Last day of VBS

Today was our final day of VBS with our team from Oregon. We were able to give out hot dogs, punch, and candy to the kids and families who came for our final day. Best of all, we were able to teach them about the Bible and about God´s love. Our Oregon group donated 400 t-shirts to Village of Hope that say Jesus Loves Me. It was also a great opportunity to remind the families about our BIG outreach during Labor Day Weekend. Having groups come and do mini-VBS outreaches is always fun for us because it contnues to grow the relationship that we have with the families and children. Here are some classic shots from today.

Praise God!

We just received word last night that we have just received funding to continue construction at Village of Hope and complete the roof! Our goals were to have the roof completed by winter and thanks to God, we will have a roof on before winer comes along. We have a group of contractors who will be coming from Tulare, California in a few weeks to help get the roof started. What you see in this picture are many of the children we work with and in the background in the frames is the blueprint of what Village of Hope will look like once it´s done. It´s normal to see kids lingering around and pointing out all of the facilities we will have to offer. God is so good!

Thank You to our friends from Oregon!

We are very thankful for the help of a church from Oregon who came down to Mexico and did a VBS out at Village of Hope! We worked a bit on cleaning up the facility during the morning and then doing a VBS in the afternoon. They are headin out early tomorrow morning and we hope to see them again soon! What a group of hard workers! Thanks for all of your help!
