VBS and Sports were ministry tools we used to get the know the people of Roatan. The first morning we had 275 children show up for Bible School...yes 275!!! We were prepared for 75, but our team pulled things together and God helped us make sure every child participated. The numbers dropped the following days, but we still averaged around 145 children each day. We sang songs, told Bible stories, performed dramas, colored pictures and made crafts. The children loved it! The Sports team met with children on the beach for football, soccer, whiffle ball, and games. I heard great reports from this group. Many young men accepted Christ and began sharing with thier friends and family.
As we made friends during the morning, we also made appointments for the afternoon. After lunch our teams would go into the Colonia and visit those we had met during the morning activities. This allowed us to get to know the people in their homes and to share with them our good news on a more personal level. We were blessed to see God using our young people to reach others for Christ. God blessed this trip and our team! More later...
