doubt in her mind.  Pray for her and the teenage girls with whom she was spending the day.

Hill City once again reached out to us this evening, hosting us for a bonfire and some s'mores.  We have felt a true sense of partnership with their church this week.

Tomorrow is our last day of VBS!  We will close the week with our normal program, and a cookout for the kids who attend.







Finally, here's our team's summary of the day in one word:
