Vacation bible school


Today we had a very busy day. We had about 40 young energetic Belizean kids come to the Ywam base to attend our vbs; boy was it busy. We had our fearless leader Mike and Jamie leading music and memorizing the ten commandments, April and Tracey were very busy with crafts and Luke and many more of us were maxed out playing games. You have got to know that these kids are awesome and full of get-up-and-go. After it was over the drama group led by my self (Brent) did a skit called the "dirty shirt."

You really have to be here to see and grasp the reality of the what is happening here. I've had one little boy named Travis and two little girls named Covenant and Demaris hanging off every limb. Cameron Eagles has made a little following of groupies. April, Elyse and Tracey have had to basically do the crafts for the kids just because they wanted attention so much. Matthew Nutter continues to go at full pace in soccer with the locals. And there are more stories to tell but I don't want to spoil all of them. One more though is worth mentioning. After the dirty shirt skit, I gave a talk on it and tied the whole thing into the gospel, and the kids gave me their undivided attention. What was learned later though was that people in our group were approached by the kids to help ask jesus into their heart. It was totally amazing.

Tomorrow is the Sabbath and we certainly need it. We will also explore some Aztec ruins :). We miss u all and wish you all a good sleep and great Sunday.
