Only 5 days left...

As we were working today, we realized that we only have 5 more days left in Antigua. The time has gone by so fast and we are so thrilled to see the ways God continues to work both in the lives of our team members and the people they come in contact with.

Our morning began rather early today as our team gathered in three different groups to begin our day. Group one consisted of Katie, Andrea, Kyle, Angel, Emily Lew and Sarah. This group traveled to Grace Christian Academy to help in a chapel program. The team sang several songs and put on a puppet show for the kids. I then preached about Gideon and we had a wonderful time with the kids. 

Group two consisted of the radio station team: Victoria, Lana and Lee and Joshua continued working at the station doing editing and other projects. 

Group three helped at Bolans Primary school in the reading classes (Emily Nelson and Abby). They were able to spend some time tutoring students and getting some one on one interaction. 

This afternoon, the team prepared for our third day of Bible school at the Kirland's house. Today we had over 60 kids show up and several of them were new. We took some of the teenagers inside and spent some time singing and teaching them some American choruses. They taught us as well. The team put on a puppet show for the kids, who are growing quite fond of characters like "Helpful puppy" and "Friendly Tarantula."

After playing football (soccer) with the kids during game time, we dismissed and headed home for the evening. The team is pretty tired after a long day. The kids at VBS certainly have a lot of energy, and our team has been great at matching that enthusiasm and showing the love of Christ in their interactions with them. 

We are looking forward to another jam-packed day tomorrow and would appreciate your prayers as we continue to serve the Lord here in Antigua. 

For God's Glory,
