Day 11: Looking back to last Sunday

Day 4:  Church and more

Sunday brought a day of teams splitting up for different ministries. One team started out at the third day of a VBS in Escobal. There the Masters team first performed their drama set to the music of “Break Every Chain.” The rest of us began at church (Templo Bautista de Atenas), where half of us ran Sunday School for the children, and the other half listened to the service (which they were nice enough to translate into English). The Sunday school began with the Tica teachers leading songs and offertory, and then they turned the story time over to the Master’s Academy team and the crafts over to the Xenia team.  Always a good opportunity for interaction, even in our limited Spanish abilities.

After lunch, the church team divided into two teams—one ran a soccer tournament at a local school and one another VBS at San Jose Sur. At the VBS, five children raised their hands in response to the invitation. We need to pray for any of the children and teens who have raised their hands in decisions made—they need to grow!

Both groups finished up at the end of the soccer tournament (and no, we Gringos do not win those), and the Masters team performed their evangelistic drama again.  A short message and invitation followed.
