VBS at Casa Esperanza of Angels

The nine-member group from Texas completed four full days of VBS for the children.   I am sure they feel tired but contented that they brought so much joy to a large group of under privileged children.  Neighborhood children attended in addition to the 34 children who reside at CEA.   They had rotation of teachers for classes, and activities such as crafts, quizzes, games.   It takes a lot of work to conduct things for four full days.    

The children received certificates at the closing of the ceremonies.    Thanks were extended to everyone for their hard work.    

On Friday, they will all go to a nearby resort for a day of fun at a recreational park.    This will be another day of adventure the children have probably never had before.    They averaged 55 children each day which is an excellent turnout from children in the community.   Hopefully, it will result in some families from the community attending the worship services in the future.   

Then on Saturday, the Texas group will leave for Cebu and the long trip back home to Greenville, TX (west of Dallas).   It was a lot of sacrifice for these people to go and do this for the children and we are grateful for their loving support.   There is not much jet lag going but they will have to spend a week getting over it when they get home.

Ronald and Gigi will be tired from overseeing the entire week, making sure they have transportation to and from the hotel, meals and things needed for the day-to-day operation.   It may be a let-down to the children next week without things going on each day, but I'm sure they need rest also.

Thank you to the sponsors who support these children and make it possible for this home to exist.

Ron and I are doing well as we continue to work from home to oversee the Save Asian Souls' work.   It is expanding with an increase of girls added to our safe houses in Nepal.   We have two more safe houses opening up in Laos so we'll have an increase of girls in Vientiane and Luang Prabang, Laos soon.   As my workload increases, so does our age, but we are blessed to still be able to manage the work.

Wishing all of you a good summer with God's great blessings.
