The last day of our work but what a treasure. Because Sonia is not here I had the pleasure of participating in the bible memorization challenge and it was such a blessing. Pastor Pablo wanted us to focus on the younger children, so in the age group 1 - 11 we had about 70+ children. Of those, about 37 asked to participate in the bible memorization. There are 10 scripture verses, and some are very long! I watched as children of all ages recited the scripture - from 1 verse to all 10!!! The number of scriptures they recited determined the size of the prize. What was so incredible is that the young man who recited all 10 verses completely accurately comes to the church and Sunday school by himself - his parents do not come. But he has a heart of God and comes even without them. Our God is so awesome! The grand prizes are back packs that are filled with school supplies, shoes, clothes, toiletry items, toys (anything you donated!). We could not accomplish this "backpack" ministry without the love and support of all those "missionaries" who stay behind to pray for us while we are on our trip. Without your love and support we would not be able to do all that we do.
