Day 3: Updates

Dear Family and Friends
Our 4 teams consisting of God, Sin, Jesus and Commitment went two different directions to do work projects at the village churches and VBS. Day 3: Team God and Commitment went to Hocaba, whilst Team Sin and Jesus went to Tabi. The folks at Tabi surrounded our team with lots of curious children wanting to work as hard as our students. The team was asked to find more rocks to fill the land marked out to be a basketball court, and they dig and they dig for all kind of soil in the village, surrounding the church. The villagers were friendly and helpful in their endeavor. VBS went well for the team, they said the children were very receptive and half of them were at our presentation last year. They got a lot of work done, in fact a sense of satisfaction was definitely on their countenance as they shared how pleased they were at the hard work they put in and the friendships they developed with the children.

Team God and Commitment were at Hocaba, and Commitment was asked to fill out the church kitchen and office with sand and gravel so that they can lay the foundation with cement. Team God has the task to remove all the stubble in the ground at the water filtration site. Then fill up the foundation with rocks and gravel so that cement work can take place in the next day. With the help of the other team, we managed to fill up a third of the water filtration site with rocks and gravel.

Now, VBS for Team God and Commitment went really well. They were able to minister in the downtown of Hocaba and invited about 40 to 50 children out to this VBS presentation. They grow with each minute. Our students rawk.

Not to forget, a group of us was asked to help divert a group of troublemakers who are trying to distract the VBS presentation. Tim Davis, Joel DeSousa, Nic Seagraves, Mr Alvarez and myself got to share our testimonies and two youths received Christ. Their names are Giovani and Victor. Five other friends of theirs also heard the good news, and are seriously contemplating the gospel. Please pray for these youths, that they will go to CC Hocaba and check out the bible studies there. They were also introduced to the local Pastor.

Ok, try to update you guys soon about what's going on on Day 4.

Blessings.
