Tonight was our first night of VBS here in Tampa, FL! We went to the church early to do some final set-up just as the thunderclouds rolled in and heavy drops started coming down. "Lord, keep the rain at bay!" was our heartfelt prayer. Though the sky looked ominous the rainfall was very light compared to the downpour we experienced on the way to church last night. We weren't sure if ten kids would show up, fifty kids, or just our two. There were seven children when we started the first song, but God faithfully provided 25 children for our first night! We learned some songs about Heaven and Eric taught the Bible lesson before they headed out into the drizzle to go to crafts, games/snacks, and a verse/review time. At the end of the night one little girl was saved! All of the late nights, early mornings, planning, running around, and stressing, were worth it, to see one more added to the Kingdom. As we arrived at the hotel parking lot we sang praises of thanks to God (in Spanish of course).
"Demos gracias al Señor, Demos gracias,
Demos gracias por su amor!"
We give thanks to the Lord, We give thanks,
We give thanks for His love!
