August 2007 VBS

A team of six arrived from Highlands Community Church in WA to hold a VBS on the Thai/Cambodia border with our school children. We had a daily Bible time of singing, memory verse, and Bible lesson, and then spent time each day teaching the children life skills. The girls learned hand sewing and the boys learned carpentry. At the end of the week, the girls had made pin holders, a sewing bag, and a quilted pot holder. The girls were given the sewing essentials for their sewing bag, and they were thrilled. The boys made their own tool boxes and small book shelves, and they too, were given the essentials for their tool boxes - hammer, saw, screwdrivers, tape measure, and a square. It was a wonderful week - and I'd like to share some photos of the week with you!

Hope you enjoyed seeing these photos. We praise God for all the He did to make this VBS a wonderful time for the kids. We pray that they gained spiritually as well as gained life skills.
Blessings,
