VBS

This year we had about 55 refugee children come to VBS! We had amazing donors supply funds for each child to be sponsored so that they would have the opportunity to be there. The week was incredible for the kids! They played games, made new friends, sang songs and learned more about Jesus and His word!

Camps like these were not available in the countries where they are from, so it was truly a new and exciting experience for them. They became adjusted so quickly and by the second day they were doing hand motions to each song, laughing and playing with new friends. I was so touched and proud to see how much of an impact something like VBS can have on a child. Here are some pictures to show you their faces and some of the activities they did!
