VBS

I've moved to the jungle for a couple weeks and have been helping to lead a Vacation Bible School in a village called Sappimah. Sappimah is inaccessible by automobile, so we walk 30 minutes each morning to reach the children. It's a beautiful walk through the jungle. In the middle we cross a bridge that consists of a couple logs and a few scrap slabs of wood. We were fortunate - since the "white people" were in town (us) - they added the extra slabs of wood. There are palm trees all throughout the forest and it rains every day - keeping us nice and cool.

So we have approximately 100 children between ages 4-11 that we're sharing Christ with this week and another 100 children next week! It's been incredible to meet them, teach them, laugh with them, and love them. Please pray with us that God will do a mighty work in their hearts!

Pray also for their health. Approximately 60% of these children are malnourished. Many are suffering from worms which quickly consume the little nutrition they are fed each day. Unfortunately, healthcare in this country is almost non-existant for even the "rich". I've been told there are as few as 32 doctors in the entire country. Crazy, right. So I can assure you these children need your prayers for their spiritual and physical health.

Thank you so much for praying!
