Hi all,
This is the first year that we run a 9am to 4pm all day VBS program, and we completed VBS Day 1.
Praise the Lord that all stations went well, and 126 out of 130 registered students showed up!
However, today actually started with some uncertainty. This morning, just as we got ready to welcome our students, the stage screen in the worship hall was stuck in place and didn't come down as expected when we turned on the power. Coworkers in the STM team and in Beirong tried every possible way but couldn't get it to work in time; luckily the background wall is white with a large cross in the middle, so students can still see the powerpoint slides, just a little bit unclear in some parts. This afternoon, I was told that TC "made" a screen by hanging a large piece of white clothes at the same spot as the screen, and it worked wonderfully for our closing program. Beirong's worship hall is 2-story high, so it feels like "mission impossible" to me when I saw the clothes hanging high up right there. But I know that for God, nothing is impossible.
This experience matches perfectly with the Bible Point we taught our kids today: when we wonder, we can trust Jesus! This morning, I was wondering whether the screen could be fixed in time or how the program would run without the screen, but with prayer we all had peace knowing that God is in control and that we can trust Him. I'm attaching a picture of the hand-made screen.
For tomorrow (Tuesday), we will continue our VBS Day 2 program.
Please pray for the following:
1. Pray that all the transitions will go more smoothly now that we have some experience with the whole-day program and the students.
2. Pray that students and crew leaders will continue to build up relationships.
3. Pray for the strength, wisdom and energy for all station leaders.
4. Pray for two people who would be willing to share their testimonies in our outreach program on Saturday.
Thank you to the ones who let me know that you're praying for us!
I was encouraged by those messages and I shared it with our whole STM team during our morning devotion today.
Keep them coming! We'd love to hear from more people!
Blessings,
Jenny
