Did you know that 3 "weathermen" traveled to see the Baby Jesus?...

...haha...neither did I. But that is what I learned in VBS last week. My team was blessed with the amazing opportunity to have backyard Bible club of sorts this past week.
We started the week out with a small group in a neighborhood....now let me provide a little information about this day. My team arrived to our BYBC site to discover that it was quite bit unsafe for kids. In a time of what should of been panic mode ,because we had a facility that was proving to be faulty, the team pulled together and we worked hard to figure out the best solution. We knew that God had called us to serve here this summer and that He would be in every circumstance and situation. And He totally was! We were sooo blessed to have 5 sweet boys and their grandmas come and be a part of the BYBC and we were able to share Christ with them.
One sketchy situation turned around for God's glory!!

After that, we were given an opportunity to teach the same curriculum in a small daycare run by a sweet lady. Thursday and Friday, we were able to spend time with 17 sweet children , sharing Christ and just loving all over them!
We were also able to help in the Forum's daycare graduation ( the daycare is on the bottom floor of the hotel we are currently living in).

Week one has been completed and already God has been using us and blessing us in numerous ways.
This week we have the opportunity to meet and greet with pastors and churches that we will be working with this summer. Way exciting!

Prayer requests for today:
- traveling mercies as we visit many different places during traffic and crazy weather.
- the hearts of those we will soon be meeting and sharing Christ with- that they will be receptive to the word of God.
- the churches(pastors, staff, and volunteers) that we will be working with.
- My team as we continue to prepare and learn curriculum to teach. Also for continued unity as we continue to grow even closer so that we can be used to our full extent by God this summer.
- for the families and friends of the four of us...we all have moments of homesickness and we are being missed too:)

Au revoir,

Katie


Ps. Today my team and I visited a church on the Seminole tribe reservation in Hollywood, Fl...this is the very same church that is located in the shadow of the casino where Anna Nicole Smith died...they are also one of or the last Native American tribes that have not been "conquered" by the government...I just found that bit of information a bit amusing ;)
