God is moving.....

Hey everyone!

Once again, everything is busy busy busy! I have just been working a lot and trying to get things organized and cleaned up! I really just wanted to tell you all about our Vacation Bible School that my home church held last week!

We started on Sunday evening and it went until Thursday evening. Our theme this year was "Power Lab" and it was great. I loved the songs and the teaching was right on. I had the opportunity to be in the skit each night as the crazy Professor Wilma and then was able to help teach during the Bible Story time. During my time with two other adults teaching each group that came around, we really saw God work! Our Bible Blast room was an interactive story from the Bible and let kids experience different parts of each lesson! It was hard work to tear down and set up the room each day but it was worth all the work put into it! God definitely guided our time with each group and gave us the awesome opportunity to see children come to Christ for the very first time.

I may have written some time earlier this year about how when I went to Missouri for my training the first week I felt very out of place. I was surrounded by people who had been in ministry with children for years (and some for just 1-2 years) that were leading hundreds of kids to Christ. I felt as though I was a little embarrassed because I had never led anyone to Christ (though I knew God had used me to plant seeds and that it’s not about the numbers!). I was so excited to receive this training because I gained the know-how and the confidence to properly and effectively lead someone to receiving Jesus!!! And I was even more excited when I was trained to teach others the same thing!!! I also knew without a doubt that it’s not about the numbers but rather that I have a willing heart to just serve Him and be obedient when He gives opportunities to share Him!

The VBS ended really well and we saw over 20 kids come to know Christ for the first time on Wednesday night!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!! We still have no idea what God really did that night or any day after that because He was doing a mighty work before we even met each child. He is so Good!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th and hope to hear from you soon!

Blessings to you,

Steph
