It’s VBS Time!

ByAndrew

Besides being an essential part of our ministry, Itacyara is also very much in demand by other churches. This month she accepted an invitation to help with the Vacation Bible School of one of our sister churches in São Luís.

The first VBS, and the Good News Baptist Church ended last week, and it was a roaring success. Together with an outstanding team from the church, Itacyara ministered to around 80 children.

Theme for the week: “Jesus, My Greatest Treasure”

The event was such a success that Itacyara has been invited to participate in another VBS at another sister church-plant this week.
