Vacation Bible School, No sound system required!

We recently had a chance to offer free Vacation Bible School to the children of the Aldea, the little neighborhood outside of Casa Shalom. For three days, we took Bible lessons, crafts and snacks to the children as we met at a tiny Assemblies of God church constructed primarily of tin and cardboard. About 75 children participated each day and were blessed by the teachings about God's unconditional love. Jessica was blessed to be able to lead three Bible lessons inside the church!
