Community ... In Service

The last full week of July we received a small team from Grace Chinese Christian Church in Fayetteville, AR. The "mission" of this team was to present the gospel to the children of La Escuelita through 5 straight days of special afternoon classes utilizing the curriculum of ROAR! VBS.

We received so many blessings during that week...

• focused service and quality time of worship  and learning for the LaE students and staff
• near perfect attendance for our LaE students
• a precious opportunity for "community" for the in-country staff of LaE and the visiting team of missionaries
• excellent preparation and supplies provided by the GCCC team
• Incredible and encouraging family times of fellowship including an authentic Chinese meal prepared for our family that brought back many fond memories of our times at CWC (Christian Witness Center)

“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much” – Helen Keller.

Rains with this season are often torrential and generally fall in the afternoons. When this happens we sometimes have to cancel classes as the water is too high for the children to get to the property. During the week of ROAR!  we prayed that rain would fall in the evenings and would not hinder our afternoon sessions! Our prayers were answered and within an hour of the completion of our last class the skies opened up creating a full 3 hours of flooding in the streets and reminding us that the Lord had heard our prayers and held the rain!
