India Update Week 5

​Our team traveled over 1900 miles to two very remote villages up in the northern part of India in the state of West Bengal to conduct Kids Camp in two places with 58 kids gathering from three village churches in one place and 47 kids gathering from 2 village churches in another place. .

The children loved the story times and payed such keen attention to every story detail and the messages that we were teaching them.

The children along with the elders enjoyed the time of singing, as the team led them in interactive songs of praise and worship.

The younger children are listening to their teachers sharing interesting stories and enjoying fun activities.

The team had a completely worked out plan, material, and activities for the camp and they fabulously implemented it during the camp each day.

It was fascinating to see how they divided the whole group according to their ages for age specific activities and games.

All of the children who attended expressed that this camp was the most fun and educational experience ever of Vacation Bible School.

We have always struggled with our transportation when traveling as a team to the youth camps. On average we are a team of 10-12 people, plus luggage and camp materials requiring being packed into three small individual vehicles.

We have been seeking the Lord for a solution, and in our prayers God revealed that he would like to bless us with a 12-seater Traveler van. This will nicely fit all into one vehicle, saving us a great deal of expense. We are enthusiastically holding onto this promise!
