VBS - Day 6 (Saturday)... LAST DAY!

We praise the Lord for 12 children saved during this week of Vacation Bible School!!! All of our efforts were worth it! This last day we met for a short assembly to hand out prizes earned throughout the week and to invite everyone to church the next day. Then, all of us workers headed to the Hess's home for an afternoon of food, fellowship, and much-needed rest!

AWARDS ASSEMBLY
(We did receive one complaint about our open-air meeting, so the orphanage director offered to let us move into the orphanage's property, which we gladly did. Behind the gate where David is speaking in this picture, you can see where we originally met all week.)

HAPPY CHILDREN SINGING ALL OF THE SONGS AND RECITING ALL OF THE VERSES THEY LEARNED THIS WEEK

The prizes given were as follows:

1. Perfect attendance all 5 days - coloring book

2. Prize for bringing a visitor - small plastic jewelry box for girls, sports drinking bottle for boys

3. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize for bringing the most visitors - kite, small plastic golf set, tote bag

4. Prize for reciting all 5 verses - small can of soda and candy bar

In addition to this, each child received a lollipop and tract to take home to their parents!
