How is God using North Oaks in Little Mexico?

 

 

This morning we went to the Boys and Girls Club with the understanding we should be able to do our complete VBS plans, but that the director would have to check with management the day we came in.  So, our hopes were up... after getting there, I the project leader spoke to the director and he said he wasn't so sure anymore that we would be able to do our full VBS.  We were prepared for that answer and the group was willing to be flexible but still it was disappointing...  shortly there after I called several of my friends to pray about this ministry and we let the group know- North Oaks Community Church.  After going around to the stations I stopped at the VBS and found out that the managers decided it would be fine for them to do their complete program and that we could do basically whatever we wanted.  It was an answer to prayer.  So, the video below is a result of that... I think this was an organized game... or maybe just organized chaos! Either way... the VBS went well, students were building relationships, and kids were enjoying the program!

 

 

We had the opportunity of splitting up males and females: 5,6,7 year olds; 8,9 year olds, and 10,11 year olds.  This video reflects the amount of kids in just one or two age groups. 

 

Both churches stepped up or kicked... as they found the energy to participate in this exercise-- quite literally and was being Jesus to these kids.  What a great bunch even after the night before doing sports ministry!

 

 

So... this is a little silly but serious at the same time.

 

Ministry tonight was great at both the VBS sight and the Sports Ministry.  Great job groups! 

 

So how did we get kids from the park to hang out with us you ask?

 

Well, take out a parachute and they come right on over! 

 

Calvary Baptist Church had the opportunity of doing Puppetry and VBS in the park today... good turn out...

 

 

After arriving safely around 6:00ish both groups had dinner, orientation and worship in music.  After orientation and worship  we broke up into small groups to pray for the ministries of the week.
