FRIDAY, JULY 18: VBS



Here is one picture from today's VBS which had at least 300 kids in attendance! After reinforcing the importance of handwashing and killing germs, our team gave each child a full-size bar of soap to take home with them. We decided to do this as the kids were leaving after being told how crazy things can get, with an almost mob-like mentality and can get dangerous for the children. The kids were so thrilled to receive the soap that they quickly ran home to tell their parents, who then returned asking for more soap - something that is so basic to us felt like Christmas to them! Thank you to all who contributed the 4000+ bars of soap that were raised for this purpose! We look forward to giving more out tomorrow and in the days to come!
