From July 28 - August 4, a team of 11 kids and 4 adults traveled halfway across the United States of America to help run and assist with a Vacation Bible school program @ Friend Christian Assembly in Friend, Nebraska. On Sunday morning Pastor Dave had the opportunity to preach a message and we began our VBS at 9 am the very next morning. The VBS program ran from Maonday through Friday from 9 am to 12 pm and we had about 35 + kids attend this fun week. On Wednesday night our team had the privilege of ministering to the Youth Group which they call Elevate. Magic Vinny used his creative gift of magic and illusions and spoke on masks that we wear. He also did a message using a straight jacket, which he escaped out of. Vinny and Pastor Dave shared briefly and a altar call was given. The altars were flooded with young people wanting to seek God and be closer to Him!
Our VBS concluded on Friday with a mini-Closing Program where the kids had the opportunity to sing songs they learned at music time. The kids also had the opportunity during the week to hear a bible story, go to recreation and make crafts each day. Our team also helped paint the outside of a Thrift Store in 105 degree weather,, which took 2 days! Boy was it hot!!
Some of the fun things we did during the week were as follows
- Go to a Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game
- Go swimming at the Friend and Exeter community pools
- Go to the Homestead Museum
- Go to Lincoln and visit the Capital Building
- While we were in Lincoln, we went to an ice cream store that was absolutely fantastic!
