Tuesday- 2nd day at Kid's Place March 17th

Today was a fun-filled second day at the Kid's Place. The smiling faces of the kids just filled the room with joy for God. They all want to learn more about Him.We started our day off with a devotional by Allen and a prayer together. This has become a very rewarding part of our day. An opportunity to share what is on our heart and bonds us even closer together. It also provides us an opportunity to prepare ourselves for the day ahead. Today, God tested our ability to be flexible and our patience. An additional 40+ children attend the VBS. We had to adapt on the fly to prepare more crafts, food and special treats for when the children left for the day.Our pride was also tested. We were asked to dance as a group in front of the children. It reminded me of a skit from Saturday Night Live. A bunch of Americans without any rhythm dancing to a song sung in Portuguese...you really had to be there. To say it was embarrassing is an understatement.After the vacation bible school and preparation for tomorrow, Lecio took us to the site of the future Kid’s camp. The land was formally the estate of a banker that was purchased by Volunteers for Christ approximately 4 years ago. Volunteers for Christ is trying to raise enough funds to initiated construction. Lecio was in negotiations with the banker for a long time. The banker wanted substantially more for the property that Volunteers for Christ was willing to pay. Lecio was patience and was able to purchase the property for a really good price. God is Good!We shared dinner with Lecio and Ilma at the Wanderly’s home. This was a wonderful time of fellowship and an opportunity to get to know Lecio. Ilma and their children better. As usually, we ended the evening with reflection of the day and a group prayer.We are grateful for all your prayers.
