SPLAT VBS

SPLAT Ministries had it's first ever VBS at Brandon Park tonight. We will continue through Wednesday night and at the end of Wednesday we will hand out backpacks full of school supplies. I was praying that God would send 50 kids buy I was also thinking that even 30 would be awesome. Tonight, we had 49 kids show up. I was elated. God truly answered. I did however discover that an outside VBS is very difficult to do. Simply because these are kids who on a daily basis do not have parental involvent in thier life nor do they have adult discipline in thier life so the least distraction was a problem. We are hoping to rent out the community center that is located right there at the park for the next two nights. Our plan is to have our worship rally inside with music, prayer, and scripture time, and then move outside for crafts, snacks and games. I am praying this will improve the attention of the kids during the worship time.

Tomorrow is the night that we will be presenting the gospel to the kids. There will be adults there to talk with them and to pray with them so if there are any decisions that are made we will know that they are genuine and not decisions made because the person next to them raised thier hand.

I am excited about what God is doing within this ministry and I pray that he continues to grow it into whatever he wants it to become. I pray that this is just the beginning of many seeds planted in the lives of these children and children still to come.
