VBS

I don't actually have a designated day at our school in San Marcos, but occassionally I have given up my office day to go to school. This past week I was there, helping the SHINE group with their VBS program. Americans that come here for a week and do 3-4 "VBS"s don't really understand the impact they are making on the kids. What is great about these programs is the fact that groups actually spend time with the kids, helping them do crafts, telling them stories, and keeping them entertained. Most importantly, they show the children the love of christ and make each and every one of them feel special. This is something many will never get at home, and during the 10 weeks groups are here, they are showered with those gifts of love. It is easy to become numb to some things while we are here for two months, but I am always touched when I work around the beautiful children at our schools.
